I celebrated my PhD this evening in this delicious restaurant. happy to tell that it was a fantastic evening and the place was definitely the reason for the strong gathering. The waiters contributed in a gorgeous manner, the cuisine was delicious and my buddies were extremely pleased. We shall absolutely return for more joyful events. thanks very much.

Always go for hibachi! Entertaining is great, food is delicious and atmosphere is lovely!

Food was good, but the environment and employees were rude. We walked in and got seated, waitress just didn't care and took orders, the other employees were eating lunch all over the place alone and away from each other. I was hoping for an exciting cook, but was disappointed that cook didn't say anything to us, but how we wanted our meat cooked. I have gone to other places where it is exciting, but the cook was dull, the waitress didn't do her job well, we would wait for drink refills, and I am so sorry that this was my husbands first time trying teppanyaki and we had to be with a mundane group of employees, i would looked for a better place for teppanyaki, this was not a good experience.

Good food, shared a table with fun people. The atmosphere/decor could use a refresh.

Went on a Saturday night with my husband. From the time we walked in, the owner, our server, the Chef.... no one ever cracked a smile. Server appeared angry to be there and barely did her job. The floors everywhere were sticky. In the women’s bathroom, two out of three stalls were loaded with toilet paper. One had no paper to use. There’s a ceiling tile that’s about to burst with multiple water stains throughout the ceiling. And the floors , once again were disgustingly sticky.

Always good food. You get a lot of food for the price.

We enjoy Makoto...it seems to be a hidden gem! Tucked back behind KFC, the restaurant is never busy. However, the food is great and the chef's are entertaining! It's a little sterile in its decor, but you know its clean! And the waitstaff is attentive. Go with a group and enjoy the hibachi!

Terrible. Service and food have been on the downward slide for too long. Never going back.

2 hour wait for dinner with a reservation. Overly salted food. When I asked for the manager on duty or person in charge no one seemed to know who that person was. When I pushed to speak to someone & expressed my disappointment in my experience I received a small discount. I will never return here.

We always enjoy a good meal at this hibachi restaurant. The meal includes a soup with salad. The salad has an orange dressing which is very good and the soup has a pepper flavor to it which is very good too. The food is cooked in front of you with a very small performance in comparison to other hibachi restaurants we visit. We ordered the hibachi filet mignon and chicken combo, the shrimp hibachi and the chicken hibachi. We celebrated a birthday which used to include playing of music and banging on drums hung in a wall but this time just the waitress sang. The staff is very friendly and this location always has quick seating with good service.

Delicious. We had hibachi and the show was great. We were able to substitute items. What a great experience for my Dad's birthday.

There was a time when this was a very nice place to go. That time has come and gone.
