Having lived in Maryland I was very disappointed in the soft shell crab. Frozen and the tempura was very undercooked!

Food was good and it was entertaining for sure. The only bad thing if you don't have a full table at the hibachi they fit people in with your group.

Stopped here randomly on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised they had a lunch menu! I got the hibachi scallop and samurai steak with fried rice (they do charge extra for fried rice versus steamed rice).Service was great, very attentive staff. Loved the hibachi grill show!

I eat here way too often, mostly for takeout, but sometimes I grab a table. They only take reservations for hibachi, so the regular tables are first come, first served. Prices are reasonable for decent portions and always tastes fresh. I mostly order the same items over and over with slight variations. The only thing that's ever been disappointing before was the miso soup. Most of the time, it's good, but once in a while, it tastes too watered down. I wouldn't take a star away for it, though, since it's few and far between. Hibachi servings are huge! When we've done that option, we had ample leftovers to bring home.

We order here all the time. Really good service and friendly. Great food and yummy sauces. I order the spicy scallop roll ALL THE TIME. It's so good. I added all the sesame seeds to my sushi in the picture.

They cook right in front of you! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. I took home leftovers and the leftovers even tasted good. It's definitely worth the price. I will DEFINITELY be going back in the future.Parking: It's a whole parking lot near IHOP I got a spot right up front.Kid-friendliness: I didn't take my kids this time but there were other kids and they do warn you when they do the fire part so you can push them away from the heat, but her eyes lit up watching the "show"

Very testy shrimp tempura roll and fresh tuna and salmon in town. But the server should careful the long beauty finger tip dipped in my soup that came with hibachi dinner meal but I am not picky person just try to be nice and give some suggestions because the servers are nice.

This is the one and only time I will EVER eat at this wanna be tepenaki restaurant. The chef was boring and trite. He sprayed me with saki because I wouldn't open my mouth like a waiting bird. The food is extremely over priced and mediocre at best. Also because we were a party of seven..we paid for ourselves we were still charged a 22% fee on top of our bill. And they had the audacity to ask for a tip.Steer clear of this lousy place. Go to the Der Wienersnitzel instead. It's in the same parking lot.

Everything was so-so to mid range. But, the menu said, at the bottom, that an 18% gratuity will be added to bill. We were actually charged 21%. Didn't calculate it til we got home. The service was really only worthy of about 10%, so...beware of this overcharge!
