    I've been here twice recently, one time for Christmas Eve and this one for my son's birthday. I will say that with a lot of Hibachi restaurants you come out with your clothes smelling from the food, this place you do not which means they must have good ventilation and means I don't have to run to the washing machine when I get home. The place is very small though and pretty tight so a little less ambience than some of the bigger hibachi places. We had seats set up for us but then the girl was trying to make me sit where I couldn't talk to my family to accommodate other guests that came in after us, so I did not appreciate that. The food seems fresher and the meat is not super garlicky as I feel a lot of other places use garlic to cover the quality of the ingredients. The mushroom soup and salad to start are great. The thing I do not like here is that the shrimp comes out last, all other hibachi places do the shrimp appetizer with yum yum sauce first. Also, the vegetables come out after the meat, but I feel they should be right after the shrimp, before the meat. This last time we went we had to wait even though we had a reservation. They then rushed us through the whole meal since there were only 2 chefs working. The whole point of Hibachi is for the "show" and there really isn't a show here, not Christmas Eve nor for my son's birthday. This last visit was a little better but not what would be expected since we are paying about $50 a person for the meal/show and not with being rushed through it. Service is fine here, they don't really interact too much or ask if we want anything else, refill waters, etc, which is surprising, and don't expect super friendly waitresses.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was just a little pricey. We both had the lobster and shrimp hibachi that came with veggies, fried rice, Japanese onion soup and a small salad with ginger dressing. The salad was very fresh and was very good, as well as the onion soup. The fried rice was delicious and we each got a ton of it. There were about 7 or 8 extra large shrimp and about 7 chunks of lobster. The only problem was that it was $56 for this. Our bill for the two entrees, two drinks, tax and tip was over $150, which we think was excessive for this type of restaurant with tons of kids there, too!

    Celebrated a birthday. Great experience for the whole family of 6 people. Even Grandma enjoyed partaking in the Saki offered to her by the chef at our table. Made it a fun and comical experience for us all. The Hibachi was great whether it was the steak, shrimp, scallops or chicken ordered. 5 Stars overall.

    Hibachi experience got them steak and lobster. Steak perfect very good. The lobster was a tad overcooked, but I’ve come to expect that now everywhere I go the salad dressing and or the salad was full of water but other than that, the service was great. Everything else was great.

    The food was tasty and the chef was skilled but didn't have as much personality as many in the past.
