We decided to stop and have dinner, the place looked really nice and they were playing music, we ordered the trio deluxe, it has shrimp, steak, chicken, vegetables, noodles and fried rice, it's really a lot of food, the down side is the steak was overcooked, the waiter was understanding and offered a second steak side, the second serving was better but a bit hard. Anyway, at the end our server went to take a break and the server in charge of us, didn't really check on our table. We ended up requesting service from other workers... Well, we most likely will not come back... There are lots of hibachi restaurants that are less expensive and offer better quality food...

I got the tiger roll (right side pic) and fancy roll (left side pic). They were both good as far as sushi’s go (hard to get wrong). The background music wasn’t too loud thankfully. So i was able to have a conversation without screaming. Good customer service from the dude who replaced the original girl (not so good) serving us. Overall I had a pleasant time. 3 stars because of the surprise 3% charge added at the end of the bill.

Truly enjoyed my dinner tonight. Love the relaxing environment, food was delicious. Had the poke nachos and Tiger roll. Both delicious. Appreciated our server Bertha who was warm And welcoming, as well as very attentive to our table. We had questions on the menu and Marcos another server came to answer our questions and took his time not rushing us. Everything was good. Will be back.

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the ambiance promised an extraordinary dining experience, and it didn't disappoint. The culinary journey began with an array of dishes that were nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection, highlighting the chef's meticulous attention to flavor and presentation. The standout feature, however, was not just the food but the impeccable service. Our server, Monika, played a pivotal role in elevating our dining experience. Her knowledge of the menu, coupled with her enthusiasm for recommending dishes based on our preferences, was remarkable. Monika’s timing was impeccable; she was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our table was always neat. Her warm and genuine interactions added a personal touch, making us feel truly valued and well-taken care of.

My wife and i stopped for lunch for the very first time. We got there right as they were opening. We were the only ones there. First impression as we walked in, the place was very clean. I ordered an appetizer to get things going. We got the shrimp and cream cheese egg rolls. My wife got the steak California rolls, and I got the steak and chicken hibachi plate with rice and veggies. Wife wanted the salmon, and i wanted to try the shrimp, but the server said it was too early for that. We got our food after 25 min. The wifee said her food was good. My order, on the other hand, not so much. They got my order wrong, but they rectified it quickly, and I was ok with it. Soda drinks only come in a can or bottle...no free refills. The steak was bland and the chicken was a little dry. The veggies were delicious, tho! We were happily eating our food when we received our appetizer I had ordered! I had forgotten we ordered it. We got the appetizer after our main food...lol. The rolls were supposed to be crunchy but were soggy, but the shrimp and cream cheese was really good. There were a lot of flies for some reason, which was a little annoying. If u like sushi or hibachi style food, I would recommend going elsewhere. The prices are about average but the food and service is not. Overall, the whole experience was just ok. Trying to find Parking was awful. The added surcharge was a surprise! I don't recommend this restaurant. Just my opinion...

Reservations were made for my sister 30th birthday party. A little hiccup when I got there but nothing that they didn’t turn around for my family and I. Michelle greeted us and was also our waitress. Her presence and customer service made the evening it’s like she was apart of our family! So sweet and she was so attentive it’s almost like we had rented out the restaurant perfect time to come for a Monday! Finding out that happy hour was until 6p was also a treat ! Everything she recommended we ended up trying from appetizers, drinks and the entrees. The chef Aaron was excellent !! The food was fresh hot and delicious! Juiciest chicken and the mango habanero sauce was so good. The rolls were so good and I highly recommend even the fried Riverside Roll and the Ay mi papa roll! The Mexican Korean fusion right there was a treat! Drinks were so good and they don’t skimp on liquor! The spicy Paloma and the soju were really good! Manager came over and even brought us birthday shots for the inconvenience from earlier and it definitely made an impression he even stopped by and asked if we were good! Service was fast, attentive, friendly and helpful. The decor in the establishment was picture worthy! Michelle went above and beyond!! Will definitely be returning !! The shrimp and chicken hibachi combo with the fried rice was 10/10! Very pleased with the turnaround and service!! Thank you for making my sisters 30th special

The chicken had no flavor or seasoning. Service was pretty slow we waited like 40min-1hr for the rolls to come out. The margarita flight was way too sweet gave me a little headache, tasted sweeter than juice. Cute place though.

Place wasn't even half full, but they sat me at the table by the bathrooms??? 🤐💩 Took half an hour for my order, but they were nice and communicated about it. I ordered the Shrimp and Salmon Fuego with fried rice. Just water to drink. Food was good and staff were very nice. Bathroom was clean and well kept. The 2 issues I had (seating and wait time) can be chalked up to the place just opening. Definitely will give it another shot later on.
