Their wagyu beef sliders are surprisingly amazing. I know, fish and chips is a safe bet, but trust me on this one. The meat is melt-in-your-mouth good and the little slider buns are perfectly toasted. It's a total flavor bomb. You won't regret it.

Yeah, I get that. It's polished, almost too polished. Felt a bit like a corporate museum, you know?

I didn't feel the weight of it all, if that makes sense. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but that's my impression.

I totally get what you mean. That sterile feeling… yeah, I felt it too. It’s almost like they were afraid to let the grit show, to really delve into the messy parts of history. A lot of gloss, not enough soul. Maybe it's the design choices? The lighting? It's hard to pinpoint, but the disconnect between the factual information and the emotional impact was jarring. It felt more like a well-curated exhibit than a genuine memorial.
