The seating around the grill is very tight. Try not to have a seat on a corner. If you do your plate will not be in front of you and you will have to reach around someone to access it. Overall the service and the food were excellent. The items you get that come with the meal are far greater than other restaurants of this type. Therefore the value is outstanding.

Food was pretty good. I was saying for the first time coming to his place. It was interesting seeing how it worked. The atmosphere was pretty cool. There was a bar to the right as soon as you enter that did not have anybody station there seem like the rooms in the back were having a really good time so I was sad not to be able to eat person, but The reason I did as I did was the main attendant was a bit short with me while getting the order correct. The food was indeed good. I enjoyed the side of noodles and the two shrimp that came with the batch meal. I do enjoy the fact the party is free, and that is easy to find with their signage. I will have to come again and try the food in person.

Tony was fantastic at his craft. He was our chef and unfortunately he kept getting interrupted by what I assume was his boss. Extremely unprofessional to yell at your employees in the middle of service. Not sure what it was about as they were speaking mandarin (I think), it definitely made it uncomfortable for Tony and customers. Not only did it happen once it happened twice. Do that stuff in the back but don’t embarrass your employees. Food was great, Tony was great, the manager not so much.

Great spot to go out with a crowd so you can all be entertained by chefs who are flipping things and making food for you at the same time. You have to come on time and you need the whole party to be there to get seated. There is a substantial choice of food including lobsters shrimp , chicken and beef . My favorite was shrimp . Veggies and fried rice are good too. Its and experience that lasts for an hour so don’t be late to the party and have fun! Atmosphere is fun, service is fast!

Fun hibachi restaurant. Tables are tight to each other but makes for a fun and vibrant atmosphere. Bathrooms are a little old/not the most clean. Service is always friendly and accommodating but sporadic with the hibachi service. Make sure to grab a drink or two every time you see a server or you could go a little while sans refill or drink. Come hungry and ready for memories.

We went there for a birthday party dinner. The restaurant was clean, neat. Not over crowded, and cozy. The chef was funny, entertaining, and respectful.

Wasn't sure what to expect but man my socks were blown off. This place has hands down the best tuna tataki I've ever had! Great cut but oh my god the vinaigrette was out of this world!! We tried a range of nigiri and sushi, all of it was prepared beautifully and tasted amazing. Highly recommend the grilled eel, smoked salmon, yellow fin, clam, and fish roe nigiri. We tried several rolls as well, and not a single one missed! The Firecracker roll was amazing There's tons of seating and 3 areas: one for hibachi, one for sushi, and one around the bar. We came in around 7:30 and stayed around an hour. By the time we left, the place was almost completely full!

Very entertaining chef. Filled with people having birthday parties on the weekend. My drink was a cherry lime martini and very good. My filet mignon and chicken was excellent. I had extra sauce and enjoyed it. The salad was great too but it was a little small. But then every hibachi is. Other family members had the lobster. Everything was pleasant. We spent a little more than average as it was a birthday party.
