I came here with a group of friends for a get together. The staff was very nice and the hibachi grilling of course was an impressive show! Our group was decent sized, about ten people. The service and drink refills were pretty slow even though the place had only one or maybe a second table we couldn't see occupied. There was also no one at the host stand when we arrived. Service was slow enough to a point where some of our party were joking that it was because we were large enough that a gratuity was already included. I understand staffing can be an issue but when drink refills pretty much never happen because the wait staff doesn't come back it's an issue. The four rather than five stars however is for the cross contamination issue. It's all cooked on the hibachi and we had some people ordering vegetarian and despite it being mentioned there was no effort to keep their food separate on the grill. So beware if you have dietary restrictions where this would be a problem. The portions are decent sized and the food is good, so still worth a try if that's not you!

My wife and I went here today and both got sushi. I got the Kraken roll and my wife got the Crunchyroll. We split the California roll. Overall the experience was spectacular. The service was prompt. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Came here for a birthday party with 12 people and waited a bit but to be expected. Staff is very friendly and the place is clean for the most part. Main floor was sticky as you walk across it which was a concern but that aside, the staff was great! The food was good and my wife and I split the main course and still had some left over. Try the warm and cold saki!! Very good! The place is dated and needs some updating. There are obvious areas that are not used and can be seen by patrons. Just being nit-picky.

We ordered sushi and sake! The rolls were delicious and filling. The yellowtail sashimi honestly tasted old and I can't believe they served it. The ikura was delicious. . The service was great and fast. The ambiance was okay and quiet.

Service: the service was absolutely amazing!! We had a server that was like no other! He was attentive and just all around fantastic. Cups were never empty, dirty dishes were picked up immediately, and his personality was phenomenal. Jack was our server, and Jose was our chef. The chef was fun and professional. The food came out great! Food: we ordered the kracken sushi roll as an appetizer. This was the best roll I think I have ever had! Just everything about it was perfect, the hubby and kiddo loved it too! I thought about taking a picture of it after it was already gone! Sorry! Then we had the soup and salad, which was alright, I didn't love the dressing on the salad, but that was just me. The Teppan was a fantastic show and was cooked properly. We ordered a shrimp, chicken, and steak plate. They were all great, and quality meat was used. Lastly we had the fried ice cream and HOLY COW this was delicious! All three of us were able to share the dessert. We will for sure return, the atmosphere and service was great on its own, but the food was also phenomenal. Overall they made my birthday dinner amazing!! Thank you!!

It's been a minute since I've been at a hibachi grill restaurant. After Covid I find it a very rare occasion due to my busy schedule these days. An old friend wanted to hang out so we decided to come here. It was my first time here so I wasn't sure it was a hibachi until I walked in. The staff were very friendly and prompt. Me and my friend were seated at a grill within minutes and didn't have to wait long. There was a couple that was seated by us and I guess they were offended that we got the seats toward the front of the grill. All I know is they sat down for a couple minutes and then got up told the waiter something and walked off. We didn't see them again. Anyways the chef arrived and prepared our meal. He did an excellent job. My only complaint would be the fried rice could've used a little more seasoning and maybe one more egg. He only used two to prepare it for 4 people as 2 more people were seated with us after that couple left. I tried some of the sushi and egg rolls. My friend tried the calamari. Overall it was pleasant experience and when I find myself in the area I'll gladly return!

Excellent food and really nice service. We walked in on Valentine's Day with no reservations and they still worked us in! The sushi was excellent! Can't wait to come back and try the teppanyaki.
