The mother is literally my favorite person from the moment I walked in and it was a whole family shop! I knew I was going to be in good hands and have really good food! Very accommodating and lovely. Also learned that we had similar paths back in Florida, and bonded over memories. Only took one picture because I finished my food before I remember to take a picture

The chef said less than a total of 10 words to everyone for the whole dinner cooking experience, food was way over cooked and didn’t taste the best. For a nicer dinning place with a show we got non of that
Meat portions were also really small

We were rushed to 'join' another table as we came in. A little disappointed. I've been to this type of restaurant before and always had a fun time. Our cook did not engage and spent the entire time watching another group of 20 something's across the room. Drinks were not refilled even after asking numerous times. Salmon and shrimp were overcooked mainly because our cook wasn't really paying attention. We watched other tables go through all the fun antics and simply did not have the same experience. Also the floor was so greasy I almost slipped a couple of times. We will probably not come back.

I came to Banzai for a lunch date with my husband a couple of months ago. The service was top notch, we felt so attended to but figured it was because we were the only people in the restaurant so the waitress has extra time to cater to us. We only ordered sushi and made a mental note to come back with our kids on a different day and order off the teppanyaki menu.
Last night we finally came back with our whole squad (5 kids) and it was so much fun! My kids all fell in love with the restaurant and are already requesting we make this the go to birthday spot. Even though this time the restaurant was actually busy, the service was still amazing. Starting with the waitresses speaking to the kids so kindly and providing different sized boosters so they could all sit comfortably at the grill table. And when the soups came out, they also brought out a bowl of ice cubes for our little ones to cool down their soups (that was a big hit for the kids). It was very thoughtful and we felt very welcome with our children there.
When the chef started cooking on the teppanyaki grill everyone was hooked by the performance. It was a mix between a comedy and art show.
The food was delicious!! And even my pickiest eater finished all his vegetables because he dared to try them after watching them get cooked in front of his eyes and thankfully the taste kept him interested and he finished his entire meal.
I highly recommend this place!! Whether it’s a quick lunch date and you’re only ordering off the sushi menu or you want to bring the whole family for a night of entertainment and laughter, you’ll feel so welcome here.

Food was great, service was great, and portions were huge! Great for a hole in the wall type feel. Cook was very friendly and made great conversation. I’d eat here again!

Very good place for a celebration! The service was top notch. Sushi was delicious and so was the hibachi. All 8 or 9 of us super satisfied and great portions. Enough for left overs the next day. Better than bennihannas and more affordable. Family owned. Support local businesses like this one.

We had a wonderful dining experience with delicious food at Banzai. We had a variety of appetizers, sushi, and their hibachi/teppanyaki griddle. They have a full bar, and their mixed drinks are tasty and potent! Everything was stellar, and their prices were more than reasonable, especially compared to the other chain restaurants in town. Wa was exceptional! She and the whole Banzai crew are truly welcoming, whether your group is large or small. I would enthusiastically recommend them for a memorable gathering or just for a nice evening out.

My family and I went to Banzai for the first time on Tuesday for my birthday and we really enjoyed it! This is a family owned and operated place and they seem to really care about their customers. Our grill chef and waitress(brother and sister) took the time to talk to us and make us feel welcome. I was even given ice cream(which was really good) as a little birthday gift and I thought that was so sweet. We will definitely be back next time we go out for hibachi!

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!
