Arrived there at about 9:30p.m. but the restaurant was still rather busy. Luckily there were about 2 smaller bar tables where one could wait and order some drinks and "non- yakiniku" dishes. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I was able to sit at the round bar area. It is spacious enough.The "Wako Wasabi Pork TORO" (和幸山葵豚肉TORO) was excellent and easy to control (relatively fool-proof: just place it on the rim of the stove for about 2 minutes before flipping it over) - very tender and juicy.

The "Pork MOTSU" (intestine) was also very good. I think it's similar to the famous "MORI HACHI Pork motsu".
The scallop looked pretty good but I over cooked it a bit. Be careful with this one.
The salad was good. The “Fried Riceball(?)” (燒飯團yaki onigili ) is just so-so.
A slightly trickier thing is about the drinks: it’s rather hard to keep your drink cold with the stove next to it! I’ll ask the staff to put a LOT more ice in the bucket to chill my sake (Dassai 獺祭) next time.
Efficient and friendly service even if there were many customers at the time.
A little bit smoky. The decor is pretty cool.
The prices were very reasonable too.
Highly recommended.
*P.S: I wouldn't brand the place as particularly romantic but it's definitely modern and chic. There was an unusually high amount of couples that night. I later know from the locals that in Japan, couples in the mood for romance will go to yakiniku places in order to become ... 元気になる.
