Description

Operating as the exclusive U.S. partner for Japan’s Gyutan no Lemon, the kitchen applies a Tokyo-style finish to traditional Sendai gyutan-yaki. The experience centers on combos that showcase the ingredient's variety, serving three distinct cuts—thin, classic, and thick—so you can taste how the texture shifts from tender to chewy. Each meal begins with a hot, flavorful beef soup, setting a welcoming tone for this focused, single-specialty menu.
