BYKidO Pro-Tip:ย If you are visiting with young children or a larger family group, book one of the three private dining rooms in advance to enjoy a more relaxed, enclosed setting away from the main counter traffic. If dining with older kids who enjoy the kitchen action, opt for counter seating to watch the cast-iron pots in action.
