One of the better hibachi places I've been too. Food was good waiter was awesome, didn't skip details. Only complaint wife asked ginger sauce and didn't get it. But that doesn't take away from the great food and great atmosphere.

Ordered Bonzai to go last night night for dinner and it was absolutely disgusting. I ordered the hibachi steak and it tasted like organ meat of some kind, it tasted like low quality scraps of beef that they had left over and cooked up with lots of nasty gristle. Definitely ruined our night. Also the shrimp appetizer was so fishy and gross that it ruined both our entrees and added insult to injury with the hibachi steak dinner. The vegetables were still hard and uncooked. Chicken was dry. I called and spoke with the manager to get a refund and was met with lots of attitude and unprofessional demeanor she said that she didn't like how I "bashed" her company online, she wasn't gonna approve of the refund and "I can just decide not to eat there anymore" because I posted an online review. Just to let yall know how management handles problems.

1st time visit. Seated immediately, waitress took our drink orders within about two minutes of seating. The chef was very entertaining and good at cooking. The portions were huge and delicious. Full bar 🍸. Great experience, was about as good as the Hibachi restaurants I've been to in DFW. Will definitely be back.

I normally don't post reviews, but wow! To say this was a horrible experience would be downplaying my visit. Service was not good at all, food wasn't much better--my party is very happy we didn't get sick from the undercooked shrimp. Now on to our hibachi cook. We had our rice 20 minutes before any meat, so it was cold. The cook was inappropriate/akward with his jokes to the point the table didn't know what to say .This place was a nightmare...

Rice could be better seasoned. But service is amazing and very warm. Chefs are humorous and keep conversations going. Overall decent for large groups, but not worth multiple trips by yourself.

The BEST sushi I've had in a while. Also, our server was very friendly & she was very helpful, as well. We came a little late but it was still packed which was a good sign from the start. Good restaurants stay busy. I had sushi & my husband had hibachi. I would absolutely eat here, again!
