Showed up on a busy Saturday and was able to sit at the tables in the bar right away. Our server, William, was excellent! Very friendly, attentive and all around just on top of his game. The food came out quickly! Sushi was delicious and the entree was cooked to perfection.
Service is great & friendly. We went at opening time so not crowded yet but there was a couple of big parties already. There was 4 of us so it was cozy. The teriyaki chicken and hibachi chicken was ok - not enough flavor. The scallops were wonderful and tasty. The steak looked good on my sisters plate but didn't try. It is a lot of food with the fried rice and the show they put on is fun. But a nice place to go with a bunch of people for a celebration meal!
I came here with my family for my birthday celebration. They accommodated our special needs family member and the service was impeccable. I really enjoyed the flavorful assortment of food I had and appreciated the variety of choice. I got a free ice cream for my birthday and a song from the staff. Habachi shows are always the best and it was very enjoyable. I might come back here next year for my birthday. A solid choice
We prefer this place over any other Japanese grill. Prices are way better and taste is better as well. We have only eaten there maybe 10 times we usually order to go. rather have dinner at home I feel like its just better. You get both soup and salad versus other grills that only give you one.
I had dinner at this restaurant with a co-worker. The atmosphere appeals to the American sense of the image of everything Japanese including the little bridge over the koi pond at the entrance. The interior is divided into two sections, one for teppanyaki and the other a bar/dining area which includes a sushi counter. We sat in a booth in the dining area. I ordered a glass of wine. Japan is not known for their wine and none were listed on their menu so a glass of Gato Negro cabernet sauvignon from Chile was my choice. It was dry and smooth with a hint of spice. For my meal I chose the chicken panko which came with miso soup, salad, and rice. The miso soup was good but different from what I'm used to with mushrooms instead of tofu. The salad was fresh with a delicious dressing and the chicken panko was excellent. The chicken breast, beneath the lightly crunchy exterior, was very tender and the katsu sauce had great flavor to dip the pre-sliced chicken pieces. Service was superb and we were checked on by both our waitress and the manager (owner?) as we ate. Although I can't officially review the sushi since I didn't eat any, my co-worker ecstatically said it was fantastic. I really enjoyed everything about my meal here.
This place was great. Service was good..... seated promptly and waited was very attentive. The food was excellent and prepared exactly how we ordered it. The restaurant was clean and the empty plates were cleared off the table quickly. We were there for a birthday and they sang and brought out mochi ice cream! Warning..... the alcoholic drinks were potent!!!! But delicious!
