I have to commend the excellent service by Chris. Ordered a soup base that we didn't like, and Chris detected our dissatisfaction and offered to change it. I left my bag in restaurant, and he chased out a distance to return me.

We definitely need more Japanese steamboats around this neighborhood. ShabuSai served Buffett style steamboat with Japanese soup bases and cost $33.50 per person and this price includes free flow drinks. I think they have improved their meat quality.
