" HIKARI proved to be a delightful spot for dinner. The cooking experience at your table adds a fun element, and the staff were attentive throughout. However, I wish they had more vegetarian options as the menu catered more towards meat eaters. The smoke did get quite thick, which I hope they address in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended to me, and I can see why! The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a date night. The food was fresh, and grilling at the table was such fun! However, we did find the portions slightly smaller than expected for the price. Still, I’d highly recommend trying their unique menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was intrigued by the mixed reviews but decided to give HIKARI a shot. The food was tasty, but honestly, I expected a bit more authenticity given the hype. I tried the mackerel and found it to be a bit over-seasoned. Service was friendly, but the staff seemed overwhelmed at times, which affected the attention we received. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'll be more selective in my orders next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family celebrated my sister's birthday here, and we loved every moment! We opted for the omakase set and were amazed at how much food came out. Everything was beautifully presented and came with detailed explanations from our server. The food tasted fresh and was cooked just right. The ambiance is inviting, but the smoke was heavy by the end of our meal. I would still recommend this spot for any special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is not just any BBQ! The uniqueness of grilling in front of you brings a sense of tradition, which I truly appreciate as a Japanese food lover. Each cut of meat was grilled beautifully, and the flavors were rich and satisfying. It was an entertaining and delicious meal! The dessert options were a nice touch as well. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The prices here are a bit steep, but I believe it’s worth it for the experience! The meats were well-prepared, and I loved trying the different sauces. On the downside, it was smoky, and I felt the portions could have been bigger. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would like to return once they've improved the ventilation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here with colleagues and it was a fantastic experience! The BBQ style allows everyone to cook at their own pace, which we loved. The variety of meats was impressive, though I thought some dishes could have used more seasoning. Overall great fun and memorable. The smoke was quite present, but so worth it for the delicious BBQ!
