Family of 3, we sat for Hibachi and ordered. It was only 5pm and the place was practically empty. We waited. And waited. After 20 minutes… they sat a huge family on our table and we were squeezed to the side. We were still waiting. We had to wait until the new family ordered. We watched them decide one person at a time. When we complained the waiter treated me like I have never been to Hibachi before. I have been going to Japanese steakhouses since before he was born. We were about to get up and leave when the chef finally showed up. It looked like he was exhausted already. And we should have left because he was a horrible Hibachi chef. First of all he could not distribute the food evenly. And my medium rare steak got served only about 15 seconds before my son’s well done. And the food tasted either too salty or too bland. The owner was nice though and was trying to make up for it. Gave us a plate of fried dumplings on the house! This bumps up the stars for “Service” by 1.

Ate Dinner here on Friday, September 5, 2025
This was my first time at this Japanese Steakhouse. Certainly not my first time at a hibachi restaurant.
Upon entering we were greeted by who I would assume manager and hostess. You get the option of sitting in the restaurant or hibachi. We had to wait for our 3rd person to arrive before we are seated. Keep in mind, it is a Friday night and we were on the cusps of peak time. Once he arrived, we were seated. All started off good. There was another young couple already at the hibachi we were seated at.
What brings this review down to 4 stars is the server. She seated us but was constantly preoccupied or distracted. When it came to asking for our drink and food orders, she would ask but wrote on her pad while looking elsewhere. It was determined that she was looking out to fill her station. After taking all orders once our hibachi was filled i had requested an order of Gyoza. Guess what, because of her being distracted she totally forgot them. Thankfully, not on our bill in the end.
Soon after, the hibachi chef arrived. If I understood him right, his name was Ben. He did a great job however the young couple next to us told us they love the fried rice at this place. I may not be Asian but their version of fried rice is mehhh. It was literally pre-cooked fried rice (as it should be) in oil with soy sauce squirted on with some fried scrambled eggs. Certainly not the traditional version that I make at home. And to be frank, mine is far better! And not so greasy!
Yes, lots of oil used in the making of the food from the protein to the veggies. And because the hibachi is at a high temp at the risk of charring your food it tends to be undercooked. My scallops could’ve been a minute or two more but the chicken was cooked well. The shrimp was overcooked and veggies were quite al dented. The food was good but inconsistent. Ben did a fine job cooking and ‘entertaining’ us but it is evident he is going thru the motions. He did do the squrting of the Saki into people’s mouths and flipping of the food as well.
Here’s were the 4 stars come in. When it came down to paying, I wanted to use my apple pay. The server told me they didn’t do that. I had to pay cash. Told her I didn’t have any. According to the young couple who did use card, they were attacked verbally by her when it came down to the tip. She made them pay more!!!! The same with us, she insisted we pay to. There was no doubt we were going to buy she was extremely pushy and IN YOUR FACE, literally with the menu that states 18% gratuity. That left a bad taste in my mouth and very upsetting. The bill was paid and we left. Aside from that it was a good experience but I won’t be returning.
If you get a server that is a bit older, petite with long black hair in a pony tail and bangs, SIT ELSEWHERE!!!

It was my birthday. My dear friend treated me to a meal . Our first time there and will be our last time. The staff was polite and very attentive. Plenty of food but with that said I must say that I am not happy. I got the chicken which was good until I bit into some that had small pieces of crunched bone . My friend ordered steak. Medium rare. It wasn’t. Some pieces were burnt and most was not cooked at all . Nothing close to medium. Raw ! My friend spent her hard earned money and didn’t get to enjoy meal the way she should have. We won’t go back.

Great place for hibachi and sushi!! This place is amazing and the staff is very friendly. The food is great and the menu is large. They even have a gluten free option for soy sauce. The drinks are delicious and are priced great. I reccomend the zombie it’s got a kick and only cost $8. The entertainment while there cooking is fun and they really try to get you to interact. There plenty of food for leftovers!!! They have the best egg fried rice around!!! You can do take out or dine in. There is a sushi bar,Drink Bar, restaurant booth seating, outdoors and hibachi area. Plenty of options for seating to enjoy this great local favorite!!!

Food is great!
Fantastic menu with prices and $$ for all.
The place is pretty and comfortable.
However, if what you are looking for is a cozy, quiet, and intimate place to retreat and enjoy company or time alone, this is not it.
It is loud, noisy, and annoying due to the loud noises of groups at the grill.
Again, food is great!

Joey was an amazing server! Someone who seemed like management came to check on how we were enjoying everything as well, so wonderful service. Sushi was DELICIOUS, the hibachi rice was also pretty good. Got an alcoholic beverage named “Blue Hawaiian” which was also made well, not over powering strong, but not too sweet! We will come back, maybe sit at the hibachi next time!!

First time here. The place was a different experience. The food was good. The cook was good also. The only downside was the salad dressing. Not used to their home made topping. Tried the spring roll. It is not what you are expecting. It was very good. It is a must try. The vegetables are very good also. We got the shrimp and scallops. Very good food
