This Korean BBQ establishment specializes in high-grade Japanese A5 Wagyu, offering an all-you-can-eat omakase experience featuring numerous cuts. While many rave about the quality and marbling, some find the richness of the A5 Wagyu to be too much, suggesting it's best for die-hard fans or those seeking a very indulgent meal. Sides like kimchi and salads are available to balance the richness.
"The signature 'Hyun-makase' is a highly recommended all-you-can-eat A5 Wagyu tasting menu that includes a guided tour of 12 cuts, marinated wagyu, and unlimited reorders of favorite cuts."

Important Note
The AYCE (All You Can Eat) aspect might be misleading for some, as the restaurant may limit portions or stop serving meat after a few rounds. The extreme richness of A5 Wagyu might be overwhelming for some palates.
