We went there for lunch. The place was completely empty besides and handful of what appeared to be employees hanging out in a corner. The one waitress that was there didnt look very happy to see customers coming in. With a very long face she took our order. She had no knowledge of the menu. She didnt even know the basics. Ive been to many Hibachi grills before, there was no reason for us to be waiting 15minutes for a chef to come out in an empty restaurant. We got up and left. Something in my gut didnt feel right about this place. The red flag was up when the place was empty during lunch hour on a Friday. Do yourself a favor, Dont waste your time with this one.

My family & I went in for dinner. We were seated, we noticed the hostess & two gentleman just sat there in front of the tv watching the Walking Dead Marathon and one was napping. Right there in front of us! We were ignored for awhile, our server came over eventually, he was great & seemed to be the only one working. Our kids food came out b4 the cook had come over to our table. 40 minutes into being there the cook finally came out & turned out to be the guy who was sleeping on the table right across from where we were sitting! No wonder it took so long for him to come & cook for us he wad freaking napping! We will never return to this place EVER!

I had to give it a star cause IT WAS THE LEAST!! I could give. A ROACH CRAWLED OFF MY SUSHI PLATE WHEN THEY BROUGHT IT OUT. I WAS IN COMPLETE AND UTTER SHOCK I ALMOST GOT SICK EVERY WHERE. I TOLD THE WAITRESS AND SHE WAS NICE AND OFFERD MORE FOOD ,I DECLINED AND LEFT !!! 0 stars NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! I WAS SEROUSLY THINKING ABOUT TAKING LEGAL ACTION AND CALLING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE NEWS STATION I MAY SEEM OVER REACTING BUT THINK IF YOU SAW A ROACH COME OUT YOUR FOOD !

The food was good and there were plenty of leftovers. The vegetables are very firm and the rice is cooked in a LOT of oil. The antics are typical of any other hibachi. Onion volcano, oil smiley face, flying butter, high sodium, low sodium, egg toss, tossing meat into a customers mouth, etc. The price is also typical of other hibachis. $14 for kids, $20-$40 for adults. If you prefer low-fat and low-sugar, Id stick with the water, soup, salad, and hibachi chicken or hibachi shrimp.

It wasnt a bad place, but I dont think I would make an effort to go back. We went on a weekend but the place was completely empty which was a bit strange. The servers werent the best, and the owner (or someone who appeared to be the owner) smacked one of the waitresses on the butt when he didnt think anyone was looking... Not only was it very awkward to see, but she looked to be about 16. Food was pretty good though.

Not sure about the hibachi side but sushi side is awful. I left more then half the sushi on my plate in discontent. Staff was friendly but food was aweful. I eat sushi from many many other places and will never come back here again. The mai thai drink was not good at all either, and only filled the glass 75%. Tasted like cheap sugar. I also left that 50% filled. Im leaving here still hungry.

The cook was boring, did two small tricks, he didnt even ask how we wanted our steak. The steak was so hard we couldnt eat it, told server and she blew us off. She didnt even offer to discount food for all of the meat not being edible, we left it on the plate. Chicken and shrimp were not tender as past experiences. I will not return to this restaurant.

It was okay...Chef had NO personality, which is supposed to be part of the experience. His food was good. He did like to do fire fire a bit too much and seemed to be iritated when one of us didnt want teriyaki sauce. He also didnt see if we needed more sauces before leaving like at the other place we prefer.

We have our company christmas party lunch here every year. It is so wonderful that my guys actually request to go back. The staff is always friendly and the chiefs are amazing. we always have an amazing time.

Pricey like most hibachi places, but great for a treat. Husband and I even order hibachi meals out because we want the good food but dont feel like seeing the show. Always ask for extra "white sauce"!

We went with our 5 year old daughter. The staff was very nice and attentive. Our chef was entertaining and prepared the food well. The food was very good and there was a lot of it. Well be back.

Best hibachi in the area. Portions are large and prices are a little cheaper than other hibachi grills. I take the family here as much as I can. Sushi was ok, not the best but definately not bad.

Eugene Johnson

Wonderful experience! The sushi was fresh and well prepared with great presentation, Kevin the sushi chef aka the white ninja is great, very approachable and great personality! Ill be back soon.

Would have given 5 stars but, service was really slow. We had 2 wait over an hour to be served due to merchant only having two cooks. But, food was great and fairly priced

I am a hibachi fan. It is the best around. Service is always good. Chefs are as entertaining as they are skilled at cooking. Eat there every time I get a chance.
