Emily Dealy: Must have the kurobuta gyoza!
Anthony K ✌️: We tried the Kimchi + Pork Belly, Sukiyaki Beef, Shabu Shabu w/ Pork, & Kinoke Nabe. Best ranked in that order - Sukiyaki Beef best before zosui porridge, & kimchi + pork belly BEST after porridge.
Thrillist: If you go with the Sukiyaki soup, crack the egg into the broth and it'll hover on the top so you can dip your food in it... Read more.

Cherry: Little kept secret in the heart of the city! A must!
