Sizzling Lunch

My first time here and I've been talking about going here with my goddaughter for over a year or so now. We finally went this rainy 1st Friday and this place was packed.
We were seated right away and the service was super fast. Upon entering the place is simple, clean, and modern.
The food was amazing we had:

1. Gyoza: Crunchy, moist, and flavorful. It doesn't even need sauce.

2. Takoyaki: My family loved this and was beautifully plated.

3. Salt & pepper wings: Crunchy and well seasoned.

4. Cheese corn: Mixing it was a cool experience and it was nice and cheesy.

5. Beef pepper rice: This was flavorful and it was cool to see the meat cook as you mix it. Well seasoned and it was cool how the rice would get crunchy and put it on another level.

6. Kurobata pork belly udon: The noodles were nice and chewy. I loved that all the condiments on the table makes it easy to get the taste your looking for. This was my favorite.

7. Pork katsu with curry sauce: Perfectli cooked, crunchy, and moist. It didn't need the curry sauce but the sauce was delicious.

When we got the bill, we were surprised how reasonably priced it was. The food was amazing and the service. We will definitely be back soon.

Nice. Salmon pepper was a little bland

Stopped in for late lunch. It wasn't very busy but it was after 1pm so not surprised. Ordered on our phone, got chicken kaarage and fries, teriyaki chicken rice plate, and spicy beef rice plate. My kid liked the fries and chicken kaarage (which was decent portion). My sister also had the kaarage and fries and liked it a lot. My mom had the teriyaki rice plate, first time eating this style of food. Said it reminded her of clay pot rice. She said it was delicious. I got the spicy beef, I added the soy garlic sauce on the table and the chili pepper as it wasn't spicy enough for me, but it tasted great. Sugarcane drink was exceptional, not many places have this and it was done right. Overall very good. Sorry we were so hungry that forgot to take pics of the food.

Music a bit loud for what became a single person in the dining room. Had Chicken Katsu based on online reccomendation. It was 'OK' served on sizzling hot plate. Curry sauce also 'OK' not spectacular. decent meal just not the dish I'd hoped for.

What a nice spot. We had ordered takeout a few times but first time eating in. The sizzling plate definitely adds a fun vibe. Prices are super reasonable definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

Enjoyed a vibrant sizzling lunch today! The hot plate came out sizzling, packed with tender meat, crisp veggies, and savory sauce. Each bite was full of flavor and super satisfying. The dish was hearty, well-seasoned, and served piping hot—perfect for a midday energy boost.

Casual and delicious!

I called to order for pick up. I arrived and got my order. The bowls were not labeled especially the sizzling dishes are basically looked the same and for take out, they’re mixed already. So when I got home and found out that I did not get the pork belly and they instead gave me chicken! So irresponsible of them that they won’t even make sure that the customer gets what they ordered! I came from South SF so there was no way for me to return the bowl! So disappointing!

Overall decent, but not worth $20 for a medium portion that you have to cook yourself. Paying extra for veggies felt like a rip-off. So did being asked to tip.

Pros:
- High quality meat
- Good udon noodles
- Delicious sauces

Cons:
- QR code ordering forces everyone on their phones and ruins the vibe
- Have to cook your own food
- Portions smaller than other locations
- No vegetables included besides a handful of corn. Any veggies are add-ons that cost $1-$2 each
- Cast iron should be ripping hot to cook everything quickly, mine was just regular hot

Great food 🥘 highly recommended

Reasonably priced food that is tasty overall.
