Today was my first time coming here. 1st I love that they have little booths off to the side. It made me want to come back very soon for a date night. The aesethetic in here is VERY nice. 2nd the menu is reasonably priced. I enjoyed the lunch teppanyaki pick two. 3rd our chef RAZ was AMAZING! He was super funny, charismatic, friendly, and the food was good. He stayed engaged with us the entire time and he introduced new jokes I hadn't experienced at Hibachi before. He is on of the best chefs I've EVER through all my hibachi experiences. I will 100% return here.

We LOVE this place! Tried after getting their mail flyer…won’t go anywhere else. Have been back multiple times. Sushi is on point - and what a value. Long time Old Town residents and have tried nearly every other sushi joint. This is the place to go. PS While it’s cold now, their outside seating area is fun in the warmer weather.

Today was my first time dining here and the food was pretty good. However, our chef was horrible! His way of entertaining our group was offensive and invasive. He was racist in my opinion and literally joked the entire time and made it very difficult to enjoy our meal. My dining experience was not good and I would not be returning.

We visited Sake Japanese Steakhouse last night. The cocktails were delicious, and the server was very hospitable. However, we waited nearly 50 minutes for the chef to start cooking, even though other hibachi tables were served ahead of us. The chef’s show was minimal (about 2 minutes), and my medium steak was overcooked and chewy. Despite this, I’d consider giving it another chance for the great service and drinks.

I have back twice in the last 48 hours once with my mom at lunch time and once by myself for dinner and omg the lady that help me upfront was super sweet the lunch food was delicious but the rice was mushy but the dinner time made up for it bother the gentleman and lady upfront was super cool this time the rice was cooked literally perfectly and even with a huge rush my food came out in about 20 minutes (I’m not going to no other Japanese steakhouse now

Found this place by accident, but so glad we did! Food was delicious and our chef “the Ninja” gave one of the best shows I’ve seen at a hibachi! To top it off, prices were very reasonable, especially for lunch. Oh and free parking! We will be back!

Came for a birthday dinner and will not return I prefer the Woodbridge restaurant this place kept rushing us through our dinner starting from the beginning and it was very uncomfortable best part was the cook he was very funny and engaging would been better if not rushed and if our veggies were cooked longer I got the shrimp and chicken very delicious

Raz is one of the best chefs here! He is super funny and knows exactly what he is doing! He has a wonderful presence and great personality! The food is also really good too!
