Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, and I wanted to say that we had a great time. I was told that there was a problem with the online reservation system which resulted in overbooking, crowding, and long waits. Despite the chaos, the staff handled the situation with kindness and were extremely professional. Especially the hostess, Izzy. She had angry customers treating her poorly and still did a great job getting everybody seated in an orderly fashion. She deserves more than just kudos – she deserves a bonus or a raise. Once we were seated, the waitress and chef were also incredible even with a fully booked restaurant. The food tasted great and we had a ton of fun. Our table mates complained that the food wasn’t good, but then they took all their leftovers (and stole the Mai tai cups…). I have to say, I totally disagree. The food was perfectly seasoned, our chef Carlos did a fantastic job. Overall we had a lovely date night and do plan to return. I hope the staff get major props for how they handled the crazy night.

7/26/25- Japanese kitchen has been one of my favorite sushi restaurants for a long time. The food is fresh and delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. The staff is friendly attentive, and professional. There is plenty of parking in the stack parking structure nearby. The restaurant is clean with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. No complaints at this visit!

Sushi I had:
– Japanese Kitchen roll: It was like a rainbow roll but all the fish were on the inside, in addition to the classic California roll fillings of crab salad, avocado, and cucumber. And then masago on top. It was way too big of a roll; you could *not* pick it up with chopsticks and you could not put one piece into your mouth. You had to cut each sushi piece in half and use a fork. It was very messy the whole thing was falling apart. I would not recommend it.
– Tiger roll: It was a California roll on the inside, (imitation crab mix, avocado, and cucumber), and on top, half had salmon and half had shrimp. it was good I would recommend it.
– I learned that masago has gluten in it. And so does imitation crab mix. And then of course regular soy sauce. But they do have gluten-free soy sauce. And they don’t mark gluten containing items (and a couple other top allergens, like soy and raw fish) on their menu.
– I got green tea, it was good, had some floating leaf pieces in it though, comes in a small cup, but you get free refills. But you have to ask for them.
– Edamame was good. Pretty typical. Their menu said the edamame had gluten in it, but I can’t see what was gluttonous about it. It only had salt on top, and did not come with any sauces.
– Overall, it was hard to find sushi on their menu that I wanted to order. The vast majority are either spicy or have a deep fried things in them (so, high gluten and high fat). Very limited options otherwise. And the non-spicy, non-gluten sushis are all very mainstream and boring. Not my favorite sushi place. Samurai Sushi is still my favorite.

Waited over two hours with a reservation. Food was barely edible. Rice was not fully cooked and was crunchy. New York steak too tough to eat at all. Chef at our table was very unenthusiastic. Shouldn’t feel like sitting in a freezer when you’re at a table that’s got fire on it. Used to be such a good place to go. Never returning. The best part of the experience was the hostess.

This is our go to place for our special occasions. Always busy but what do you expect for an amazing restaurant. The hosts are sweet, servers are great, and the cooks are amazing and the food is yummy! The customers on the other hand, ugh!
If you eat here, be patient as they’re very busy and doing the best they can. Expect to be seated based on your party size. They can only seat 7-9 per table. They don’t need to be yelled at. They’re human and don’t deserve to be treated like crap.

Sitting around a grill where the food is being prepared in a professional and friendly manner is always a pleasant experience. It also helps that the food is delicious. There are a lot of protein options on the menu, which makes it easy to forget about the sides that come with it. The fried rice and vegetables, the salad, and the soup are all tasty and well prepped. Prices are still somewhat reasonable, especially when the entire experience is taken into account.

I truly enjoy this restaurant. I’ve been here for both lunch and dinner service. The staff is awesome and the sushi a pretty good. The teppanyaki is amazing. The bar makes great mixed drinks.

Had and 5pm Reservation and was not seated until 7pm. We had horrible service, we had to ask for our soup and salad at one point the server gave me someone else’s drink with their straw still in the cup. The food was very bland no flavor/spices used at all and the portions compared to the prices was unreasonable. Will never be back very disappointed and will not recommend this place ever.

Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day for 7:00 PM. We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation and the lobby was so packed we couldn’t even get to the counter to check in without a huge effort. There was barely enough room to comfortably stand without touching shoulders with others. We were told by a couple people standing nearby that they were told by staff that they are 2 hours behind regardless of reservations and that the huge line in front of us has already checked in but still won’t be seated soon. Super unprofessional of a restaurant to overbook and not prioritize people who made reservations and to take walk-ins first. It only took a few minutes for us to decide to leave and find somewhere else to eat. Very disappointing.

I’ve been going to this Japanese Kitchen since I was a small child. I took my wife out for a birthday dinner. Noted it when we made the reservation, even saw it in the notes on the reservation sheet. Even saw it noted in the “chefs” card. Nothing special desert no flaming sing song..nothing. My main beef is that the “chef” was boring as hell! No special tricks no fire balls…no showmanship. I could have got hungover and gathered the family around the black stone and made a better show. The other tables were having a ball and the chefs were throwing down fun times all around us. Our just sucked bad. We still had fun cause we were celebrating. Hope yall can find a replacement for the caveman with no personality
