What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A dining hall with 50+ years of history on the shores of Usa Bay, Tosa City. The signature 'Kaizoku-yaki' lets diners pick their own shellfish and lobster from the tank and grill it tableside — said to have amazed even Tsukiji wholesale buyers. Quality meat and Chinese dishes also stand apart. Constant stream of regulars from both local area and Kochi City. Tabelog 3.56 / 243 reviews; selected Shokudo 100 Best in 2024 and 2026. No reservations: expect to queue outside on weekends. Shuttle bus service available (10+ people, advance booking required). Cash only.

Reviews say 'Usa has no better seafood than this — worth the 2-hour drive from Kochi City,' 'the yakiniku is exceptional and I can't understand why it's not more famous,' 'picking from the tank and grilling yourself is the best experience,' and 'there's always a queue on weekends, but this venerable institution is absolutely worth the wait.' Tabelog Shokudo 100 Best 2024 and 2026. Featured in 'Gurutto Mama Kochi' in July 2025, confirming recent operation.
