He said some customers shop late and they wanted to accommodate that.
"Suddenly we change to a Japanese food and they're like, oh, what's this? Some people would try it and then it Oh, nice hot pot, you know from the time," Koji-San said.
He said they have delicious food at a reasonable price, and takes joy in the fact that they've seen people come with friends, children, and grow up over the years.
"It's kind of like a dream come true," he said. "We have good food here. You got to come in. Try it.
Chef Koji-San said the Japanese hot pot is full of collagen in the broth and protein, so it's basically like getting a facial with your dinner!
