We ate there about 30 years ago and always wanted to come back. This was before the “Kill Bill” movie had come out. It is much more commercialized and touristy now (plastic English menus, for one). The yakitori isn’t as good as I remembered. However, the Wagyu was great! It still has a great atmosphere, in spite of the above caveats. It is very noisy, so don’t expect to be able to carry on a lot of conversation. Nonetheless, I do recommend it.
