β€œI had the Combo C and honestly, everything about the experience felt special. The beef tongue was cooked perfectly so tender with a deep, savory flavor that wasn't overpowering at all. The A5 wagyu completely lived up to the hype. It was beautifully marbled and literally melted in my mouth. Every bite felt rich and indulgent, but still balanced. I also really loved the wagyu miso soup. It was warm and comforting, and the meat was incredibly soft it just made the whole meal feel even more satisfying. The lemon soda was super refreshing and helped balance out the richness of the beef perfectly. On top of that, the restaurant itself was very clean and well maintained, which made me feel comfortable right away. The service was genuinely great too. Staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care. Made me felt welcoming and sincere. Overall, it was such a high quality, enjoyable dining experience. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to coming back again.”

β€œFound this hidden gem in the East Village and it's a must-visit for beef tongue lovers! They specialize in Sendai-style charcoal-grilled beef tongue, and the quality is incredible. I tried the different cuts: Thinly Sliced: Very tender with a nice charcoal aroma. Thick Sliced: This was the highlight--super juicy and had the perfect snap! Premium Extra Thick: Honestly felt like eating a high-end Wagyu steak. Also, don't miss the Roe Rice--the salmon roe is so fresh and pairs perfectly with the meat. The Beef Tongue Curry was also super comforting and flavorful. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service is great. Definitely coming back soon!”
