The best way to describe this place is the Walmart of Japanese Steakhouses. Food temp was hot, warm, cold and raw. I asked to sit at the hibachi table but was told they don’t allow a party of one. I ordered 2 orders nigiri and told her I am deathly allergic to eel. So one of the orders I was brought was eel. She said she would correct it and I said no please just take it off my bill. She continued to argue with me and repeated she would bring the correct order. I continued to tell her no and she finally said ok. Got my hibachi and the steak was not even rare. If it had legs it would be walking around the plate. The lobster was either hot or ice cold. Just an absolute joke. I will never come back to this place.

So as a lover of Japanese food we were excited for this new place to be here. Today was probably our 3rd or 4th visit so in the past, for the most part we have been happy with our experience. Until today ! We were seated in the far back, which was unusual for the hibachi side but nevertheless we were seated. We were in a section where an employee was seated, and about halfway though our experience as we are just eating at this point, we hear him watching tv in his phone . No big deal except it seems as if he was watching x-rated tv, so as we turn to let him know we can hear his tv… he takes his hand and blows snot into his bare hands and swats it towards the floor! So visibly disgusted we reacted and request a manager comes out immediately. The waitress then says to us, oh we don’t have a manager here tonight… unknowingly to her we already spoke with and saw the owner there … so after telling her that she goes and gets the owner who see the snot on the floor and said, I will take care of your check for you. I explained I had paid already and she didn’t need to because that would be my last time there . This was done openly in front of us and 4 other guests. I was mortified! How disgusting as the employee walked directly into the kitchen after giving us a scolding look!

Came after being stonewalled by the local "hotspot" California Dreaming, this place was lifesaver. Got seated immediately, and served soon after. Even met a local there confirming this place is far ahead CD on his list.

Hibachi Chef Jordan was a riot. More comedian than your usual avg hibachi. Providing entertainment along with comfort food, he was most excellent with up to date jokes...

Then we got birthday cake and drum performance for free! My son was thrilled.

Great job guys!!!!

I had asked for 2 types of sake. Only got 1 of those. Asked for fried calamari and didn't even get it. Server even repeated everything back to me. Over all Chicken and Ribeye hibachi was actually good

I came out on October 13 2024 to celebrate my nephew‘s birthday with over 20 people. I have never been treated so bad the entire time two people watch us eat along with our waiter who kept putting his fingers in our bowl of food and he was so rude and so nasty along with the hostess we even went and talked to the manager who just only apologize that was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Even though the food was very good, I would never return to this restaurant and I don’t advise anyone else.

Roaches crawled out from my chair. The manager didn't even care to come by and address the issue. The chef really went above and beyond to make up for it.

Had a co-worker suggest this restuarant. We are really glad that he did! The food, table service & hibachi chef were wonderful. We arrived around 1130a, the restuarant was not crowded at all, but it tookna few minutes to be seated as there was no hostess at the door. We asked for the hibachi chef experience and was seated. We had another gentleman that was seated at our table and it didn't take long for the chef to arrive at our table after we received our drinks & soup.The chef was very interactive & did a great job. The waitress kept our tea glasses filled. We had the steamed gyozas as an appetizer- which was very good. Our chef-cooked hibachi chicken & fried rice was was very good & tender. The potion-size is very good as well. We had plenty for our leftover box. The best part is that the lunc prices are very, very reasonable given the large portion sizes. The hibachi chicken plates were $6.99 & the gyozas were $7. With our tea, our bill was $28 (pre-tip). My only negative for the entire experience is that there are numerous ocean and pirate paraphernalia that adorn the exterior and interior decor - as this location was previously a Joe's Crabshack restaurant. Other than the decor, we enjoyed our lunch and will return when we are back in the area.
