I have been eating at this restaurant since 2015. The service is always great and timely it doesn’t matter if you are dining in or eating hibachi. If you are looking for a fun place for a party the hibachi cooks put on a great show and will have you laughing so much! The waitress are always, so kind and helpful.

WHEN HAVE TIPS BEEN REQUIRED?? I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. I love this place but I just had a horrible experience. My boyfriend and I always come here for dinner, so as per usual we come and sit in the regular seating which has no other guest. The server comes up to us and says “Since we don’t receive tips from y’all we’re gonna add an 18% gratuity or y’all can order to go” me and my boyfriend were taken aback because we do tip and we honestly thought she was joking. I was very surprised because like I stated we do tip & were never rude. My boyfriend also saw the same server standing by the bar giving us a dirty look. I understand what it’s like to work in the food industry so I never try to be a difficult guest. The fact that she said they don’t receive tips from us is what surprised me. We also never order anything over $30 so I’m not sure what type of tips they’re expecting from us. I guess they didn’t think our tips were good enough.

Highly recommend!! If you’re in the area and looking for a Family or Friends Fun dining experience with excellent food. If you’re looking for a great date night. This is a perfect spot. Now if you want to take it to the next level and as they say “Show Boat” for (2) or an excellent Birthday Surprise. For $53.99 it’s a great dish they will remember for a lifetime. The grill side of the restaurant is always great and the service is excellent as well. Pro Tip~ If you have a large family or group call ahead. (Parties 10+) They will accommodate and it will make for an excellent experience for everyone involved.

We have always loved ichibon, but this time was not good. We made a reservation in advance for 9 people and had to wait for a chef for an hour, in a very cold restaurant. The food itself was good, but with a reservation, we shouldn't have had to wait that long, especially in a restaurant that had seemingly turned off its heater with no explanation. If it hadn't been my kids' birthday request, we would have left.

Came here for my birthday gathering and was very surprised with everything. Great show and amazing service. I just don't like that they made us wait for my entire party to show up before sitting us! The chefs were good and the servers were very attentive. The food I'm giving 3 stars because it was honestly underwhelming especially given the price and portions for everything! Definitely recommend you to try it at least once if you live in the area!

The staff was super friendly. And I really enjoyed the salad that comes with the hibachi and the rice. But what I received wasn’t hibachi. I order chicken hibachi but received teriyaki instead and was told that’s their hibachi. Even the veggies didn’t even taste or look like the normal hibachi meal. It wasn’t that great. But from reviews it looks like I should come back for sushi Instead.
