Took the entire family out, chose this place and chose right! Our chef Mr. Hao was amazing! He had the entire table rolling with laughter and he put on one hell of a show! The experience on its own was 10/10! The food was 👌 perfect! Definitely on the pricier end for cost but I feel like we got our money's worth! Everyone left with thier bellies full and a huge smile on thier face!

PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHARGES AFTER LEAVING THIS RESTAURANT! I picked up takeout last weekend after spending the evening at the hospital down the street with my dad. I was in a hurry, stressed and tired, so I guess I just signed the receipt for $31.26 without filling in the tip or total. A few days later, I received an alert from my credit card asking me if I left a 48% tip. $15 was added to the order making my total charge, $46.26. I can’t believe someone thought they had the right to fraudulently fill in the ticket. I called that evening to resolve it, and they pulled the tickets and then proceeded to tell me that the ticket has $15 written in the tip line and $46.26 in the total and my signature, insinuating that I legitimately left that tip and signed for it. After several times of me stating that someone else wrote it in and asking why on earth I would leave a 48% tip on a takeout order, they agreed to refund me the tip and said it would take a few days. No apology. No asking me for details about the employee that literally committed fraud, just “you’ll have it back in a few days and have a good night”. I sent a message to the manager, Chris to make him aware of what the employee did and then the lack customer service provided after it happened. Again, no apology, no explanation, just told me it would be refunded. I have never experienced this in my entire life. I love supporting local businesses, hence the reason I went there instead of going to a chain. I won’t be back and hope that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

I feel like you if you can’t take your Christmas decor down by February 28th then you might as well just leave it up, good job. Roll tide.

We have been going here for over a decade and the owners and sushi chef feel like family. These are great people and the service is amazing. We've eaten sushi from just about everywhere but no one can beat them. And the hibachi is on point! We like to sit at the bar when it's just us or hey a table with the kids. I love that we can pop in after shopping or include them as part of our date night. I recommend the sweet Alabama roll paired with Riesling. The Last Vegas Roll and spicy crawfish roll are so yummy.

They have delicious food and a flavorful house dressing. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a beer on tap so I can't say on that. However, they have a great selection of bottled beers to choose from, and the service was exceptional.

Have eaten at 5+ similar restaurants. This one is showing it's age. It was also not very clean. We sat in the front room just off the left. Floors, Walls, Windows all very dirty. They also are using floor fans to try and keep guests cool since AC wasn't keeping up. The Chef was the nicest person we met. All the other young men helping with drinks etc seemed mad to be at work. No smiles or hello just frowns. Food was just okay for ~$25/person. Steak was cooked the best while shrimp and chicken were way over cooked. If you've never been to a Japanese steak house give it a try, but for a nicer experience and more quality food I'd try one of the other similar restaurants in the area.
