👍👍 Honestly they don’t need you. So service here is chop chop. Get in eat and buzz off. The beef katsu is prob the best I’ve tasted. All prep beforehand. The dish is served when you sit. I wasn’t prepared to queue so I came early at 1045am and there were 4 in front of me. Not too bad. I still had to wa...

Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu restaurant
👍👍 When we arrived, we saw this restaurant is an all-you-can-eat one, which in our country means that the food is not the best. This was not the case in Nabezo, the hot pot was delicious, the meats were superb and all the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Also, our waiter, Kan, was really kind and she...
