This is a fun place for dinner. The line to get in can be long, but they have a waiting list on the wall using an iPad, you enter your phone number and name and it text you automatically when they’re ready for you. They have a good variety of meats and vegetables, as well as rice and broth bases. I think it’s just a fun atmosphere to cook your own food, and perfect for getting together with a friend in downtown Costa Mesa.

Delicious food and awesome service. Staff is professional and inviting. Been here multiple times. It's great!

Love this place! Service and food are consistently great. It's not cheap. But portions are very generous.Tip: get the garlic edamame. It's awesome!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Costa Mesa. If you have not been here yet you need to go immediately. My favorite is the spicy miso broth with chicken & all the veggies. If you like spicy make sure to ask the waitress for the spicy drops (beware they are spicy.) This restaurant is a great date spot.

Food was amazing. However i don’t recommend coming after 8 pm. The workers become increasingly hostile after the 7th evening hour is upon us. Go in the noon or morning, unless you want to face some bad attitudes.

Food great. Service excellent. Get the one cut up from the bottom, the bottom kind of fatty. I was warned but didnt pay attention. Had the spicy miso base, great and just a touch of spice, nice. Comes with a great full plate of vegetables and mushrooms, you will not leave hungry. I worried that it be salty but it was absolutely not.

Came 30 minutes before closing and the staff was kind enough to seat us and we weren't rushed. The meat selection was great and delicious. Overall great experience and will be back.

Food was very delicious. The staff were excellent. The price is decent. It could be busy on certain times but when you get seated the service is fast. Looking going back to this place. Lots of parking space

I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The wait time for one person was minimal, so no complaints there, but be cognizant of the fact that a larger group may have to wait a bit as the place is bustling. There is a wide array of menu options in regard to broth, beef selection, and other options some may be receptive to in trying out. The service and staff were extraordinary and made me feel truly welcome and were dutiful in the way they attended to their costumers. I am highly suggesting this place to try out the food and to have a great place to hang out with friends and family. Will be coming back again.

First time here and i do t know why. We enjoyed the service very much. The food was so good, i probably overate. 100% recommend this place. I also recommend the capsaicin drops in the sauce.Harley and Daniel were super helpful.
