"This place revolves entirely around Japanese A5 wagyu, which is just another way of saying: save this fancy steakhouse for special occasions, or when you’re dining with a coworker who really cares about wagyu beef marble scores and whether a cow ate organic grass or was massaged before it died. The massive binchotan grill is the centerpiece of the room, and chefs barely take their eyes off filet mignons and Jurassic-looking tomahawks cooking over the flame. Expensive cuts of raw meat are paraded around the space on a platter for diners to inspect before they order. And you even get to pick your own personal steak knife for the evening. In short, dinner here is an immersive beef-centric experience that’s unlike anything else in town." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
