Food was reasonable and the all you can eat silver was valued for money. Food was tasty but I think it was much better before and quality of meats was definitely better. But still a good experience. Most importantly, service from Japanese staff Nagisa was excellent and top notch. Very professional, friendly, polite and attentive. A big plus to the entire experience.

We recently visited this Aun as a group of five and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional, with beautifully prepared dishes. The ambience was also delightful, creating a warm and inviting setting for our evening. However, the service fell short of expectations. We had to repeatedly request wine and food, which disrupted the flow of our meal. For a restaurant in this price range, we anticipated more attentive service. While we loved the food and atmosphere, improved service would elevate the experience to match the premium pricing.
