We came here a couple years back had a fantastic time everyone was so nice and welcoming service was awesome, unfortunately this time was a little different. It felt like a very stressed atmosphere the older woman was arguing with our waitress in front of us. It took awhile for the chef to come out. Which maybe they’re short staffed. I don’t know the 'cause. But when I was paying my bill I went to the front to pay while the rest of my table was still sitting I paid with my bank card but I didn’t leave a tip from my bank card on the receipt because I was planning on leaving cash for that on the table when I left but when I handed the signed receipt back to the older lady she looked at it and said no tip! 1. That is very rude and tacky! 2. People are not obligated to leave tips 3. The tip was not for her I wanted to leave it with the chef and our waitress who did a very good job!

I come here for the food 🤤 This may be the only place that serves noodles with their plates and I appreciate that variety. I usually have left overs, and I got to enjoy them for a couple more meals. It also seems like a family restaurant, which is very different than some of their competitors. There are ways to improve, and if the restaurant is interesting in feedback I invite them to contact me 😊

I came here last night to celebrate a birthday. It's been years since I've come back to Banzai. My parents use to take me here back in the 90s and it's still owned by the same family. The nostalgia was real and the vibe inside with Japanese murals and neon lighting I was diggin it. The food was excellent and much better than the larger hibachi chain restaurants I've been to. Thank you to Mama, her daughter and son for taking good care of us last night. We will be back soon. Next time Skip the line at the other big hibachi restraunts in town and come to Banzai.

Update: 2yrs later and still amazing! #1 Sushi/Japanese food in Temecula. Their sushi salad is easily the most delicious item on their menu though every sushi roll (have tried many) are always amazing. The staff are extremely friendly, always attentive and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Love the ambience at the location which makes for a more romantic dinner spot. Pricing is spectacular in regards to portions, you always get more than what you pay for. Highly recommend to everyone and anyone. Don't miss out, you'll regret it.
Amazing food and even more amazing service!! 10/10 ✨ they were also very accommodating and happy to make adjustments for gluten free, dairy free, less oil, extra garlic, or any other preferences!

Celebrated my daughters 21 birthday and we had a party of 25 people and service was good. Shoguns would not except reservations for more then 20 guest. Family owned restaurant and prices are reasonable.
