Good place for hibachi. Food was good, selection is good. Really liked the shrimp, they are big and flavorful. Sushi was ok. Only complaint is service was slow. Still worth it.

Located in a strip mall. Inside was deceiving, very nice. We had the hibachi steak and shrimp and it was good. It was a fun time. We will return.

I had lunch here today on Christmas Day Dec 2023. The staff was so friendly and efficient. I had the tempura shrimp, and it was the BEST I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, and perfectly done inside. I also loved the decor.

I have eaten at some excellent Japanese restaurants. This is not one of them. For starters it's very very cold in the restaurants. I was shivering and had to wear my winter coat all through dinner. The sushi was ok nothing special. We also got the goyza which was also ok if not a little small. The soup was earthy while not my favorite I could see why others love it. The salad dressing was thick and chunky. It also tasted off. Now for our chef. He must have been new and nervous because he kept dropping things and smiling like please don't see that which is fine. What wasn't fine is instead of doing the egg toss or shrimp toss he tossed the raw vegetables at us. They were still cold! I also thought he was going to catch himself on fire. The lighter wouldn't light so he kept pouring the lighter fluid. He also did the same thing with the onion volcano. When he went to cook the eggs for the rice he dropped an egg on the floor and left the egg white on the floor. It was still there when we left. He also got egg shell in to my rice. The food tasted like garlic that was it just like I was eating a head of garlic. The filet mignon was well done not medium rare like we had ordered. The shrimp was also over cooked. The meat was on before the rice and the last to be taken off. He put butter on the steak but just left it on top the raw steak. He then a few minutes later took some butter off of the steak to put on the shrimp. Nothing tasted fresh here. Some good things, service was very quick and they were all very nice. There was a super soak gun full of sake that was squrited into our months at the end which was fun. The place is very very clean. We really wanted to like this place but unfortunately we will not be returning because we felt our meal quality was not up to our 80 dollar bill.

EXPENSIVE for what you get. Chicken fried rice is a plate of fried rice with a few small pieces of chicken & a couple pieces of egg. $9.95. I make better fried rice with a lot more ingredients for that price.

My son and I went for lunch and liked it so much we had his wedding party there. There was a bit of a wait (we had a group of 20) but the food was awesome delicious and the hibachi grill server made us all laugh with the saki squirting

To be a five it must have it all exceptional food, exceptional showmanship, exceptional service.

To be a four at least two of the three need to be exceptional.

Simply put to be a three is a serviceable meal.

Out of a dozen possible tropes such as fire, volcano, knife work, spatula flipping, food tossing, egg flipping we got a total of two. So there went showmanship out the window. FRried rice is more than rice and an egg cut up in it. So there went the food.

Do not even ask about the salad.

The protein portions are small. The soda prices are high.

Bottom line is $60 for 1 NY STRIP and scallops, and 1 chicken and steak with such small portions is not good.

Wow. So much good food for $30/person. Cooked fresh in front of you. Salad soup included. Started with pot stickers and a Lebanon Roll of sushi. Then loved the steak scallops (big ones) and chicken hibachi with vegetable rice! Great for birthdays! They have a unique surprise + dessert for the bday person.

Food and service were both very good. We had a party of 6, and we all enjoyed our dinners. We did not do the hibachi tables, but they looked very fun. Atmosphere was clean, but not like anniversary-dinner nice.

I went a month ago. The food was the best, the employees are friendly, I enjoyed the food and ordered shrimp and roast and a soup the best Japanese food I have ever had.

Really great cocktails! Shrimp tempura, rock shrimp, gyoza and crab Rangoon all great options. Everyone enjoyed their sushi. Black diamond and shrimp tempura rolls were delicious! Much larger than expected for the money! All the hibachi combinations were were extremely well prepared. Filet chicken and all the seafood were amazing. Both the fried rice and the noodles were really good as well!

Sat us with our backs to a large party celebrating a birthday at lunch time. They put on quite a show for the other hibachi table. When they came over to our hibachi to cook for the two of us (we had not shared we were there to celebrate ourselves), they simply cooked our food on our hibachi with absolutely no showmanship at all. It was very disappointing. Do not go there as a couple wishing to celebrate a special occasion because they do not go out of their way to make it special for you unless you are with a large group. The food was good. No complaints there. It simply lacked the kind of show we have experienced at other hibachi restaurants. No Volcano. No knife showmanship. No tricks. No trying to flip a piece of shrimp for you to catch in your mouth. Nothing the least bit fancy or entertaining. We simply watched them stir fry our meal in front of us in the way you might stir fry a meal in your own kitchen when no one was there to impress. Our own hibachi chef either had no skills to show off or he decided that it wasn't worth the effort to put on a show for only two people. Either way, I would not go back there as a couple to celebrate something because they won't bother to put on a show for you! Don't they realize that's why you go there in the first place? We had even ordered appetizers, so it definitely wasn't because we weren't spending enough as a couple.

Honestly, five stars isn’t enough! Super fast and friendly service, everything is very clean and our meals were phenomenal. Perfectly cooked shrimp, scallops and veg phenomenal food at can’t beat prices, truly this place is a (not so) hidden gem!

I don't normally visit steakhouses as a Buddhist vegetarian, but I had to wait 2 hours for my car to charge. It's a super pretty place. The food was well prepared and seemed pretty fresh.

I visited again at the end of the weekend. I had the Mango Mochi for dessert! It was better than my ex's!
