The host greats you with kindness as soon as you walk in, The servers are very friendly and accommodating. Wendy Is always checking in with the guest. Let’s not talk about how amazing the bartender is, his drinks are always on point. Chefs are sometimes interactive, plenty food it’s always just busy so if it’s more than 6 make a reservation.

Great people. Most hibachi places are alike. This one has a great bar, really friendly staff who have been here a long time and know how to make you happy and comfortable. I enjoyed a shrimp and scallops dinner and was too full to move.

If I can give a zero star, I would.

Right after we enter the restaurant, the air is filled with smoke - not a nice smell from the hibachi, but burnt smell! Was thinking.. uh-oh did the chef screw up and burnt the food?!

We have it a try anyway and ordered shrimp and scallops hibachi. For a $30 set, I expect to enjoy myself. Disappointment hits once food served, a chunk of burnt bean sprout on my plate. Had high hopes for the scallops (this is what I paid for right???). Scallop tasted nothing but salty! VERY VERY SALTY. Does the kitchen only has one seasoning - soy sauce?!! Shrimp is not fresh. Fried rice is tasteless.

Bathroom floor and doors are sticky!

How did this place get over 4.0 rating? Feel sad for people who thinks it’s ok to eat here

Just tried this place on a whim today. Customers seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the establishment but perhaps this place has gone so far down the catering to local taste rabbit hole or the customers just don't care about what they are eating. I kind of wish that I would have sat at a table to watch the chef cook the food to see where this place is going wrong but I won't bother. This place seems to have a customer base because the parking lot was almost full but this is not good teppanyaki. I had hope for the sushi, but the quality of fish i received was similar to establishments that offer 2:1 roll deals. The only dish I received that was within reason was the hamachi kama. The price for it was pretty standard but the size was about half the normal portion. Nice decorations, staff is nice and accommodating.
