1st and Last visit!!! My friend has never been to a Japanese/hibachi restaurant and we thought it would be better to suprise her on her birthday! We called this restaurant and asked if they do offer dinner service with dessert suprise for the birthday guest and the lady’ on phone said YES!. She confirmed that they will bring a dessert for the birthday Lady and with a candle and we all sing happy birthday! Well that wasn’t the case, we got there and the atmosphere changed, when the hibachi chef was cooking and entertaining us we tried engaging and joining the fun as we all should around the table which he told us to stop and we shouldn’t hit the table as it’s wooden and will break!(it was just 4 people ) trying to engage with him. He then just cooked and didn’t engage with us after that. We

Never did a review for this place in all the years we used to go here. Came here a lot when it first opened over 10 years ago. It was such a treat to have a delicious sushi place around the corner from our house. The way the sushi used to be served was like a work of art. If I dig around I might be able to find photos of that time. Went Aug 2025 to treat myself to a solo lunch. Sushi still delicious. Good enough service. But I was sad to smell like a sour smell soon as I walked in and tables/chairs looking a bit beat up. The smell was like a back bar that hadn’t been cleaned well or something like that. I’d still come through for the good food and nostalgia. Man where did the years go? I wonder if it’s same management/owner as the beginning. I remember a real sweet/shy lady that was alway

Very nice Hibachi resturant also great sushi, highly recommend it, food is tasty, service is good. Make sure to reserve in advance if you are a big party, we were a party of 9. The parking is tight

The salmon roll was delicious, except for the California roll portion, which was cold and premade when served. Despite this minor issue, the server was incredibly kind and caring, and the service was prompt and efficient.

Was Great food, Great experience, our chef was very entertaining. The dinner experience was great. You are not living until you have a chef tossing food in your mouth. The service was a bit off. I'm not sure if they thought we couldn't afford to be there but felt a little like they were worried about us ordering to much. I mean the bill was only $265 for a group of 5. Desert was kind of challenging. I had to ask three times to finally get an order in. Then I find out if you have 5 or more people in your group you are forced to pay gratuity of 20%. I that cool I get that but they try to bury it in the check then have the regular tip line you would expect. So it's a Great way to trick your way into paying 40% gratuity. It's is not worth that for sure. They had a hard time running my card I
