Old work buddy and I both had heart attacks and open heart surgery went out for the first time in a long time so he took me there for a great experience and tsukiyaki. It was outstanding.

Dietary restrictions: There was a guy at our table who had shellfish allergic reactions. But it must not have been bad, because when they cook the shrimp and scallops, the steam went right at him..

So yesterday we came from Orlando to go fishing out here in St Augustine and on the way we started to get hungry, hubby wanted hibachi and I googled this amazing place popped up, at the time never knew it was amazing but after going in and eating wow! The chef Jorge yes remember his name Jorge is such an awesome and amazing person overall! The lil show he does as he is preparing the food was priceless! My children were so thrilled we have never been to a place like this. I think we have another new spot in St Augustine! Thank you ? the food as well was beyond good and delicious ☺️

The food was good and was prepared well. However, the service and atmosphere needs some work. At $40 PP, there are plenty of other hibachi places to try.

Third time dining here. First time was good. So we came back and it was so awkward. The cook didn’t say a word, didn’t interact with anyone. We thought it was just a one off. Came back tonight for the 3rd time, same cook, same experience. Hibachi chefs are supposed to be fun, energetic, and interactive. The wait stuff was extremely slow not once did they refill our drinks. But they stood in the corner hanging out the entire time. Don’t think we will be coming back here again.

Wings advertised on menu as large. Not large. Got 5 party wings for 11 dollars and they tasted like any freezer wings. Also got the bacon wrapped scallops which also says large on the menu but they were also small and fried to absolute hell. Like a hockey puck for 16 dollars. Will never go back again.

We both enjoyed our meal. We both ordered Chicken Teppanyaki Mike is an excellent server, very attentive and personable. Restaurant is clean and there was a birthday party at a table and food still came out hot and served very quickly. We are new to the locals scene here and loving it. We will be back!

Service was a little slow and they weren’t even very busy. Other than that, had a good meal. The chefs were entertaining, but sprayed a little bit too much water on the kids. Had a good time, though.

The other party at the table wanted to wait for a certain chef so we agreed to wait half hour they said he was really good. when it was finally time that he served our food, I realized that the other party was friends with the chef so their portions were double if not triple the size of ours we had rice on our plate and missing 4 shrimp
She did poopoo did email the manager but he didn’t seem to care.
