I must say I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. We attended for my nieces birthday, she is a giant fan and except for a town full of our trusty blackstones, it’s almost 4 hours away to find one. We were greeted properly by the hostess who was very friendly. Our server and JP (ask for him) our amazing chef outdid themselves making this experience so much fun. Part of coming to a restaurant like this is the interaction with the employees and all of our needs were met. The restaurant is large, well appointed and exceptionally clean, a great place for small & large gatherings. While I would give five stars for both of these things, the food was the icing on the cake. I traded my miso soup to the birthday girl for her salad, she loved it and ate both bowls. The salad was light and refreshing with a flavorful mayonnaise based dressing, I didn’t even notice it wasn’t a sesame based. Large selection of Sake and mixed drinks all at a great price. There were no complaints from any of us on the main course. Large portions are standard, I tried everything but my favorite was the filet. Shrimp, Scallops and New York was awesome too. I definitely will be back.

Enjoyed the hibachi dinner with a friend. Fresh meat and veggies cooked to our order live on the grill. Chef was playful and entertaining.

I'm here at a quiet time in the early Saturday afternoon. Service was immediate and polite, food is clean and tasty. Waitress was informative about gluten and dairy free options. Chilled sake really takes the burn out of missing my bus. Also fun to hear Billy Joel music.

Overall had a horrible experience here. We came after my niece and nephew graduated. The food was way below average. The server seemed as if she wasn’t interested in her job. The manager was rude after we were the ones with the horrible experience. We ordered chicken and shrimp hibachi combos with fried rice and it came with soup and salad. This was before the hibachi experience was happening since we arrived as soon as they opened. The soup is usually my favorite part but this soup was nasty and it didn’t smell pleasant; I’m not sure if it was the dishes or the soup but it doesn’t matter considering the restaurant didn’t smell the best. I’m in no way being biased about this it smelled somewhat like a dirty wet mop. The fried rice was way over seasoned overly salted and peppered. The chicken was a straight disappointment, along with the shrimp and we all spit it out. When we told the manager she caught an attitude and took all of our plates. She proceeded to hand us a check for a salad, a rice, and the tenders my nephew had. I feel as though at least the rice should’ve been compensated considering we already had a horrible experience. The manager got increasingly rude asking about the second half of the payment more than once and circling the table more than I can count while glaring at us. Before we left we decided to use their restroom and was met with a roach. Overall a horrible experience and I’d never recommend this place.

This place is pretty special to me. It's a spot my family goes to for special occasions, and they always deliver!

The chefs are always extremely nice and they cater to any problems you might have food wise, if it's an allergy or you simply just don't like onions, they got you covered ?

The staff is always very helpful and friendly as well. They always give good recommendations if you don't quite know what you'd like to eat!

The food in my experience is ALWAYS to DIE FOR and I think it's completely worth the price point.

I took my first date to this place and the atmosphere was perfect ? we got a bottle of Sake and it was ssooooo good!

I would recommend anyone dine here. It's always good times no matter the occasion ?

Parking: There's an over abundance of parking all over the area for the restaurant, so on the off chance there's no spots right in front the of place, there's always a spot to park and walk over generally very close.

Kid-friendliness: The staff are great with kids and the chefs usually have some sort of tricks or jokes that will make them laugh to!

Wheelchair accessibility: My disabled sister is able to move freely anywhere she needs to within the restaurant and she fits at every table and hibachi grill there.

Food was fantastic! Good service. Slower night, slightly awkward eating in silence. Definitely recommend for a fancy dinner night out.

Hubby, toddler, and I went for the first time. The chef was very engaging and fun to see. However food was okay. Chicken was overcooked and dry and rice was heavily salted. It was definitely a fun experience. I just wish our food hadn't been so salty lol. Sushi was phenomenal!!!! When we went it was a empty which was nice. The chef was very engaged with our toddler which she absolutely loved. It's a decently priced place. Along with our sushi, 2 hibachi dinners, and one kids hibachi dinner we spent a little over 100. For it being so empty it would have been nice if our waitress had come by a bit more often for drink refills.

Came on Sunday 2/25 afternoon around 3 PM. Restaurant was dead with only 2 other tables, one finished right after we got sat. Just one server& one sushi chefTook 10 minutes to get a drink order in (2 waters, 1 hot tea), then 10 more minutes to get them. Ordered gyoza, edamame, orange blossom roll, Chico roll deep fried, and a spicy scallop hand roll.The gyoza were really good, edamame were extremely salty but still good.The orange blossom roll was bland and tasteless even though it said it had spicy tuna in it.Spicy scallop hand roll was mostly sushi rice, cucumber, tobiko and mayonnaise and had no flavor at all. Was not spicy in the slightest.Ordered some to-go food nearing the end of our meal, had to wait an extra 20-25 minutes for it. (A side of teriyaki chicken, a monster roll, and edamame.)Had to keep asking the server for the same things multiple times. Never got refills of water, took about 30-35 minutes after ordering to get the food. She was nice, but not very attentive and didn’t seem to really care.By the time we left, it had been over an hour since being initially sat and the ONE other couple that came in after us got their food, ate it, and left before we got our to-go order.The bill was over $100 for some of the wackest sushi I’ve ever had.Would not recommend this place to anybody. If you want quality sushi and basic service, probably best to look elsewhere.

Food isn't great...Eel and Tako is awesome but mom had steamed rice and she tasted dirt or mildew (mold) in the rice...she almost got sick to her stomach. Little new york steak was a joke, very little portions...very expensive place for terrible food!! Waitresses are awesome and very understanding!! Also the chef wasn't into cooking for us, like he was tired or he didn't want to be there...not entertaining....won't be back!!

Come here on valentines day and had a bit of a wait. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive to our table. Overall, the food was delicious and came faster than expected. Expect to spend quite a bit of money as well.
