I have frequented this restaurant for many years and I have never had a bad meal. We have always received excellent service whether it’s the dining room or the hibachi bar. The food is always excellent. And their sushi is by far some of the best in the area.Parking: If there’s not enough room in the front yard, there is a larger parking area further back behind the restaurant. We have never had any issues with parking or finding a spot.

Last time I was here a Chef got upset because we pointed out the grill wasn't cleaned that well from the previous use. He just walked out and came back a few minutes later and then fixed it. Food quality has been really hit or miss.My family and I used to love it here but it seems morale has dipped ever since covid. I don't want this place to close down like the many other businesses we've lost in recent months. I'm hoping this business can turn it around.

For the price I expected more quality wise. Service was good. Friendly and prompt. Atmosphere was a bit run down. Noticing broken scenery, décore coated in dust. Felt sad like management just doesn’t care. I recognize it’s probably not authentic Japanese but it would be nice if they served green tea in a Japanese style teapot and more traditional tea cups. Just got a coffee mug. Kinda disappointing.

The bartender was friendly and made an awesome drink. The wait staff for our table was very good as well. However, the cook and the food were terrible. There was no show, no season added to the food. He spead through the whole thing like he had someplace to be. This was the worst hibachi experience. Even our Uber driver said this place was horrible from his own experience.

We went for a kids birthday celebration. They all loved it and were very entertained. Food was great, we made a reservation and were seated on time.Kid-friendliness: It’s kid friendly. They have kids size portions of food. And high chairs if you need them.

Our chef did none of things you expect when you go to hibachi. You could tell he didn't want to be there. Got food in our drinks.

We sat at the Hibachi grill. The service was a little slow but ok because we weren't in a hurry. The food was really good and the staff was very friendly.

Nicole wasn't the most helpful waitress and didn't have the best personality/attitude. Waited 40 minutes for 3 overcooked spring rolls and after avoiding us, it felt like the waitress pushed us out the door.
