Food:[7] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Inexpensive, good food. Friendly host..
• Poor wait service, too loud, unsanitary bathrooms, uncomfortable chairs.

“I can only guess that the last two reviews were by employees.



This restaurant has changed owners a few times, and is a shadow of

its former self. Just go into the bathrooms, look around, then decide

whether you trust the rest of the staff.



During our most recent outing (it is, after all, just about the ONLY

Japanese steak house in McAllen), the cook had to leave the grill

twice in order to fetch ingredients that were suppose to have been

placed on his cart the first time. Even when all ingredients are placed

on the cart the first time, the cooks tend to look dispirited: they

prepare the food in a professional but plain manner, no longer making

any attempt to entertain as per the manner of other Japanese Steak Houses.



The chairs around the grill have sturdy arms, and are comfortable

for anyone with less than a 32 inch waist - but torture for anyone else.

The atmosphere is generally loud - there are no curtains, bamboo dividers,

or other devices to buffer the sounds generated between tables.



On the plus side, the food is generally inexpensive (much less expensive

than the typical Japanese Steak House in larger Texas cities!), and well prepared.

In the past, we've been able to special order extra stir-fried mushrooms

for only a extra few dollars.
