I ordered takeout at the store and have been waiting for over an hour, but it’s still not ready. I repeatedly asked the staff about it, and they just kept saying, “It’ll be ready soon.” Moreover, orders placed after mine were prepared earlier for other delivery drivers. The service attitude was very poor. I would suggest allowing customers to place orders online in advance.

We ordered a few appetizers and their signature tonton nabe. Let me just say the nabe had little to no flavors (only tasted the spice) with small portion of meat. Would recommend trying out Kimura in St Marks for authentic nabe. Appetizers wise, we ordered the gyu tongue which was way overpriced for $26 and only came in 4-5 pieces. The citrus salmon sashimi had no citrus flavors and the cod roe omelet actually came out cold which was odd.
Overall, our experience was pretty underwhelming. Service was okay and ambiance was nice. I appreciate the quality of ingredients but the execution just wasn’t there.

The new Hakata TonTon is different. It is not the old Hakata TonTon, and the taste changed. I preferred the old food better and the cozy vibe of a Japanese restaurant, not another Izakaya Mew or Nonono. The Motsu Nabe that I ordered, which I solely missed, taste was not the same. The soup used to be really clear with a hint of spice, really warms you up in a cold winter's day. This soup the motsu/meat were all small shredded pieces mostly collagen/fat. There used to be slices of meat that is completed replaced with these shredded pieces instead. The cabbage tasted a big grainy, not fresh or crispy. The chili shrimp omelet was okay, quite sweet, and didn't expect the shrimp to be battered/covered. I heard the executive chef was the same so I had high hope, but this feels like just another establishment of the same restaurant group. Wish there is a better Motsu Nabe place in the city. (The one in east village was not bad)

Fresh beef liver lover rejoice !! The liver sashimi is so fresh it doesnt taste gamey. I like to go with the yuzu kosho (yuzu pepper) instead of the other 2 sauces being served.
Other notable dishes to try is the hotpot and everything on the menu ( LOL ). Nothing really disappoint.
This is our second time back and we are returning for xmas dinner !!

We enjoyed our cocktails and food at this casual Japanese in Koreatown. The service was very friendly. Everything we had was delicious. Perhaps a little pricey for the portion size, but I would give it another try.
Vegetarian options: There was some salads and vegetarian items
Parking: Busy section of Koreatown, probably very difficult to find parking except for a paid garage. Street parking might be available at night, but could be difficult.
Kid-friendliness: If your kids like Japanese food, they should be fine here, there are some things they won’t like such as intestines, but there’s plenty of other stuff
Wheelchair accessibility: First floor with direct access to the sidewalk, should be wheelchair accessible

Hot pot was standard - It was little greasy to me in the end. Asked for hot sauce and they charge $3 for it. Appetizer was good. Highball was not good.. Kimura @east village is much better.
The pig decorations are so cute! I really enjoyed the avocado tofu and the Japanese style hot pot was perfect for a day after drinking. The okonomiyaki is great and I enjoyed their miso cocktail too.
