   The service was fine. The food was below average compared to other hibachi restaurants I’ve been to/compared to other restaurants in general. I ordered a medium rare steak, it was served well done. Honestly an underwhelming experience. A few of our stomach’s felt funny after eating. I didn’t hate my experience, but I would definitely never recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will never go back.

   The overall experience was par. We had a party of 8 for a birthday celebration. Our server had forgot numerous things, including the dessert for the young birthday girl. The chef was not interactive and barely said a word to the party! In my eyes, that is part of what you pay for when dining hibachi. He also kept screwing up who got what meat, and how to prepare it. Not sure if it was his first few days or just not into doing his job. Super disappointing for what you paid for it! No need to go back there! Much better hibachi experiences around town!

   My experience there was nice but the thing is it was too noisy and too loud and the service was taking too long. We had to wait in the lobby for 10 to 15 minutes for our seat to open up.

   Just ok. Restaurant is old and kind of dingy, definitely needs some upgrades and TLC. The food was bland and somewhat tasteless. Won’t be going back.

   Our waitress may need more training . Took over 25 minutes to get our drinks , our entrees orders were screwed up. It was not a pleasant evening out .

    Went on a Sunday night. Busy, but not packed. Seated in a good amount of time, but literally facing a corner of the room, facing the bathrooms nonetheless. I feel part of the fun of that room is enjoying the entire space. Orders taken no problem, and chef came out in reasonable amount of time. Our drink order took quiet a while, and we were never given water, even asking more than once. Chef prepared the meal, but really none of the flair. Granted, at the end, he attempted the onion move, threw three shrimp tails, sort of all over the place. Rice was bought after most of our meal was eaten. I felt I had reasonable expectations, and it just sorta missed on several levels.
