Nice hole in the spot for a quick bite. Food has nice flavor even though its cheap ingredients. Staff is nice but slow. Sushi took a while but was tasty, though we found a piece of plastic in our food. I like that this place is open when no other sushi place is. Overall its fine but there is a reason for the average review score.

This is a no frills hole in the wall. However the food is excellent. The family that owns this Hibachi restaurant also work at it. The older gentleman is the only Ive ever seen doing the show and cooking. The lady works the register and sushi bar. They once in awhile have a younger man or woman helping. Most likely there children or grandchildren.
I order from them all the time for delivery. I go there a few times a year in person for special occasions.

I’ve had the privilege to dine at a number of hibachi restaurants and I’m sorry to report that this has got to be my least favorite ever.
Aside from the decor and service the food was a total disaster. Our clear soup had a weird taste and the salad was extremely plain. The salad dressing tasted like straight up mayonnaise.
We were also very disappointed with our entrees. Since when is fried rice just rice, egg and soy sauce? The veggies were completely tasteless and the proteins were very bland.
Don’t get me wrong the staff tried very hard but even that was lacking especially since we were the only customers in the joint. The best thing about our food was the sushi rolls.
In my opinion don’t waste your time or money here.

Katana is open until 10pm & stopped in for a late night snack! Service was friendly at the sushi bar!! The Miso was hot & full of flavor. My Christmas Tree Roll was so good, as was the Shumai appetizer! Friend enjoyed the Sashimi appetizer & chef’s Spicy Couple roll with spicy crab, seaweed salad, spicy tuna on top.
Will have to return earlier for HIBACHI!!

My fiancée wanted Chinese and we decided on hibachi. I’ve lived in Norfolk for 6y now and haven’t been to one in this city so Ghent and Katana was the closest (and also still open at 7p on a Sunday). First, the place is filthy. The walls have never been washed. Worse the surrounds of the grill have food and are full of gummy dry sauces.
The waiter confirmed I wanted fried rice three times which, for the extra $2, we got to split an egg (more to follow). Soup was standard warm and tasty. The salad was iceberg and sauce, no other veg in there.
Chef comes out and is dressed nicely so that’s a plus. He confirmed everyone’s order and got to work. His flare wasn’t flaring. He went through the moves as a necessity instead of adding pizzaz or fun antics you usually see during hibachi. He cooked the mixed veg with 4 helpings of oil (minimum) and was quite unnecessary. The rice which we all wanted fried, got two eggs and some soy. I felt like so much more could have been done with the rice. Next he put the chicken on the grill. The following part is what makes me most nervous. He was finished cooking the veg, flipped the chicken after 3m on the grille and then immediately plates us our veg. Cross contamination comes to mind and let’s hope tonight isn’t praying to the porcelain deities.
Drink went empty before I found the waiter doing side work to ask for a refill. As soon as the chef was done we were handed boxes. The other party made the comment, “guess it’s time to go?” I felt like we weren’t allowed any time to eat although it’s 8p on a Sunday and not anyone else but our four top here.
TLDR; dirty, staff tired and the food mid. Calling it one and done.

Service was good and food was well prepared. The grills are old and grimy. Place needs to be deep cleaned.

One word…..YIKES! First the staff not the friendliest. They are trying their hardest to hurry up and get your stuff done so they can sit down and watch videos on their phone. Second the food….the food yall is HORRIBLE. I’ve been to plenty of hibachis and this was not worth a penny. The soup was weird. It was clear soup but did not taste like it. None of us ate it. The salad was plain iceberg lettuce with some weird slimy pink sauce on top. Gross. Now the hibachi…..boring. They are so busy on trying to rush nothing is going on. No entertainment just hurry up and cook. The fried rice is one egg for the whole table and some soy sauce. The scallops and shrimp overcooked. The food was extremely bland. I wouldn’t recommend you spending any money here. Do yourself a favor and find a different spot.

The food was well prepared and service was fast for typical hibachi. Staff was INCREDIBLY friendly, I even forgot my purse and our waiter ran it out to our car. Great dinner!

The Hibachi experience wasn’t for me. I like my private space when I’m eating. Nevertheless the show was great and the food even better. Watching your steak and shrimp along with hibachi fried rice made on the spot was pretty cool. I would recommend.

Our food was delicious, the sushi too ! The chicken and steak wasn’t undercooked either. I always add soy sauce and yum yum sauce for even more flavor! The elderly couple was very nice and greeted me when I arrived to pick up my food.
