Customer Review Summary
Plum Garden is praised for its ideal atmosphere for celebrations and lively service from chefs like Freddy. The food, especially the filet, scallops, and assorted sushi, is highly regarded for its quality and flavor despite being on the pricier side. While many reviews highlight the pleasant staff and entertaining chefs, there is a significant negative experience about poor service and long wait times during a birthday celebration, leading to a recommendation against visiting during busy times. Overall, the restaurant is noted for fast service, quality food, and an enjoyable dining experience, though inconsistencies in service quality and food preparation, such as rubbery shrimp, were mentioned.

Plum Garden provided the perfect setting for a friend’s birthday celebration. Freddy’s entertaining flair added a lively and enjoyable experience. The filet and scallops were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor- but that could be the butter, haha. The overall experience, from the ambiance to the food, was fantastic. Highly recommend Plum Garden for a special occasion or a simple dining experience!

Wonderful assorted sushi for two. Not the cheapest but really good quality. Staff is nice. Yum!

I have been going here since I was a teenager, 20+ years ago. Not only is the food here absolutely delicious, the staff is always pleasant, the chefs are amazingly talented, and always put on a great show! It may be on the pricier side of food, but well worth it!

Today is March 8th, 2025. Today is my aunt and brother birthday and we came to this hibachi restaurant to celebrate! We had reservations at 7pm and we been here for 2 in a half hours it’s currently 9:48 right now and didn’t get served. People who came after us got served before us and the lady we had kept avoiding our questions about when is our chef going to be there. They is very unprofessional at their job and that was just a waste and time just sitting there getting asked if we wanted “more drinks” or “more salads and soups”. The lady was mad because we got up and left once a chef came out to serve people who came after us! I do not recommend coming here again they is HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL and have no COMMUNICATION with guest! 0/10.

Went in on a slow day and seated right away with another family for Hibachi. Food was well cooked and entertaining chef.

I think this place has the fastest service along with high quality food. Always an enjoyment when I go and never leave feeling unsatisfied. The roll I ordered with the Salmon skin with scallions, it was a delight, along with ~Sushi for 2~ which also included miso soup and salad for two. Very good. Highly recommend. Good place for this restaurant, and after eating you can walk the strip and go into stores and shop.

I forgot to take a picture of my sushi but, everything was amazing. Except for the fact that the waitress kept bumping and spilling my drink, my martini was very strong! Our chef was funny and made our visit enjoyable! The food was seasoned perfectly, the fires were a'blazin, and the times were a'rollin!

Cute interior and the service was amazing, but the shrimp on top the sushi was rubbery and there wasn’t much eel in the eel roll we ordered. Amount of avocado was good.
