Sushi is really good! Parking can get a little crazy but it's worth waiting for something.

The hibachi show was great, the dude is very entertaining. The food is AWFUL. NO flavor. Filet mignon is like the cheapest quality of filet you can get, if it is even filet. Would never recommend this place. ZERO STARS

The chef was very entertaining and friendly, the food was very good. A great place for a small group dinner.

I've been eating here for a long time. The food is great. It's a bigger restaurant now, and it's very popular, but that means the wait for even a small table is long, and it's unpleasantly noisy inside. I actually wear earplugs or noise cancelling earbuds when I dine-in there. Also, because they're so busy, the service is rushed, and the servers are overwhlemed. It's much more pleasant to get takeout curbside. Even going inside to pickup food is unpleasantly crowded and noisy. The tables and seating had also not been cleaned between diners.Parking: The parking lot is shared with other businesses. Although the lot is large, finding a spot may be a challenge.

Great service amazing sushi, very poor management. After ordering something that was very misleading in the description on the menu we sent it back after only trying one piece but still ended up paying for it -- we even spoke with the manager.

Hostess rude, server unfriendly, poor communication skills. hibachi rice undercooked-hard, shrimp raw, steak cold. Informed the server, she just walked away & brought the check. Never said any apologies or even thank you. Never offered to rectify order or get the manager.

Everything was delicious, and the hibachi show was very nice as well. We celebrated my sons 9th birthday here and him and his friends had a great time.

Nice little place with sushi bar and hibachi. Clean and average priced. Good food and rolls, good sushi. Lots of bar specials and sake options. More private rooms in the back and in a decent location. Consistent restaurant and been here for years.

It was my son's birthday and when I say our server and Chef played their roles!!!! Chef Christian aka Mr. Rice was simply amazing! By far the most entertaining his love for music kept our party rolling! The best rice and steak too! We will definitely be back!

This place is what you can call nothing less than extraordinary. From being nice, very patient and accommodating. Our hibachi Chef Cristian, hands down my favorite. Great sense of humor, good cook and you can tell he loves what he does. It was my son birthday and he made him smile and laugh the entire time. My overall experience was a 15 out of 5. Will definitely return.

Food is always great with a relaxing ambiance. The layout is extremely clustered so if you are dining with a group wait until your entire party arrives before being seated.

One of my go to sushi spots in BR. This last time was a bit frustrating, as we called earlier in the day to make a reservation (for a party of 5) and were told they don’t take reservations. Then when we show up, they asked if we had a reservation and said they had almost no available tables. They then put us on the covered patio, and as we walked through the restaurant we saw that 60% or the tables were empty. A bit weird…our server was excellent though, and our first was delicious.
