My husband and i are visiting from NYC and we really enjoyed our experience here. Working in Hospitality has made me a pinch more critical when coming out to eat but General Manager Nancy was very polite, professional, constantly on the floor and touching tables which is super important in this industry. Our hibachi chef was charismatic and had the entire table laughing. Even the waiter Yoko was super professional, and packed our leftovers for us, where most places would just let you do it. Little touches that make a difference. Hibachi was delicious and my Salmon Roll was fresh. Would definitely recommend!
