You should only come here if you love, and are ready to pay through the nose for Japanese wagyu beef, especially Kobe. Because the non-beef items (tofu skin apetizer at $35++, or sushi/sashimi, etc) are several levels below what you can get at top sushi restaurants (eg. Shinjiis, Hashida, Ashino, Ki-sho, Kimura, Waku-ghin, etc). More importantly, the level of service is poor fir such a premium outlet. We did not experience rude or lying service as described by certain reviewers. The staff (all non-Japanese) are quite polite, but here you have to ask for everything (eg. refills), whereas the Japanese staff at the aforementioned restaurants not only anticipate your needs, they even replace your tea or iced water with fresh cups/glasses. There is little merit in sitting at the counter, because the chefs here don’t smile or talk to clients at all! Even the excellent beef is not given proper treatment: it is cold after a few minutes, because it’s not served on a (non-cooking) hot plate; it should be served with sea salt on the side to help enhance the taste of the beef. The premium donburi is very good, although the caviar is not first-quality, it may even be just fish roe! The huge electric meat cutting machine in the middle of the main dining room is truly characteristic of the whole place: functional but lacks class! It’s also quite conceited and nouveau-riche of them to insist on a dress code, when you can wear shorts to Shinjii or Hashida!!
