Placed an online order for chicken hibachi and received a container that was upside down in my take out bag, where all the juices spilled out. Also, my order was just a plate full of chicken and barely any vegetables. Extremely disappointed as I've ordered this same thing dine-in several times before.

Table of 5. Likely was accepted fast because we didn’t realize there was a mandatory gratuity charge. Otherwise, food was great, but unfortunately the drinks (Nigiri breeze and I forgot what the other drink was) tasted like laundry detergent and dish soap. Ordered salmon poke bowl w sushi rice and thought it was nice.

Not vegetarian/vegan friendly. I had been coming to them for 13 years, never a problem. Then today, after waiting for 40 minutes to open, the servers told us they could not modify the same dishes we had been eating for the past decade. Too bad, lost 5 clients, but the good thing is we found two other great Asian restaurants on Franklin.

I’m not sure when it ends, but I scored the buy one get one sushi role. The sushi was good and our waitress was so kind. My only negative was that the music was so loud I couldn’t hear anyone without yelling.

40 minute+ wait time for sushi.
How do you forget rice on an hibachi order and then tell me it would be 20-30 minutes to get a replacement order. This is now the 4th time I’ve been wronged at the this place pretty ridiculous. Also minor note said no zucchini and still got plenty of it and little broccoli

DO NOT GET THE SUSHI. This is your last warning or else you’ll pay 18 dollars for some mediocre rolls. The best thing to get is probably the poke bowls, the drunken noodles, and the mango sticky rice. Everything else is most likely a waste of time and money including the appetizers. The service and atmosphere were pretty good though, so I do recommend it.

We ordered here as a group for work. I and 3 others had general tsos which was dry, overly cooked, soggy and tasted old. The rice was almost a consistency of mash potato. Others had sesame chicken and stated the same as above. The individual with hibachi enjoyed his entree but not the rice. It was quite disappointing.

I stopped in for lunch and had the steak hibachi with fried rice and vegetables. The food and the service were both good. The restaurant is clean and well lit.

I affectionately refer to this place as "Spicy Five." It's at best, very generously, a five out of ten. Every time I go, I have to remind myself why I don't eat here. Tonight, I sat down at the bar and the bartender promptly gave me my drink and took my order. I got my water, went to the bathroom, and then came back to see several ladies sitting at my spot, and my water was gone. The bartender looked uninterested and unconcerned, so I just moved down a couple spots and the bartender gave me a new cup and muttered something.
On to the sesame chicken, let's just say it was chewy, somewhat cold, and generally not flavor filled. Next time I have any random urging to fill my stomach and pass Spicy 9, I'll remind myself to keep driving and just go to the frozen food section of Trader Joe's.
