Really good experience. Wouldn't say great however. Our chef was on the boring side, we found ourselves eavesdropping on chef at next table because he had a personality. Food was excellent, filet was very tender (rare) and scallops good as well. Only thing I would've changed would be just sear scallops without soy sauce, it kind of overwhelmed the flavor. But overall we had a good time, great food and enjoyed it a lot.

Great time here for a dinner with friends. One, was our chef and he was so friendly and warm. The filet was buttery smooth and tender. We will be back again!!

Located 11609 E.Colonial Drive, arriving there to a fancy facade was very thrilling. Sirloin steak was good but over salted. The soup should not be served at all. Vegetables were mostly onions. Kind of messy on the plate. Noodles were a little greasy. But, it seems like the customers there like this stye of servings. I still have the greasy and salty after taste.

Toshio is great. The food was cooked perfectly and he was so funny. Interacting woth the kids and making sure everyone was entertained and fed well.

I loved this experience! Tam was outstanding! The fried rice was the best I e ever had and my daughter cannot stop raving about the way he cooked her steak. I’m so glad we came here for my birthday!

One of the better Hibachi restaurants on Colonial Road. Our wait time was close to 40 minutes on a Sunday afternoon (too long!) The table service was professional but minus any warmth The food was fresh, cooked right and balanced in its marination. The sirloin was actually good, it was a true quality cut of meat. As a practise, you have the Chef engage with the diners more at the table, ours was probably a little tired ! All in all, a good dining experience.
