Went for lunch Tenpanyaki. Chef was entertaining, personalable, and humorous. Food was good and full of flavor. The fried rice was wonderful. Shrimp was amazing. Overall I would highly recommend going for lunch if you have an hour or so to spend. Definitely well worth it.

The service is extremely slow. We did not have a reservation so we waited 15 minutes to be sat, then another 15 to be greeted by the server, then more time for the chef to come to the grill. The Chef was drinking beer while cooking. I’ve never witnessed that before.

The food was okay. I liked that their veggies did not include mushrooms like many other hibachi places. Theirs included onion, broccoli, carrots and zucchini. Theirs were served crunchy. I prefer my rice and veggies cooked a little longer so they are softer.

Their hibachi dinners are served with rice. I asked if I could add noodles and they told me no.

My boyfriend asked for his steak to be prepared medium and it was served nearly well done. My lobster was also overcooked.

They don’t offer you sauces. You have to ask the chef. They don’t have yum yum sauce. I paid $1.25 for spicy mayo.

The salad was good. The dressing was sweet. The soup was disgusting and left a weird aftertaste. Nobody at the table ate their soup.

The furniture is old and dirty. The chairs are hard. They had large fans near every table which blew my hair all over. I had to ask them to turn it off.

I don’t plan to return.

At the time of posting, we (party of 2) dined here once on Saturday November 1.

We had a lot of fun! Our chef for the evening was talented and a lot of fun! Took me 3 tries but I caught that rice!!😉😂 Meet some nice folks sitting at our table, there was only 5 of us and the table I believe seats 10, I think. Anyway, the food was delicious and you can't get your food more hot of the grill!! I'm not a seafood fan, but they do offer chicken and or steak. My chicken, rice and vegies were tasty!!! First time, ever, I've eaten my veggies first!! Yum!!! If your looking for a quiet, low key spot, this is not your spot! People were loud and enjoying the heck out of themselves!! It was great!!! Gotta thank my nephew for inviting me along!

The food was really good but the service was very slow. We got our sushi roll before our drinks. The hibachi was delicious but we were there for over 2 hours and there wasn't very busy there.

The food was average. But the service was just poor. The tables were very dirty. The seats are very hard. They completely missed my wife's meal. The chef coughed in his bare hand and just continued to cook. They didn't refill drinks unless you flagged them down and asked. And the AC was broken, so we had a giant fan blowing directly on us the whole time.

So sad to see this place in the condition it's in.
No AC. Filthy. The chef seemed as if we inconvenienced him. Our waiter was great.

The smell of urine was overwhelming when we first walked it. The place needs major cleaning from top to bottom. Tables, chairs, floors, every inch of the place needs cleaning.

Love the food, but we waited over an hour past our reservation time for a table.

My low rating for service is not a reflection of the cooks! They are amazing and it's always a good time. The girl that seats everyone and takes orders is not good at all! I've been here a couple times within the last 3 months and she's slow, doesn't get any refills and dissappears all together. People from my group had to get their own refills for drinks and recently she double charged another person in my party staying she thought it was her tip!! Besides her service I love the food and the guys that cook the food are amazing!
