Food had way to much butter in everything. The hibachi chef also was forcing us to give him a tip from everyone at the table. Would not recommend

I will preface this review by saying that I ate there once before, and it was a fantastic experience with both our chef and the food, but it was very slow when we went, which may be the main reason for the stark differences I had each time.

We went last night on a Friday at 7pm with a party of 10, it was very busy. The bartenders were nice, and our waitress was a little rude, but understandably so, just trying to take our orders as fast as possible since they were so busy. However, our hibachi chef was the worst I have ever had at any hibachi place. It was more like he was just cooking in front of us and not a hibachi experience. He started by spraying my 4-year-old little cousin in the face with water before he introduced himself to or spoke to her at all. She was not expecting it, and it scared her, and she was scared the remainder of the time. I understand trying to tease a child, but spraying water suddenly in their face/eyes when they are not expecting it is not the move.

After he started cooking, he just cooked, with zero interaction at all or theatrics aside from the fire at the start. He unenthusiastically asked after he began if we wanted the onion tower fire, and we said yes. He proceeded to stack only 2 pieces of onions with zero effort, which was a very underwhelming experience. It felt as though we were annoying him, he showed us zero personality.

He cooked the rice and vegetables with the raw meat on the grill, and we observed the same spatula touch raw chicken that was then used to stir rice and vegetables. I don’t know enough to deem that unsafe definitely, but we observed other hibachi chefs cooking the rice, noodles, and vegetables first together before putting raw meat on, however, our chef did the noodles last and cooked raw chicken and other proteins simultaneously with our rice and vegetables. We also observed other hibachi chefs seasoning their food. Our chef never once touched his shaker. However, the food was still good, thankfully, but not nearly as good as the time I had before when it was a lot less busy.

Based on assumptions based on appearance, our chef appeared to be the youngest one there, so perhaps he is new and training, but it was a terrible experience. At the end, as he cleaned off the grill, he pointed to some cash he tucked into his cart, signaling for a tip even after giving us such a bad experience.

The only saving grace was after our meal when a man we had not interacted with yet came to check us out. He was incredibly friendly and joked around with us. He was our only truly friendly face/experience last night.

The food is good, and that man checking us out in the end was fantastic, so I may return to try it once more in the far future, but hopefully they can provide better training for their staff. For now I will stick to other hibachi places.

Fun, fun, fun.
Really, there is no downside.
I think that the best thing for me, other than the food, was I was sitting next to complete strangers that became folks that were EXCELLENT to talk to over a meal. I love the atmosphere, love the service, and love meeting new people. Nice job.
Peace and love. CR

It was to salty, the person used to much of the sauce and it was one sauce for everything , so all the food just taste the same . Very disappointed, I don’t think it’s general, I just think it’s the guy who did our food. But I would still say go and try it, the experience was great.

Great place to get shot in the face with some sake! Some good hibachi is a great perk! Dining area is definitely outdated and need some updating. Food was good and prices were good!
