On each table is a buzzer you ring to get the waiter or waitress to come and take your orders. They come very quickly after you pressing the buzzer.

I went in with a friend and there was too much food! We polished off plate after plate of the meat and vegetables. There is so much food but all very tasty. It is a nice relaxing dining style, to slowly cook bits of meat and vegetable and enjoy some beers and sake at the same time.
