We absolutely love this place! Hands down, some of the best-tasting hibachi we’ve ever had. The flavors are always spot on, and the quality of the food never disappoints. It’s become our go-to spot whenever we’re craving hibachi. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and a great dining experience!

boyfriend and I came, made a reservation and we got stared at for a few minutes before someone came to seat us. sat down, the chairs have absolutely no space in between. Chef Jason seems to not know how to ask for permission/consent when throwing food. there was a small family seated with us where he continued to try to throw food at the mom and kid after being explicitly and repeatedly asked not to. when cooking, he barely used any sauces and seemed to cook things to almost burnt level. one of the bussers took my drink without asking if I wanted a refill, which okay I get it's his job but I'm huge on asking for permission before doing things. overall, decent food, but needs better service.

Saw the lunch special sign and the prices and options did not disappoint. They have even more specials for Monday lunch as well. I couldn’t believe the size of the pieces of sushi. Great service Lisa was so sweet. My new spot for sushi!

We stopped here for the first time whole out shopping 🛍 and I'm such a snob when it comes to sushi and yakisoba, but this place had the BEST beef yakisoba ever! The sushi was good, very light and fresh, we only some regular rolls, so I cannot say much about their special rolls. I would say for sushi this place would be in my top 5 but not my top 3, for yakisoba it would be my #1 choice. They had good drinks too, the mango martini and Moscow mule were very well mixed and everything was reasonably priced. A very nice place with very attentive and kind staff, we will definitely be back!!

Was there for birthday celebration and I have nothing but great things to say, I believe our server was Tony, seeing three other tables going on I think by far ours was the best! Not only did he pay attention to the birthday girl but also to the children and everybody got attention whether they were trying to flip food into our mouths, or catching saganaki as it was coming out of a squeeze presented by the chef and the children got lemonade the same way. The food was spectacular I had the filet mignon with shrimp and chicken fried rice, and the mixed vegetables was fabulous also the soup was wonderful the salad with the house dressing very impressive, like I said if you're looking to impress that certain someone or get together to go have some fun this is definitely the place to go! I will definitely be going back and highly recommending it to my friends and family. If you're looking for a cocktail the lemon drop is a must:-)

This place looks good inside and out. When you walk in, you're greet and have the option to have a table with a chef or with just a waitress. The food was great and cooked as ordered. I ordered the Teriyaki steak, and the one I was had something that was all fried. They both comes with soup and salad. Their English isn't all that good, but they understood enough to fix our mistake. I recommend.

I have been a regular at the original location for years and have some family on this side of town so we tried the new location. Just as great of an experience as always! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly and the chef gave us a fun experience where another patron was celebrating their birthday. The sushi was excellent as well. The restaurant is much newer and huge, can accommodate lots of parties and they have a private event space as well. Very clean and a great place for a fun hibachi grill night out.

Wonderful service, great atmosphere and great food! Jason was a GREAT cook! And very entertaining. I really liked having our group not have to share the cook station with another party since we had 12 people. Will be back in the future, fantastic experience. Thank you!
