This place was alright! I would probably go back to try another variation of hibachi- but what I got tonight was nothing special. The rice and veggies were pretty bland. They definitely need the white sauce on top. I got my food to-go which I think is what most people do as there was only one table sitting inside. The eat-in seating was pretty large. The employee taking orders was pretty friendly- that was the only one I interacted with. As far as price the prices are not accurate on their website/Facebook. They are about $3 more than the picture of the menu. My hibachi cost ~$14.

Pros: My food was ready basically the the time I was done paying. The give you a large portion of protein which is really nice. This is especially rare for shrimps!

Overall this place was OK. I would probably give it another try, but definitely will not be top of mind in the future.

Teriyaki chicken box is always a go to. Always good with generous portions. I can’t speak to any other items having never gotten them, but the teriyaki is great.

Don't waste your time if you order anything other than hibachi chicken. Clearly the cooks have no idea how to cook Japanese food... Ugh

In my personal opinion, all the food is better than the Hibachi on Franklin Street and much better price. Also the white sauce is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Not sure where they get the sauce but much much better than the surround hibachi restaurants' sources
