"For large parties looking for a private room:You MUST call ahead to reserve their unique, tatami-style dining room, which features 40 seats, 4 large tables, and a karaoke tablet that projects onto the wall. This is because you have to sign a contract and pay a deposit in order to reserve their super special private room.The contract includes details such as:1. Non-refundable deposit of $200.00 which is applied towards your final bill2. Minimum bill must reach $800.00 (before taxes and mandatory 20% tip)3. Room rental fee of $5.00 per person4. Room is reserved for 2 hours (Food/Drinks have a 1.5 hour time limit)5. Wine corkage/Cake Fee: $15 each6. Socks MUST be wornOverall, having your own karaoke room seemed better in retrospect. You 're so busy eating there is barely enough time for singing. Half of that will be spent scrolling through artists because of the defective search function. Even the servers had a hard time.Food wise, there was nothing spectacular. I liked how the appetizers were also AYCE but the choice of meats/veggies seemed lacking. I didn 't see a sauce station and the ones they provided us were not great. Ponzu, peanut, cilantro. Towards the end we wanted ice cream and pressed the call button several times but no one ever came.However the lady who took my reservation was very patient and helpful with the entire process. And although they were extremely busy, when the staff actually did check in, they were very polite and attentive. This was a good experience for my large group but I doubt I would return if I was just craving shabu."
