Horrible, would not recommend. They dropped my credit card on the floor, couldn't find it for 20 minutes, and instead of verifying that they got the right receipt they charged me the wrong amount and made me pay for someone else's meal that costed me. They didn't provide me a receipt and charged me over the original amount by a sizable portion. They promised me they would fix it but they let the charge go through weirdly. Very weird way to get taken advantage of.

At a hibachi place I expect the rice to be cooked through at a minimum. Our rice was hard in the middle. I got the steak and shrimp, all of the ingredients were of low quality. I would rather get 1/3 of the portion of the food for a better quality and tasting meal. It was disappointing to leave a plate full of food but still feeling hungry because I could not bring myself to eat what was served.

To be fair for a Saturday night we didn’t have to wait long for a table for 8 people. However the food isn’t fresh at all. I had the shogun dinner which is a combination of steak, chicken and supposedly jumbo shrimp. I say supposedly because the shrimp definitely wasn’t fresh and after the cook finished preparing it. It definitely did not have the texture that shrimp normally have. This shrimp was overly soft and frail looking. I think it’s the poor quality of food. The grill had food particles embedded in edge where the grill and table connect. Very unpleasant sight to see. The cleanliness was subpar. I used the ladies restroom and the water pressure from the faucet was very low and the water trickled from out not even a pencil width. I hope the employees had a decent working sink in the kitchen, because in the bathroom there no way to efficiently and effectively clean your hands without the right amount of water pressure. The waitress was on point she took care of our needs, I definitely appreciate that. With all of that said, I won’t be coming back.

This place is not good. All the food tasted like soy sauce. Even the ginger sauce tasted like soy sauce. Obviously all the reviewers on here have never tasted authentic hibachi. Kurama stop doing quantity over quality.

Portions were good and staff was not rude. 2 stars.

We had a great time with my friends here. It's very entertaining and that's what you came for entertainment... because the foods are too expensive just to be so so.

Horribly racist. Other people got food served immediately. We waited for 30 minutes and still no chef assigned. They wanted to wait until table is full to even begin— we waited 30 minutes for 2 different parties to come and order their food

This was some of the most bland hibachi I have ever had. The "show" was mediocre. We had very little interaction. He just cooked and then did an onion volcano at the very end. The people were very kind, and the vibe was fun.
