AI Summary

Upstairs on Elizabeth St, a charcoal-grilled wagyu specialist where staff cook every cut for you.

Sleek, cosy booth seating above the CBD with a night skyline visible through the tall glazed windows. quiet enough for conversation, romantic for date night.

Real charcoal grilling (not gas), tableside grilling done by staff, DIY nigiri using the included sushi rice, and booth seating for privacy.

Sister venue to Korean BBQ specialist Yeongga, reviewers praise the authentic charcoal-grilling technique and traditional banchan side dishes.

Premium pricing (wagyu sets from around $99-$134) but widely seen as good value for the meat quality, though a couple of reviewers found portions small for non-beef diners.
