Delicious and great service. Highly recommend! My Japanese uncle said the food was as good as it is at the Gyu-Kaku restaurants in Japan.

Parking: Since it is located in a popular mall, you may have to look a little during peak mall hours. There was a lot of parking at 6 pm on Wednesday evening.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility from all parking levels.

I have no idea how he remembered everything and he was so patient with us! I think he saw we were thrilled to be together again...
