I dont understand how this place is still in business. The food is good… maybe thats why, but its Chinese food prepared in front of you. Thats why. Otherwise the place is a disaster! Why dont they invest in it. It has a good location. The sofas are so old the leather is broken. The chairs are covered by black covers but they are different chairs, one person might be lower than the other one. The bathroom is ugly and dirty and outdated. When i went it was raining and it was leaking from the roof. The place really need to have some love. Please take this review as a token of appreciation because the food is good. But my family and i will never go back until you fix it up.

38th Birthday dinner.

There was a wait but there wasn’t up to capacity. The food was great. It was very interactive. The chef was young but listened intently. My family came on a Saturday night. (6pm) only thing I would say needs improvement is the service.

Food was good and we got a bottle of the Plum Wine, recommended if you like a soft sweet wine. Only small complaint is our chef overcooked the steak.

We went for my son’s birthday. Our server was very aggressive, and not friendly at all. The chef who did our food didn’t say a word to us, he made our food and the silence was unbearable. We thought it was going to be fun since we have been here before! The waiter was a little bit upset when we asked him for chance after giving him the proper $40 tip!! This place is definitely not worth it anymore.

The chef is the best part of the show.
He cooks right in front of you and makes food with care.
He smiles and makes funny moves that make you laugh.
Drinks like margaritas and hennycoladas taste great.
It costs a bit more, but the great chef and service make it worth it.

Hibachi should be a mix of skill, entertainment, and great food—Ohana missed the mark on all three. The chef lacked basic hibachi techniques, and every single item stuck to the griddle, turning what should have been a fun experience into a frustrating spectacle. Instead of a smooth, skilled performance, we watched food burn, stick, and get scraped off over and over.

Then, mid-meal, the griddle failed completely. Instead of handling it swiftly, staff left partially cooked food sitting there while they struggled underneath the grill with lighters, trying to revive it. The restroom was also shockingly unkempt—comparable to something you’d find in an abandoned rest stop. Management attempted to rectify the situation with a $50 discount from our $500 bill, but frankly, it wasn’t enough to make up for such a poorly executed experience.

Not the place I remember. Let me start off at the valet that makes you park your own car. Then to get inside and still have to wait after we had reservations. We finally get seated and for some reason they left the gas on. It was so strong it was burning our eyes. We had to tell the waiter about the gas smell and finally they put the exhaust on. The chef and food were ok. Was very entertaining. Me and the wife order henny coladas but for some reason this place charges you for the pina colada and separate shots of henny. Never seen that before. I use to come to this place in the past and its was just a charge for the henny coladas. Anyways then we told them we was celebrating our sons birthday and they completely forgot about it. Another thing we had to remind them about. When the slice of dollar tree cake came out not even a happy birthday song. Wow never again will I celebrate anything at this place. Then they have the never to add gratuity like they service was so great. Such a let down from how I remember how good this place was.

$400 later, first of all dont bother making a reservation you still waiting. Let me start by valet doesnt park your car. when we were seated they must of turn the stove on improperly which instantly let gas out. Had to get up and call someone over to turn the fan on. The only good part was the chef he was entertaining. They forgot sodas they double charge for a henny pina colada (pina colada is separated from a henny). Theres no japarican anymore. I had to get up and request service Thats unacceptable. Last but not least, i had to wait 45 minutes for my check just to see it has 18% gratuity included. There was no sign to let us know and on top of that service was severely poor. So sad it definitely has new ownership because this was never like this years ago.

Unfortunately, Ohana does not deliver what you’d expect from a hibachi experience. The chef lacked fundamental cooking skills, struggled to control the griddle, and every single piece of food stuck and burned. The grill itself malfunctioned, and instead of a quick fix, our meal sat there unfinished while they tried to relight it manually.

The restroom situation was equally disappointing—comparable to a neglected highway gas station. A small discount was offered, but given the overall poor execution, it wasn’t nearly enough to compensate for the subpar experience. If Ohana wants to be taken seriously, they need trained chefs, functional equipment, and better maintenance across the board.
