I've given this place 4 tries now. I rate this as a novelty and the fad will pass. (Kind of a "one and done" experience) The first time was close to grand opening so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Even though I saw the absolute DISASTER MESS that was going on in the kitchen behind the curtain,... More

Food was pretty good. We've been to hibachi grills before and the chefs just don't seem to connect sometimes. Birthday meal was 1/2 off, otherwise would've been a pricey night. Drinks were expensive, as was the food. Chef's show was just OK. Seemed to need more training to engage the table. Food was quite salty. Stir fried vegetables were just... More

We arrived with a reservation and they did not have us on the list. We were promptly seated though there were many other people waiting. We were the first seated at a hibachi grill that holds 9 or 10. A few other couples were seated with us and it made for more fun. We did get a drink order and... More

The sushi was pretty good, but the hibachi was pretty weak. The "show" was less than a minute and the food was way too salty. Don't waste your money on the hibachi...but the sushi is avg. overall the pricing doesn't fit the food.

We ate here for our anniversary. We did regular seating and the only good thing was the bar. The waitress could not speak english well and was inattentive. I ordered tempura which was very greasy and tasteless. My husband had a paradise roll which was fresh but nothing special for sushi. We thought it was priced ok, but the food... More

Heard about the place and were told we better make reservations. They said they we're booked until 7:30. Made our B day resevations for 8:00.Got there 10 minutes early and were told they were running 20 minutes behind. All 8 of us went to the bar and watched table after table get seated in front of us after checking back... More

We've eaten here twice now. The first time was at the Hibachi table and we both had the chicken and lobster combo. The chicken was good but the lobster was over salty due to too much soy sauce. Otherwise it was an enjoyable experience. Tonight we ate there again and chose to eat in the regular dining room off of... More

This restaurant specializes in two things: a hibachi-based show, and sushi, and is located in a strip mall - don't let that put you off. The show is pretty good - the staff work hard, and the cookstaff are trained pretty well. Note that there is some variability in showmanship - we've had some staff who really go the extra... More

The chef did a good show but I'd rate the food average. Had to pay extra $2 for rice.The NY steak with the combo dinner was 2-3 ounces! The portions for the chicken were generous but tasteless. Chef forgot to serve sauces and had to be reminded after everyone was half finished. The green tea tempura ice cream dessert was... More

Ate here this week, and the food was high quality. I had the miso soup and edamame for starters. Then,I ordered the Mango and shrimp sushi roll, and my husband ordered Hot lover's paradise roll. Both were good!
