    When we arrived to the location we were immediately seated, but we noticed that all the seats were tightly pushed together. So we spaced them out because we were supposed to have 2 sections. The “manager” claimed that one of their hot tops was out of service so instead of letting us know that before hand, she packed us in one space. I refused to let my party be uncomfortable so after several minutes of going back and forth she accommodated my request of my original booking. My reservation was at 5:30pm, the hibachi cooks didn’t start preparing our food until almost 6:45. The food and drinks were very good. Just wish the customer service was up to par.

    Three former colleagues meeting for lunch and to catch up. I ordered Salmon tartar, very fresh and tasty. Another lady ordered hibachi salmon and she loved it. The third lady ordered a dish from the lunch menu and she enjoyed it.

    Our chef was excellent. Quick and seasoned everything perfectly!!! The rice was not over salted at all. Truly perfect food. Great crunch and shaggy dog rolls. Restrooms need updating and deep cleaning. There is an unpleasant sulfurous sewage like odor in the restrooms, entryway and main corridor near the host stand. There is obviously a plumbing issue going unresolved and this is gross. Hosts were warm and welcoming. Server was very nice but never refilled drinks (water and sodas) until we were out and literally some with dinner. I had to drink my husbands water otherwise I’d have been parched.
