All-you-can-eat Japanese wagyu and seafood with a rare focus on A5 abundance rather than single-cut theatrics. The experience is timed and package-based, leaning into indulgence and variety, with strong value relative to the beef on offer. New in Koreatown, it’s a buzzy, high-sensory room that rewards strategic ordering.
Must-Try Dishes: A5 wagyu tasting cuts, King crab legs, Wagyu ribeye yakiniku
