We eat here before we cruise. Been here 5 times. Food is awesome 5 star food! The service however… I’d give it a zero if I could. They said it was short staffed tonight and so sorry… the AC was out too. If short staffed in my restaurant everyone would be hustling. People were standing around waiting to clear tables, not helping, it was a horrible service experience and our waiter Mr man bun with the unkept beard was as high as a kite. The only guy that saved the day was our chef Andreas. We tipped him with cash and my son slipped him the special thank you handshake with a wad of cash. Will I go back? Yes I will because the food quality is top notch compared to others around the country, but expect the service to SUCK and you won’t be disappointed.

The food was mid. My steak was very good but the chicken was tough and lacked flavor. The server was terrible and had a nasty attitude. I didn’t get all my food even asking three people! Even asked the person cooking the food, he said ok and packed up then left.

Limited selection of specialty rolls. Skip the tuna tataki salad. Seemed very busy - make a reservation if possible.

This has a lot to be desired, the food is bland and no real show for the Habatchi other than a few gimmicky tricks. Wish it was better.

This place was sooooo yummy! LOVED the edamame you have to get it and the white peach sake. Shrimp was delicious and I liked the soup a lot. Our waiter was literally the sweetest man ever. So attentive and kind!! The bathrooms do be messy tho

Our Social club came here for Friendsgiving, the restaurant was slow as it would be the day before Thanksgiving. The staff's warm hospitality and attentive made tonight’s eventful. The menu is bulky 32 pages, our chef was friendly, sociable and entertaining this venue significantly enhanced our social club's Friendsgiving gathering, the essence of sharing a bountiful meal and cherishing good friendships.

Mid experience. Not bad but not amazing. I did really like the salmon wrapped scallops. The mushroom miso soup was great. The spicy tuna roll was good for a tuna roll, nothing great. I didn't really like the chicken fried rice. The sweet green tea has a slight alcohol after taste. The strawberry lemonade is great. Tasted my friend's filet mignon. It was cooked well but kinda meh. Probably wouldn't go back there except my friend really enjoys the teppanyaki experience

Worst service, I had to repeat my order 3x, food was giving to an other table, sushi was wrong, they kept charging items that didnt get served. Never coming back. Please double, quadruple check your bill.

Highly recommend if you have a party of 8-10. Service is impeccable and fast while the food is delicious. The chef was very personable and catered to kids as well.

Our server and many of the servers in the room did not put on a show.
We came to this restaurant for lunch on a Sunday right when they opened, around noon. We were the third table seated for Teppanyaki and were really looking forward to it since it was a small family gathering and a bit of a special occasion. A few of us hadn’t been to a Teppanyaki dinner in a long time, and one family member had never experienced it before, so we were excited to share that with them and enjoy the classic tableside cooking show.
Unfortunately, the experience was pretty disappointing. The chef who cooked for us seemed uninterested and barely engaged with the table. There was almost no entertainment or showmanship — he said “volcano” once, did a very minimal onion volcano, and that was basically the extent of the performance. It felt rushed and lacking in energy. I started to get the sense it might be that kind of experience because none of the other tables around us seemed to be having much of a show either.
On top of that, the overall service and attention to detail were lacking. After finishing our soups and salads, our empty plates sat in front of us for nearly 20 minutes before anyone came to clear them, which made things feel a bit neglected. The food itself was fine but didn’t make up for the dull atmosphere and lack of interaction.
For a place that’s supposed to be lively and fun, the whole meal just felt flat. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a real Teppanyaki experience — it just didn’t have the energy, entertainment, or service that make this type of dining special.

Absolutely loved it here, our waitress was so kind, very attentive, checking on us constantly to make sure we had what we needed, and our chef was so funny, we loved his laugh, energy, me and my parther are pretty antisocial but he helped guide us through the experience with good conversation skills!! We also noticed how courteous all the staff were giving us a warm welcome and a lovely farewell! Thank you guys again for giving us a beautiful experience our very first visit here!!

Passed this restaurant so many times finally came In to try it.
Honestly, my favorite was the fried rice best I've ever had 😋 10/10. My drink could have been stronger but it was refreshing! Everything was good. The service was great. Everyone was nice & accommodating with the fans for the heat, also attentive. Good serving portions. I had leftovers! 🤭
Definitely recommend! 👌
Great place for a scenic walk after dinner

Terrible. Steak was VERY over cooked, tough and inedible.!!! I'll be feeding the leftovers to my dog!! . Chicken was dry and tough!!! Chef spoke Spanish to other guests!!.The chef was not Asian and it is very RUDE RUDE RUDE MANNERS for the Chef having conversations in a foreign language in front of GUESTS!!!! If I wanted a Spanish atmosphere, I would have gone to a Mexican restaurant. Sheesh.. Then making jokes and laughing that GUESTS do not understand,, with a thick Spanish accent, I have to keep asking, what? . Could it get worse? YES!!! Then we're charged $10 for two glasses of TEA. Then charged $10 for two cups of rice. Total bill,? $140.!!!!
!!!! For over cooked, tough, inedible steak, dried out chicken, and RUDE manners. STAY CLEAR of this place.
