My husband and I usually order sushi and hibachi. Every single time I order steak, it’s chewy. This time I even paid extra to upgrade to filet mignon, thinking that would fix the issue — and it was still chewy. How is filet mignon chewy?
The fried rice is usually dry, and the food overall tends to be very salty.
Tonight we ordered takeout and it was a mess. Our sushi was warm because they packed it in the same bag as the hot hibachi. To make it worse, the hot soup container was sitting right on top of the sushi. Not exactly how sushi should be handled.
Another frustrating part: when I dine in, I always get yum yum sauce with my meal. I forgot to ask for it with the takeout, so I went back about 15 minutes later to grab some. The guy at the counter tried to charge me $3 for a side of yum yum sauce, after I had just spent $60 there and live right up the street.
I called afterward and asked to speak with a manager and was told there was no manager there. I worked in the restaurant industry for 20 years, and I know that on a Saturday night there is always a manager on duty. That response felt dishonest.
Also, the front entrance smells when you first walk in from the fish/tank area. I know the stream and fish tank are meant to entertain kids, but they clearly need to be cleaned.
At this point I won’t be going back and definitely won’t be recommending this place. On the bright side, I guess it will help me save some money.
To start, the food was scrumptious, heavenly, and ambrosial! The premium price for everything became a dream come true when I could order as much sashimi as I wanted! The salmon and yellowtail was the best part of the meal along with the nigiri version of the fish!
Then there’s the service! It was quick and prompt! Everything we ordered from the All You Can Eat was brought in less than 5 minutes! They even refilled our water and soft drinks without being told to! A rare bonus, considering there are multiple restaurants with waiters and waitresses who tend to ignore this crucial component!
And finally, the atmosphere was intense and yet peaceful at the same time with the hibachi chefs putting on a show from far away while you are in your own table just eating away! Wasn’t there to eat any of the hibachi food, but I think seeing it a couple tables away was enough for me!
I highly recommend this place and wish I could give it 6/5 stars! Can’t stress how much I loved this place for my first-time experience!
P.S. A little pricey, but worth it when you want to pig out!
My friend and I went to this restaurant on a Friday night. The atmosphere feels charming and high-end. There are regular tables, I assume its for customer who only order sushi. They also have large tables for habichi grill where the chief performs and cooks in front of you. My friends and I decided to go for the AYCE sushi and BBQ, so we sat at the BBQ grilling table.
Services ⭐ ⭐
– There are many options, BBQ, Hibachi, and sushi. It was our first time here so we are very clueless. Once we got seated, we are confused on how this thing works. The server came, but didn’t try to explain to us how it works or greet us. At last we asked the manager to explain to us how the AYCE works.
– we ordered 3 rounds. The first round we ordered 10 items. Only 6 items came. So we ordered round 2. This time we ordered 5 items and only 4 items came. Lastly, we ordered 2 items and scratched off 2 items. The 2 items that was scratched off came and the other 2 items that we actually wanted didn’t come. They definitely need some management here.
– In the meantime, no servers really comes by and check in on us. We have to constantly ask for the next rounds and refills. Giving it a 2 stars not 1 since the staffs are still friendly just not as responsive.
Food ⭐⭐
– The food is not as good considering the price that you’re paying for. You can definitely find better food quality elsewhere. We got majority beefs and the beefs are flavorless and hard to chew. The one I remember the most is the brisket. That brisket composed of 90% fat. We also got the pork belly. Even the pork belly is not as fat as the brisket.
– the food came in a large quantity, stacked up like a mountain. The brisket we ordered came in at least 15-20 slices in one order. We ordered the short ribs and one order is at least 10 there. The portion here is humongous. I believe they just want to get us full and leave.
Gratuity
– There’s 5 of us and at the end of they added a manual gratuity of 22% to our check. So if you do go, be aware unless you wanted to double tip them.
Overall: DON’T RECOMMEND!
A beautiful restaurant inside, with a lackluster menu and staff. This place stands prime for a takeover of an interested owner.
I asked for appetizer recommendations: “I recommend this one but it’s unavailable and don’t recommend any others” of ~10 options.
I ordered an app anyways and it came some time after the special rolls / entree.
The nigiri options were basic and lackluster and three were out of stock (86). Again, wild. Nothing noteworthy which was disappointing.
The rolls were ok. If you like cream cheese in your rolls please disregard my entire review, it’s not for you. You’ll be fine. I took the two recommended special rolls and they were palatable but neither I’d order again.
The app I did get was the five piece nigiri which had 2-3 of the same sauces dumped over the cuts including plain sriracha. What! Wow. Zero effort. Yikes.
On a positive note, 4 of the 7 pieces of fish I ordered sushi that they were able to fulfill were fresh enough I’d order again if I came back, which I won’t. I wouldn’t turn down this place by their supplier, which can be an issue for some. Nitpicking hardcore but I do wonder however about the raw salmon which arrived room temperature or above. The other pieces were slightly chilled as they should be but the salmon as lukewarm. I don’t know I’ve ever been served it that way but it made me think about whether I should have eaten it as it was unappetizing. Final positive note – super inexpensive meal!
