PositiveFrom post: Niku X Review
"The user had a birthday dinner at Niku X, giving the food an 8/10 and the experience a 7/10. While the food tasted good and was well-cooked, including king crab and wagyu beef, the experience was described as chaotic. The user felt the restaurant missed the point of Korean/Japanese barbecue by cooking food in the kitchen instead of at the table, and noted odd pacing of dishes and near-missed orders."
