Ukai Hibachi Grill & Sushi Bar

They have two Spanish speaking preparers of food, so right away you know the food is not Japanese but entrees made for a gullible American palate. The nigiri and sashimi is based on the ‘chef’s’ choice. One of the nigiri I had was a shrimp with its tail on and how is one to eat it. Avoid it if you want real sushi.

Our chef was not as interactive as expected, which is usually the best part. Food is fresh and made in front of you, but everything is very expensive.

We were seated at our appointed reservation time. The server was very friendly and quick in taking our drink, appetizers and food orders. We were very disappointed that it was 25 minutes before our chef came to our grill and began cooking our food. The food was cooked well. We were disappointed that they didn't offer yum yum sauce.

Although the meat was very tender, the food lacked flavor. We were crammed in there like a can of sardines. A Friday night and only 3 of the 8 grills were being used. They could probably take a couple out and give everyone more room.
The staff was attentive and prompt with refills, etc.

The sushi is good but the hibachi was terrible. I got the Tokyo special which is beef and chicken both were dry and flavorless the fried rice and noodles was the only thing flavorfull. Oh they make great drinks to hide the bad food

Restaurant is open til 9pm, arrive at 755 and told they just sat there last table. I said you dont close til 9pm, was told they dont sit there last table 1 hour before close. It was 1 hour 5 minutes before close and if you litteraly just sat your last table and they still have to order......I still had 5 minutes before your 1 hour rule. I swear these businesses dont appreciate the business, took my money to cracker barrel who also close at 9pm and was happy to seat us!!

Super tasty hibachi, very friendly staff. My daughter with Celiac got a steak made with tamari in the back and loved it.

Read some of the reviews on here and had my reservations about the place. Decided to give it a go today for wife's Birthday. We went in at 4:pm and were the only ones in the main dining room. Sofia greeted us and got us going. She and Quan the Chef both did a great job! Food was very good. No complaints! Llive 55 miles away and will do it again sometime for sure.

The food wasn't seasoned very well at all. I had a fillet shrimp and scallops. The rice didn't taste like much same as the nuddle. Steak was amazing and shrimp and scallops were on point.
