If you are going to be prejudiced, please do it once I leave. I don’t recommend anyone of color to support this establishment.

I went here with my sister and her husband unplanned, not knowing that our dinner would take them to closing time. That said, we were seated promptly which was surprising on a Friday night. Just an FYI, they will not seat you until your entire party is present. Since we were a party of 3, we had other diners at our table as typical for a teppanyaki restaurant.

The atmosphere is loud and exciting. I loved it, but i can understand that it may not be for everyone. One of the staff members was going around to larger parties with a tambourine hyping them up which was fun. Teppanyaki is all about a fun and engaging dining experience, so I enjoyed all of this.

We started with come drinks. I had a katate punch which was very enjoyable. I also had a sip of the love potion #9 my sister ordered which, given a choice between them, id choose the love potion in the future. For my meal, I had the filet mignon and shrimp combo which came with an appetizer choice (I chose shrimp which essentially meant I got two extra pieces of shrimp with my meal), a house soup, a salad with ginger dressing, choice of fried or steamed rice, soba noodles, and vegetables. My plate was FULL when all was said and done. Overall a great value considering the price and the portion size. We all definitely took some leftovers home.

As I said, the staff was friendly, fun and engaging. Our chef was phenomenal. I would have appreciated it if a server came around more often for cocktail orders and refills of soft drinks, but thats really my only critique.

So went here for the first time with my mom. It's actually both of our first times. So nothing crazy happened then the person making the food that was fun. And then
When it was time to go we had someone come to us twice for drinks that's it so we found the first person to tell her for the check and she said she be back take it older woman so she takes it and was gone for ever then comes back and I was telling my mom I'll tip the guy who made the food but that's it he's the one who worked.so we was about get up and the lady came over[guess she was watching us] and saids o the tips not including and telling us what the tip amounts were and I was so shocked and stunned I said there will be no tip and she walked all fast away smh. Like I'm so sorry you have lost your mind if you think that's okay to do!!!! Will not return here!!

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants especially being waited on by RiRi (she’s the best). But now I don’t enjoy it as much since they’ve changed the food portion size. When I tried to express my concerns to the manager about the portion sizes being smaller, they didn’t allow me to speak with a manager and I was told “the price of food went up”.

Less portions and when I tried to speak with someone about it and they would not let me talk to a manager. Very rude and did not want to assist.

We were celebrating our birthdays..We were sat in n area that was too small cramped for the 2 of us..we never got our salads or refills on drinks..portions were small compared to other steakhouses n for price. The sauce they use on filet n chicken is sickenly sweet..I dont like sweet food unless it's dessert.
Atmosphere is busy..noisey..no dividers between parties.
We were given our salads at the end to take home after letting server know we never recd them with our dinner.
After leaving n going home..we had to recover...digestive system was not happy.

For a Charlottesville hibachi it was ok. Not the best I've had food wise. It was 10 of us celebrating a birthday and they did good keeping up with the drinks and food. The quality could be better. Ribeye was a little tougher than what I'm used to and they use imitation crab on their sushi so that's a no for me. Overall for a semi decent meal this place is ok

Chef was excellent, food was good as usual. When they put the sauce cups in front of us to fill them, there was a roach in one of them 🙃

Me and my family went there a couple weeks ago we at this location a lot we had a wonderful time and the food was delicious as usual but when we got done eating, we left a tip and the waitress disclosed and stoped us and said that it was not enough and was insulted when we always leave a good tip she made a point to tell us that we need to pay a certain amount. We did not get any refills or any service while we were there, we are always kind and generous and pick up our area and wipe the tables down to be respectful. She was very disrespectful and crumbled up the receipt they had the tip on it as of now we will not be going back because of this experience.
