We already have 13 of them in the US. The one near me has been open for over a decade and the lines are always about 1.5-2 hours to get a table.

Nah, this will have limited niche appeal in the US, similar to themed restaurants and hibachi.

In the US locations, they don’t have a lot of the perks that you can get in China (ie: manicures). The most we got were free little toys & fruit (for birthdays)

Reminds me of Ichiran- won’t be franchised to maintain peak quality and expands very slowly…I’ve only seen them in nyc outside of Japan

The hidilao I went to in LA had none of that extra stuff. It was strictly a restaurant.
