Have you tried our tobanyaki yet? Our lobster, A5 Wagyu and hamachi offerings are all accompanied by savory vegetables and seasonings. It's an interactive dining experience cooked to your liking every time 🤩

📝 The traditional Japanese cooking style of tobanyaki involves roasting your dish on a ceramic plate that retains and radiates heat, resulting in even cooking. At O-Ku, our tableside pot lets you customize the level of cooking from the comfort of your seat.
