Staff was super friendly and it’s reasonably priced. Atmosphere is a little dated but overall clean. My steak was ok but my shrimp had a liver like tast and im not sure why that is, I need to look it up.
Looked it up, edit below.
Shrimp tasting “liver-like” is actually a pretty common complaint, and it usually points to one of a few specific issues:
1. Not fully cleaned (vein / digestive tract)
If the shrimp weren’t deveined properly, you may have tasted what’s essentially their digestive tract. That can give a metallic, bitter, or liver-like flavor.
2. Shrimp “hepatopancreas” (tomalley) flavor
Shrimp have an organ similar to a liver called the hepatopancreas. If it bursts during cooking or isn’t cleaned out well, it can create that rich, iron-like taste you’re describing.
3. Old or poorly stored shrimp
Shrimp that aren’t fresh can develop stronger, funkier flavors — sometimes described as livery, muddy, or fishy instead of clean and sweet.
4. Wild-caught vs farmed
Some wild shrimp (especially from certain waters) can have a more mineraly, earthy taste, which some people interpret as “liver-like.”
5. Seasoning or oil reaction
Certain oils (especially old or overheated ones) or strong seasonings can amplify metallic flavors.

Our food was absolutely amazing! Best steak I’ve ever had, chicken, and fried rice! Our severe, Tadese is so kind, and has a great big smile all the time! He brightens the place up, and will leave you with a smile as you walk out the door. I heavily recommend this place!

Save your money Don’t Go Run. There was 10 of us and they sat my 2 brothers (one in electric wheelchair) at a small table behind us because we couldn’t all fit around the grill . His wheelchair wound not fit at the grill and the rest of us where elbow to elbow literally . It Took 15+ minutes to get our Drinks to start off and I had to ask twice. The restaurant Wasn’t even busy. 3 people never got their appetizers my appetizer was TERRIBLE and shrimp cocktail was a joke Baby shrimp. 3 chicken breast was split between 6 people is what we got for $20+ a plate and They automatically took out the tip. Go to Fu Yuan WAY BETTER THEN THIS AND ITS ALL YOU CAN EAT. Wow wow wow Terrible experience Me and my wife cost $65 for lunch

I seriously can’t find a better spider roll no matter where I go! When I come back to Indiana, I always have to stop by! The food is amazing and really well priced for hibachi. But seriously, get the spider roll! Not only does it taste amazing, but heck, the presentation is incredible! I’m so disappointed elsewhere when it comes out like any other roll. I love the fun they have with it here! The presentation of their dragon rolls and volcano roll are pretty great too.

A-V-O-I-D !!!! This place is absolutely terrible. The chefs are very entertaining and the food is decent, the sushi roll we order(the dragon roll) is always steaming hot and very good though. But the service is very slow and so unapologetic. The owner is the whole problem! She does NOT care about her customers or making them happy..she is very greedy and just mean. You are made to feel as those you should be privileged to walk into her establishment smh. If you ever have a problem at this place you will NOT be compensated and she will be sure to give you some type of excuse.. Heres what happened to us the 3rd time we tried to have hope for this place… First, they are severely understaffed and I mean 4 people working the whole resteraunt understaffed! We waited a good 10 mins for water and another 30 for our one sushi roll (it was amazing though!) As the OWNER takes our childrens order she asks them what salad dressing ginger or ranch and they tell her they want soup not realizing both soup and salad come w their meal..so I tell her they want ranch she looks at me and says, no they no want salad they want soup .again I said ranch they will have ranch w their salads..again, she says no they tell me no salad… they ended up eating my salad smh..Then, we waited an hour for our chef to start our food all the while we could see the meat just sitting out the whole time uncovered.. The chef was accommodating and very entertaining. The food was good but not worth the wait, I got the pleasure of chomping down on an egg shell..no drink refills at all. The owner always brings the check because she wants to make sure she can add any extra thing possible! We paid $96.52 for 2 adults and 2 kids..for all water, 2 chicken kids meals, one adult steak hibachi and one vegetable hibachi and one sushi roll. The owner charged us all for fried rice an extra 3.50 each making our kids meals almost $20 each!! She said no, hibachi comes w steamed rice you said fried rice. I explained that I simply said vegetable rice SHE assumed I wanted fried rice because she could upcharge it. I am positive that all hibachi comes w fried rice not white steamed rice! She added the charge to everyone’s meal. Then she told me that we wanted trouble last time we were there and to pay and leave.. we had “trouble” last time because she did this same trickery to our check last time as well. As I walked to the restroom I could hear another patron discussing his bill w her having the same problem being upcharged.She is greedy and absolutely rude. We will never return to this place. It’s a shame because we love the one sushi roll we always get and the chefs know what they are doing but the owner is running this place into the ground! All the owner cares about is getting all the money she can from everyone..that’s why they are so understaffed.

Something has changed with the Sesame ginger salad dressing. I used to love it, but now I don’t even know what that is. Please bring the old recipe back atmosphere and food is usually great! ❤️

Rush Rush Rush! Messed up drink order. Messed up food order. You hurry! You eat! You get out! Oh a suggested gratuity list beginning at 18%, up to 22%, of which I gladly pay, but gratuity is commensurate to the service and and the service was not good.
