The sushi and service here was great. I had the bento box which came with a good selection. It appears that some renovation is being done, which would be welcomed. The resturant has a very old worn vibe.

First time at this restaurant. The place was very clean. The staff were pleasant to talk to and they all joined in to help with the menus, drinks, and food prep. My wife and I will definitely be back.

I truly love coming here as the sushi is always amazing not to mention the high quality cuts of meat for hibachi. My wife had scallops that she said were super tasty. This is a great place for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.Kid-friendliness: Staff was great and accommodating.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Sadly, time for us to find a new location for hibachi. This has been our go to place for many years, the overall experience, quality of food, and service have been going down hill consistently. Despite our friendliness and sharing that we were here for a very special occasion, the show didn’t get any better, surprisingly it got worse. It’s gotten crappier every time. So it’s a pattern. The food was also very salty. 4 simpler orders for 2 adults and 2 kids, no alcohol and we racked up $130 in blaze.

Don't bother. Expensive, poor quality food and even worse service. Food was cold when served and staff only had lame excuses. Save yourself the trouble and seek out another place for Japanese food.Very poor all the way around.

Finally! Delicious hibachi in Charlotte. The sauces were really fresh and flavorful, all the vegetables had a great taste and texture, and the meat was tender. I ordered a medium, rare, filet mignon, and it was prepared more on the rare side. I thought that fifty two dollars for one entrée with one veggie roll was pretty steep pricing for takeout. The portion size were reasonable, but not large, and hibachi includes fried rice, but not noodles. Would definitely return for the flavor, less jazzed about the pricing.
Quick service. Came here on a lunch break and received great, fast service. Staff was attentive and always available incase we needed something. Consistently great food too!

We had a reservation at 7:30 for 13 people. Chef had little personality. He put teriyaki sauce on everything even though we all ordered hibachi. When he went over our orders he said teriyaki chicken I said no hibachi chicken. We didn't know he added the teriyaki until I ate a couple pieces. It does not agree with me. We will not be back. We go to Japanese frequently, my favorite, and never had them add teriyaki. We had fun regardless.

I don't know how to express my feelings about this place ?♀️. The problem with going out to eat hungry, is that you are more likely to eat the food anyways. This place is way overpriced. But ok, let me do my thing, tell you why the stars ?. Ambiance- Saturday night, place is literally empty. We got the menu, waiter was kind of in a rush, not too friendly, whatever. Food - 3-5. : My goal was to eat sushi, but almost of all of them had cream cheese. I love cream cheese...on a slice of bread. I had the chicken and steak hibachi, it comes with rice but the rice was dry, kind of a microwave reheat flavor. The meat and veggies were good. Soup was a clear water with some flavor, for $25, please add a miso soup! Salad was iceberg lettuce with a dressing. Pro tip - There is cucumber and carrots at a low cost in the market. maybe add some? Price - 2/5- way overpriced. My fiancee and I don't care about price but we have some expectations if you are charging $30 for a Bento box. Place was clean, wait time was reasonable. Memorable? Absolutely not. We will not go back .

We've been a few times and always happy. Tonight we came on a Saturday night at 6pm for hibachi and sushi and we're sat immediately with no reservations. Sushi is so fresh and delicious. Some of the best I've had. My son actually finished his whole plate which is rare. Our hibachi chef was great, funny, and made our food perfect. The place is a hidden gem that's beautiful and clean. Def recommend.

I used to be a regular at this place; however, I stopped going several months ago. The reason, is that the restaurant is filthy and food quality has declined. I gave the hibachi another try over Christmas and the experience was worse than ever. Call the Health Department! The place was filthy. We contemplated leaving but the hibachi grill and plates were clean enough. I'll cover the service first. The service was non-existent short of taking our order and delivering the bill. I ordered the salmon to be cooked well. The hibachi chef cooked it medium rare. When I asked that he cook it through, he became combative and insisted it was cooked. I was stunned by his reaction. He took the salmon and placed it back on the grill and was pressing down on it so it would cook quickly. That's not how you cook fish. I ended up with a smashed, crumbled piece of salmon that was still raw in the middle. I didn't press it because this young man was nasty. The hibachi "chef" claimed to have over 2 years experience. Really? He also undercooked the veggies. The miso soup was a bowl of clear broth with nothing in it. I sipped it and it tasted like they forgot to rinse the soap off when they washed the bowl. The rest of my party commented that the food was less than "okay", veggies under cooked and overall, the food was under seasoned. Also, can they replace that filthy curtain that separates the dining room from the restrooms and kitchen? God knows what's growing on that thing. I won't be back for hibachi or carry out. This place needs a visit from the Health Department.
