Food was ok. The host (old guy) was rude not only to my party but the guest that was arriving as well.

Pretty much not coming back. Lettuce in Salads were turning brown. They put so much sauce on them to hide it. Salad bowls are almost half the old size. Cook was pretty good. Shrimp appetizers were not given out until all the rice and noodles were cooked and on plates. Portions were super small. The soup was barely half way filled in the bowls. Nobody in our group ordered extra rice, but had it on our order. Tiny plastic cups for shrimp sauce. $10 charge for bringing in our cake that we only blew out the candles on. Manager did note to us the cake charge beforehand. We thought it was for plates and utensils, which we didn't use. Nobody wanted to eat the cake there. My drink sat empty for half my dinner. They did bring a carafe of water, but sat empty on other side of table from me shortly after 3 refills on that side. Overall we were very unhappy. If we were not celebrating my son's Birthday I would have complained. This actually is our last time coming here. Just wanted to let others know so you don't waste your money.

Went here Sunday March 17 2024 and it wasn’t even worth it. First they sent me the correct receipt 40$ then when they brought my card back my card was charged 123$ stayed in over hour trying fix things and also charged my party with the wrongs things. They was so unorganized and then said they have to swipe my card again for the correct amount of 40$ . The manager was no help. The food wasn’t worth it . It got me and my whole party sick and it smelled like pee.they not friendly what so ever just terrible experienced won’t be going back and we should’ve went to Kobe’s they so much better

We went no reservation on a Sunday evening. Got seated around 615. Can tell they were short staffed waited until 715 for a chef. The place wasn't packed, but our waitor never asked if we needed refills until the chef left. However, he brought over refills for the other family about 4 times. The kids dropped their forks, and he has to be reminded twice to bring a new fork. I never received a refill of water after asking 3 different times.They definitely use spaghetti noodles. He was fast bringing the bill & receipt. Will not be returning.

Went for dinner tonight. Should have known not to stay there was only about 15 people in the restaurant. We had a reservation but still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. The waitress, frances wasn't worth anything either. She gives you the menu and turns around asking for a order. They bring the soup and it was weak as dish water. Salad comes after the rice was put on the plate. The rice wasn't seasoned, and was dry as old bones. The lady sitting beside us said it would be their last time. When the cook came out he turned the grill off, I think he thought it was turning it down , but when he put the onion on the grill it done nothing. The manage was an old crumpy man and rude. They need to close the doors and give it up. They used to have good food, and entertainment...it's trash now. I'll never go back.

Drove over an hour for terrible service. The cook was blah, he dropped my shrimp on the counter, slid it across the counter then picked it up and put it on my plate. The server got my drink wrong. The food was okay, just too little food for the prices they charge. Also had to sit beside a SNOB who had her nose up from the time we walked in to the time we left.

We made reservations online 2 weeks in advance. Everything went well. Extremely good presentation by chef. Food was very good for the price. Definitely will visit again.Kid-friendliness: Grandsons enjoyed it.

Our cook didn't give a show as expected or as the other cooks were. Lack luster experience, he basically cooked food and ran off. I threw up all the food 30 mins later. Ordered hibachi chicken.

Was told we would be seated immediately when we called 15 mins prior. Had to wait 20 mins when we got there. We were seated so close to each other that my wife and I felt like sardines. I had no room to even raise my arms to comfortably eat from the plate. It was SO LOUD. Sensory overload. And there were some people across from us covered in their food, in a not hey let me throw food at you and catch it hibachi style. We lost our appetite immediately and left before we even ordered. Not again
