Went here for a family dinner.

The food was really good, like so flavorful and provides the quintessential hibachi vibe. Really hit the spot. The prices were a little steeper than expected but that happens. It’s in the same space as a hotel, so prices make sense to be a little higher.

I also liked that they had two chefs at our table. One making the meat and one making the sides. Also, our chef, Micky, was SOOO fun. He was engaging and funny. All the other tables were pretty dead, lol.

Some notes: the floor is SOOOOO slippery. I had trouble staying in my spot. They should put some grippers on the bottom. Also, the seats are very tight. I had no room to move. Lastly, when we had JUST got our food, we were asked if we needed boxes……..I was mid fork and someone asked if I was done.

Sushi is raw fresh fish, right!
The process of freezing fresh fish is a skill that a sushi restaurant should know so well. The tuna and the salmon or tasteless, there was no taste of the ocean they came from.
Most of the menu items contained cooked fissh. Are fish that had been marinated so much that you could not taste the original fish.
It has been my experience at anything that has a hibachi grill does not sell good sushi.
The price per roll was very high and I expected quality tasting fish, that is not the case here. Enjoy the stir fry and the show instead if that's what you're into this is not where you should spend your money on sushi Laura sashimi.

Service was amazing but it was sad to hear that only 10% of the tips go to the folks providing the experience and that the servers are only provided around 7% of the total plus any additional tip when everyone works above and beyond. The establishment should pay their staff otherwise there will be low morale and lower quality food which we experienced tonight unfortunately. Overall overpriced especially when the best part of the experience was the folks who aren’t seeing the high prices we pay transferred over.

The food changed my opinion on Japanese food completely. All food tastes the same, salty and oil heavy. Will not recommend .

Definitely way more expensive than all the hibachi places I've been. The sushi was good but over priced considering most of it has Kani which is imitation crab. For roughly $30 a roll you would expect real crab but that is my assumption. The noodles had an odd flavor and wasnt impressed. Rice and veggies were ok. I had shrimp and my gf had the ny strip which the piece i tried was tough. Added 20% gratuity when it was just her and I which I found strange. Good atmosphere and friendly staff but I probably won't be back

Holy tourist trap Batman! Don’t do what I did and drive a few miles to find a better place to eat. Mall court food at caviar prices!!

We actually ended up leaving before ordering due to 2 things: prices and noise level. The music was much too loud to have normal conversation at the table. The prices are outrageous. Please look at the menu before deciding to eat here. The Godzilla roll (a common sushi roll we order at many different sushi spots) was $39.99 for an 8-piece roll. Just checked one of our frequent sushi places and the price there is $14. Most of the special rolls are at least double the prices you’d pay elsewhere. We left, went up the road and had an excellent sushi meal with 8 rolls, 1 sushi pairing, edamame, dumplings and seaweed salad for under $130.
