I have mix feelings about this place, maybe because I had high expectations from what people recommended. The food was good, our waitress was patient and helpful, the drinks were good. I think the habachi area looks a little run down. I expected it to look amazing inside and it did not live to the hype. This is why I say I have mixed feelings.

We (5 adults and a child) had reservations and were immediately seated. Lucky we did, the place filled up quickly. It was our first time here. The waitress gave us plenty of time to look at the menu. The hibachi experience was fantastic. Our chef was not Japanese, neither was the other one (appeared American), but the food they cooked was authentic. I actually ate all my vegetables because of the flavoring from the way they were cooked. Our chef interacted with the whole table, flipping the food into our mouths and providing the adults with a few squirts of Saki. The did have Japanese beer, which was served to me ice cold. The were extremely friendly to my granddaughter. They provided her with a decorative balloon to wear around her head. Plenty of parking in their lot. I would go back. I am planning on doing so.

Honestly I have such an amazing time each visit, never disappoints. Family night, girls night, or date night it’s a great place to gather with entertaining hibachi, aesthetic atmosphere, and really good food. The service is a 10/10 just make sure to make reservations ahead of time.

This review is long overdue. The sushi is always fresh, the service is consistently excellent, and the staff even remembers our usual rolls! Highly recommend — it’s our go-to spot for a reason.

Food was great, sushi was great, and the drinks were perfect. I gave a 4 star for service because our server didn't offer to get me another drink. Instead, she filled my water cup. We had to find the waitress for our check and then had to go find her again to pay.
