This place is a bit run down. Has a slight odor when you walk in. The food was okay, however I saw a mouse scurry across the dining room floor which killed the mood. Came at 9 something on a Wednesday and I understand the staff was trying to hurry up and close by 10:30. Ate fast and asked for a to go container all before then, but our server couldn’t hide her irritation. (Ended up not mattering because the mouse made me lose my appetite.) Another table she looked after also walked over to her asking for a beer they’d ordered a beer they ordered a while ago.

One of our party was craving sushi after the American Museum of Natural History, this was a short walk and no weight for a table. The hibachi tables were screaming yelling and generally having a really fun time. It looked like. We took a quieter table for two in the back and the server was overwhelmed and inattentive, the table was jiggling and unstable, one of our drinks we ordered was not brought to the table and the veggie longevity noodles took much too long for our liking, fortunately it was absolutely delicious, so was the mushroom dumplings!!

A lively hibachi experience to celebrate our friends’ elopement day. The flames, laughter, and cheers set the tone for the night. Every flip of the spatula felt like a toast to love and friendship. The food was amazing, the energy infectious, and sharing it all together made the evening feel like a true celebration of joy.

Came here on a busy night, the hibachi tables were full so we had to be seated at a standard table which was understandable. Although it was busy there weren’t many workers there. That evening we had several issues with the service, however the food was actually decent besides the very cold vegetables. The steak was seasoned and tender, and the appetizers were delicious, which actually makes me consider going back for the hibachi tables (with hopes the service might be a little better). The waiters did bring several incorrect orders to our tables, we weren’t provided utensils either. After repeatedly attempting to get a waiters attention, he seemed to intentionally ignore us several times throughout the evening. They also forgot an extra rice, and when it was given the waiter handed the ri

I made a reservation on google and it wasn’t clear it wasn’t for hibachi. It was for a table. We waited until the kind host could get us in. Service took forever and was messy. Server gave me a Coke instead of iced tea. Couldn’t find a server to fix it. Appetizers came out after the entrees were served (it’s just soup and salad). Gratuity is included (20%) so they are not in the business of good service. Chef served me just steak even though I had ordered steak and chicken. Food was over-sauced, over-seasoned, and overall disappointing at the price point. This place obviously benefits from the swarms of UWS kids that celebrate birthdays - not their commitment to service / food.
