We have been here a number of times and I believe they have improved a lot based on our last visit. The hibachi was so good especially the seafood combos with scallops and salmon. Should have ordered filet mignon instead of the regular steak as some cuts were gooey hard. The pork katsu was the best my kids have tasted according to them. Crispy fresh on the outside and soft and juicy inside. The fried ice cream too was the best!

First time trying, fair prices and good sushi deals. Got the broccoli in garlic sauce and it was just brocoli and jarlic tasted pretty terrible but the sushi made up for it. My friend and I had a great dinner but our waitress seemed to be annoyed with us. And then once we were ready to pay and tip the check took forever to come. So we were talking and once it came we kept talking for maybe 5 more minutes before our waitress begins looking straight at us in a creepy way I immediately told my friend thats our queue to leave but I was quite surprised since the restaurant has maybe two other tables, empty for the most part and she was death staring us AFTER we tipped 18%. Which we were being generous. I liked it but will not be coming back.

**Edited to reply back to owners comment on my original review, which is completely unacceptable - IT WAS NOT BUSY AT ALL. There was ONE party leaving the first hibachi station when we arrived. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM. The lady seating asked if we wanted to sit at the first station or the second. I responded "whatever is easier for you". She SAT US AT THE 2ND HIBACHI STATION. I personally told the chef that the flavor was VERY OFF and specifically told him that taco seasoning does not belong on Hibachi food. I ate 2 bites of my meal and THREW IT UP in the bathroom. As mentioned already, the mini heater that you placed nearby, was NOT putting out ANY heat. Had the waitress told us that the other hibachi station would have been warmer, we would have moved. We mentioned how cold we

I have been enjoying the food here for quite some time, between delivery and in person dining. Every meal has been amazing, every in person visit was fun. Until tonight. We came in without a reservation and asked for hibachi. We were not initially informed of any wait, just that a little party was coming that would sit at the other open chairs, and were seated. After we ordered drinks we were told that suddenly the hibachi area will take an HOUR for us to get food. While annoying, we moved tables because we were hungry and had our five year old with us. She was quite bummed as she wanted to see the show. A waitress tried to comfort our daughter by saying she can watch another table’s dinner, or the tv. Immediately our drinks were wrong. But the real kicker was when two other groups came

I went here the other night for dinner with my wife. We've been a few times over the past year. We ordered 3 sushi rolls, a few hand rolls, general tsos chicken and a side of hibachi noodles. As always, everything was very good and tasted fresh. For the price, the sushi is very good, especially compared to some other places that charge close to double for similar rolls. My only minor issue is that they charged an extra $2 for a small side of Sriracha sauce we used for the hand rolls, but they did let us know before and we agreed, so it wasn't a blind side or anything. Overall, everything was great and we'll be back again!
