I stopped in at 335pm and they refused me service. The lady stated that they were closed and they don't close until 4pm. Very unprofessional and I will let e eryone I know to not visit here. They need to change their times if they are closing early.

This place has a few bad reviews which made me nervous waiting for my food but once the food arrived, I was happy. I got their beef hibachi which was delicious. The meat was tender and seasoned well. It’s actually pretty good meat. It came with cabbage and rice which was perfect to go with the really well seasoned and yummy beef sauce. Would order this again! There are only two tables to sit at, decide to eat in the restaurant and there were people in and out it constantly, seems like a popular place.

I would not recommend eating here. The food was tasteless, small meat portions and the meat had large nasty fat chunks on them.

Staff not friendly at all. Ordered brisket soup, meat was all fat and gristle. Soup very bland. Not impressed.

Half of the brisket was amazing. The other half was entirely fat and gristle. With the amount of oil in the broth in addition to this, I paid $12 for for a ramen bowl that underperformed a 30 cent Maruchan. The 2 stars are because the brisket, when you did get meat, was really good. The service is fast. Just not worth $12. Try something less expensive first if you want to give them a try.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE WASTING YOUR MONEY AT THIS PLACE1. The menu that is hanging outside of the place and the menu inside of the place are different. I ordered a menu with the name from the outside menu, and a staff who got my order almost yelled at me that the name of the menu has been changed. How customers know which one is the valid menu? I suggested her to take the outside menu away, but I never expect that she is going to do it based on her attitude.2. She threw my card. I gave her my credit card that was Amex, and she threw it back to me. If they don’t accept the Amex card, she could request me to change to another card, but she literally threw the card back to me. Although that’s a basic manner even elementary school students know, her attitude was unbelievably rude and unacceptable. If the woman saw this review and wants to refute to my review, leave comment as you want.No matter the quality of the food (food was awful as well), her attitude and a basic manner to customer were out of common sense. There are so many great Asian restaurants around there. Don’t waste your money and emotion at this unqualified place. Although I gave them a one star rating, I might definitely give them a 0 star rating if possible.

I placed on order online for two separate dishes, with two separate sauces, and when the food arrived it was all poured into a single plastic bag. Because of this the food, while edible, tasted awful so I had to throw it all away. I called the restaurant, left a sharply worded message with my number asking that they call back but they never did.

The waitress was so rude and unwelcoming. Food was too much oily.

Brittany M.

Poor business ethics. Restaurant consistently out of food and hours of operation are flakey. Horrible!

So this is the closest thing I can get to a low country boil. I am from the south. Ordered here today asked for a whole pound of shrimp, told them it was my first time, they gave me a half portion, found out when I got home. When I called it seemed apparent they knew. I said I have had many of plates and this isn't anywhere near a pound. I drove back for the other half pound ordered something else and was given almost $2.00 off for my troubles(even though I had to drive back and forth 20 min each time).. Taste was eh. I tried to order onion rings they were out, no French fries, not too big of a selection. Just wish it would have been worth it.
