The service here was excellent. The staff was very friendly, the hibachi chefs here are very talented.
The food portions are great here and will leave you feeling full and most likely needing a take-home container.
I chose this place out of all the other hibachi restaurants in Pittsburgh, simply because of the good reviews.
The service was prompt and attentive. The hibachi was good, but not necessarily the most flamboyant or entertaining in terms of the chef’s interaction with our group of 7.
The seating was cozy and comfortable. The hibachi cooking was cooked well and made to the requested temperature/order for any meats.
The entire service experience was a masterclass in incompetence. First, they held our party hostage until every last person arrived—a bizarre formality that set the tone. Then, after finally seating us in what was apparently the wrong area, a server took our full order.
That was the cue for the next scene: we were promptly told to move tables mid-transaction. We shuffled our way over, only to have a new, completely confused server arrive minutes later and cheerfully ask us to place our entire order again! It was less service, more a chaotic, memory-testing floor-show.
The food itself? It was solid. Fine. But when you charge premium prices for an experience this disorganized and frankly, insulting, the value proposition collapses completely. You’re paying top dollar for a meal served with a generous side of management failure. Hard pass.
The experience, however, was underwhelming. Our chef was polite but didn’t do any of the fun tricks or showmanship that you typically see at other hibachi restaurants. It seemed to be the same for several other tables nearby as well. The atmosphere was extremely loud, to the point where it was difficult to hear the chef or even my wife sitting next to me. Some other guests were quite loud and disruptive, which really took away from the overall enjoyment.
All things considered, this was an okay meal, but not one I’d go out of my way for. I’d dine here again out of convenience, but I wouldn’t plan a visit in advance.
The only downside to this spot is that it can be very busy and that some of the folk can be overly loud and annoying, but hey that’s on them not the restaurant!
