“Our recent hibachi experience was nothing short of outstanding, thanks to an incredibly talented chef, Abe, who delivered both an unforgettable show and a mouth-watering meal. From the moment we sat down, the energy was vibrant, and our chef’s friendly personality immediately set the tone for a fantastic night. Our son especially enjoyed the show!

The chef’s performance was skillful and entertaining, captivating everyone at our table. Each trick—from the iconic onion volcano to the precise egg toss—was executed perfectly, blending impressive techniques with humor and enthusiasm. It was clear that our chef not only knew his craft but genuinely enjoyed sharing it with his guests.

As for the food, every bite was a testament to quality and attention to detail. The vegetables were crisp and flavorful, the steak and chicken were cooked to perfection, and each course was seasoned just right. Even the fried rice was a standout, rich with flavor and cooked with a perfect balance of texture.

Overall, this hibachi experience was exceptional due to our chef’s expertise, the showmanship, and the top-tier quality of the meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both great food and an engaging dining experience. Ask for Abe!!“

“Very nice experience peopwere very friendly and the environment was really nice the prices were good all that“

“They are always friendly and welcoming, and the sushi is incredible, fresh, diverse and unique.“

“I usually get a normal steamed chicken bowl and it's absolutely delicious, I've gotten other bowls and they're so full of flavor with high quality ingredients as well. It's quite a generous portion as well. The workers are really nice as well. And they have good Boba tea and some other surprisingly good drinks, I don't want to butcher the name though.

Vegetarian options: Most of their ingredients are vegetarian and they have good tofu to substitute for other things.

Wheelchair accessibility: It uses a ramp to get in the restaurant instead of stairs.“

“My husband took me there for a sushi date a couple of weeks ago, and the sushi was fantastic! We are very picky when it comes to sushi and we are massive salmon lovers, and he couldn't recommend this place to me enough on how fresh they are, and he wasn't wrong. It didn't disappoint, and the staff was very friendly. If we are ever in the area again to visit, we know where to come for sushi ??“

“Well above the typical food court service. The food combos and bento boxes are both great. First thing you’ll probably notice is when you step up to have your order taken they don’t bark something like “chicken with fried rice?” translation: hurry up dummy order something we have a lot of at the moment. Then glare at you impatiently if you want something else. These folks apparently learned this brand of “customer service” never goes over well and just say: “Hi, how are you?” And smile. How refreshing. Beyond this, the food is indeed fresh (as declared on the sign) and the cook is grilling it up right there in front of you fast (no steam table) then offers extra sauce, dig in. Surprisingly good! Thanks. You guys are good.“
