Matt was amazing! He was welcoming, attentive, and professional without ever making us feel rushed. He checked on us, gave recommendations and made sure everything came out how we wanted. The chef was incredible as well — very funny and the food was great. You can tell they both genuinely care about giving a great experience. We’ll definitely be asking for Matt again!

Such a fun experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly right in front of us. The hibachi chefs really know how to put on a show—lots of laughs, great energy, and amazing flavors.
The portions were generous (you definitely won’t leave hungry), and everything from the fried rice to the steak and shrimp was spot on. The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience even better.
Perfect place for a family dinner, date night, or just a fun night out with friends. Can’t wait to go back!

We ate at a booth, not hibachi this time. Our server was delightful. The margarita and old fashioned were good. We ordered bento boxes, that’s a good portion for $18.

Went for a nice dinner. Surf and turf sushi was the best thing we had. Atmosphere was highly unprofessional. Kids hanging out at the bar, booths around us we’re dirty the entire meal. Kids running around restaurant. Staff were not dressed nice. Some were in sweatpants. Staff was speaking very inappropriate the entire meal. Guest in and out the side door next to the bar the entire time. Potatoes in curry were crunchy. Drinks took forever to come out because bar tender was too busy talking to friends that were clearly not making any purchases or dining. Employees smoking out of the side door with cigarette smoke blowing directly into the building. Shrimp tempura were nothing but batter worst experience I have had.

This place was filthy. Our chef made strange race comments/ jokes, saying “an Asian told me this so you know it’s true,” and (in reference to being near the fire) “I started doing this as a white guy, come back another time and I’ll be Black,” (he was Hispanic). Also the waitress felt the need to proselytize on our receipt. Overall very uncomfortable experience.

Love it.
Seated very fast. I normally make reservations for weekends.
Come in around 6 if no reservation & get sat quickly.
Food is good, grilled steak w rice.
My favorite birthday spot.
Once they forgot my rolls but my food filled me up.

We sat in the hibachi grill room. The food was delicious. However, it took almost an hour to get a chef to cook on Monday. It was slow. Our server was not attentive at all. The chef was spectacular and did an excellent job preparing our food. The portions were large and flavorful. The restroom area is under construction or so it looks. You walk into such a beautiful restaurant, but this area looks like a storage area. The women’s needed attention. The men’s door was broken. Minus this part and the slow service it was a good night.

That was the weirdest experience I have had at a restaurant. First off, the food was great! But the service was …. just odd. The waitress had a tough time understanding what I was ordering although I used the name as it is in the menu (tuna poke), they then referred to it as a completely different name (the name of the item above it, peppered tuna) which just added to the confusion. Our food all came out as it was made which was fine but it meant that the first person was almost done eating 30 or so minutes later when the last persons rolls are being delivered. Our server never checked in on us other than to deliver food, never refilled our water, didn’t bring any utensils until we asked, never brought us napkins until we asked, we grabbed soy sauce from the table next to us because we had none. The cherry on top was the tempura ice cream I had. The ice cream itself was okay, but I was given no utensils to eat it, unless you count the chopsticks I already had. I asked for a spoon and the waitress brought out a traditional soup spoon (I would love to see how she expected me to use it) I then asked for a normal spoon which she said that they did not have one, but they had to-go spoons. So I had to use a plastic to-go spoon which wasn’t great but I would have preferred it over the soup spoon to begin with. Ironically the to-go food I also ordered didnt have any to-go silverware…

My husband brought me here for a hibachi dinner cause I’d never had hibachi. We had reservations for 7pm. When we got there just before, there was nobody at the host stand to greet us. I stood there for maybe 4 minutes before the hostess did come up, write something down while she was on the phone, and walk off with no acknowledgement of the line of people to the door. At this point my husband tracked down a waitress to check us in. We then proceeded to wait another 40 minutes until we were seated (now 7:40 on a 7pm reservation with no explanation). During this time the manager was the one checking people in at the host stand, still no hostess.
I had to use the bathroom too while we waited, and the ladies room was nasty; there was rust on the trash can, it looked like the sinks hadnt been cleaned in multiple days, and there was no toilet paper in two of the four stalls.
Finally after we got seated, again, at 7:40 on a 7pm reservation, our table was overcrowded, and we waited another few minutes with no menus and no wait staff. At this point I was upset and overstimulated by the noise and so we ended up leaving without eating.
I was very disappointed. If we return and receive better (or any) service I will update this review, but I was not happy with what was supposed to be my first hibachi experience. I know staffing problems happen, but to be ignored by the hostess and then wait another 40 minutes past our reservation time with 0 explanation was unacceptable.
