    Great food, but not worth the cost of what you’ll spend. Find another place to eat.

    Great service and food. Very crowded but it was New Year's Eve. Staff stayed pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend as an alternative to SF Benihana. Valet parking is a bonus.

    The wait is too long. Our reservation was for 6pm, we did not get seated until 645. Wait area is too small, too crowded. Granted it New Year’s Eve, they should plan tables turn over more timely. 45 minutes wait with reservation is not acceptable.

    Perfect restaurant for all ages. Brought grandkids ages 3 and under and they were thoroughly entertained by the chef and enjoyed the food as much as the adults in our party. Happy New Year!

    Busy being NYE which is the reason we choose an early dinner. Our waiter was nice but wrote the wrong order. Our chef was ok - not enthused as others but also gave us the wrong steak. Seemed rush and by halfway through the coming, definitely was more busy. This time was just ok

    Family got scallops, beef, and a mixed seafood plate... All enjoyed... The salmon was just okay, 3 skinny asparagus were pretty woody, and the udon noodles were hella salty. Not impressed and expected better for the price.
