    Had such an amazing birthday dinner here! The quality of the beef was outstanding — incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The staff were all so warm and friendly, and they even surprised us with a birthday gelato. The black sesame flavour was absolutely delicious! What touched me the most was that the staff all sang a birthday song together for me. It was such a sweet and unexpected moment that made the whole night truly unforgettable. A very memorable birthday experience that genuinely moved me 🥲 Highly recommend this place for both the food and the wonderful hospitality!
