Our reservation was 7 pm Friday March 10th. We got there at 7 pm and ordered sushi while we waited for the rest of our party. They got the sushi order wrong and it tasted sour. The rest of our party arrived at 715. Seems there was only one waiter. He did not come and take our order or bring drinks until 830. I complained and he said everyone has to wait and walked away. At 845 our order was taken. The chef was not Japanese nor Asian. A Hispanic guy who was nice enough but no usual hiabachi tricks or show. Everything he cooked tasted like soy sauce and burned. Including the fried rise. They charged us for things we did not order. Then they included an 18 % gratuity on the bill the items we didnt order and the tax. Will never go back agian. Worse then Hido

Tekka maki, a fairly basic sushi roll, was somewhat bland. A tuna roll isnt supposed to be exceptionally flavorful, but it should have a taste. The gyoza is not worth the attempt. Both the dumpling itself and the dipping sauce are both unappetizing, together or separate. This restaurant used to be called Hido, which was a good place to eat that went quickly downhill. I wonder if they just changed the name as the quality hasnt improved. I cant speak on the hibachi portion of the restaurant. This is a place to get sushi, but you might as well cross the highway and get equally good sushi as part of a buffet rather than spend more money here.

The food was good but we were unimpressed with the service and presentation. Ordered sprite and received plain soda water. Ordered two kids shrimp hibachis and they received chicken. We ordered all veggies no rice for the adults and then had to tell the chef when he arrived, then he didnt make fried rice for the kids even though when we told him that they wanted rice and he confirmed. Chef gave a very rushed presentation even though the entire place was completely empty. The waiter was nice enough to bring my daughter a brownie and sing her happy birthday and the food tasted good so that earned them 3 stars. We wont be returning.

Fresh and Delicious! I ordered the Dragon Maki, Salmon Sushi, and Ikura W/quail eggs. All Delicious, served quickly and with good service. Its a quiet place mostly in the sushi bar area, and more lively in the hibachi area, as to be expected. A couple of TVs if you want to watch the game also. Family friendly, but would also be good for a date or business meeting . Also has a more private closed off area for special group parties.

We just found our new Japanese Steakhouse spot. The service was excellent and our chef was entertaining and skilled. There werent many patrons tonight (Monday) and I appreciate the fact that they didnt make us wait for an additional party. Our hibachi steak & scallops as well as the shrimp was cooked to perfection and our New York Maki was great. We will definitely be coming back.

The service was absolutely terrible. Not only our server miss an entree and ignore us for long stretches, but the owner/manager was entirely un-helpful regarding our wait. We ultimately left rather than wait any longer. Additionally, my tempura included a ball of undercooked batter. The most disappointing dinner experience I have had in a very long time.

The sushi was good. Not happy with the service. My wife has an intolerance to avocado and asked questions about the menu but was told " descriptions are in the menu". Then we ordered food without aback in the description, but it came with avocado. We asked the waitress and her response was " why didnt you just ask".

Went there for lunch. Arrived at 2:20 but they wouldnt seat me because they quit serving at 2:30. If they have a time they quit serving shouldnt that be when they state lunch is over???!!! I never was turned away when it was Hido. If they dont change their business model I dont see them making it.

Walked in at 8:50 pm, walked out at 9:00pm. Hostess wasnt very helpful about describing what hibachi was. Then waiter said the kitchen closes in 10 mins and went on to tell us the place closed at 9:15. The sign out front says open for dinner to 10:00pm.

Food is ok, we usually try different sushi every time we go. Prices are a bit higher. Customer service is good and the environment is very quiet, you can actually hold a conversation with someone without having to scream over the music.

Great service and super delicious food. I did the chicken bento box that let me sample teriyaki chicken, sushi, egg rolls, vegetables, and fried rice. Everything was great. Defintely coming back here for lunch.

Very skilled hibachi chefs and good quality food. Hibachi tends to be a bit on the pricy side, but this location isnt higher than you might expect. The sushi and appetizers Ive tried have also been excellent.

Went on a Sunday evening, no wait to be seated, not crowded. Hibachi and sushi was great. Friendly staff filled our drinks frequently. Prices are good. This place is a hidden gem. Will go back.

Food was great, service was attentive and never was low on drinks. Went in at 6pm on a Saturday and wasnt packed. Chef was very social and funny, kids had a blast. Will most definitely return.
