The decor is really nice and you get the feeling of privacy despite other tables being there. It's like you're in your own little work in your booth. I love it! My only warning is that you better be ready to have a forearm workout from grilling your own food, but it's SO worth it!!! I go whenever I can!

We were in the area for the weekend over New Year's Eve. We went to a hockey game earlier in the…read moreday and were quite hungry at dinner time. We didn't want to travel too far from our hotel so we stopped in at ilovekeats. It was our first time - our server explained a few things to us and told us what was a popular order. We ordered a couple appetizers (the jalapeño/crab was awesome), a few rolls and a chasu don. The appetizers were very, very good as was the chasu don. The rolls were just okay. It was pretty quiet the night we went, I am not sure if that is because it was NYE or if it is always quiet. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. I think we would go back again when we are in the area - the appetizers were incredible.

I could tell they had just mopped and everything looked fresh and new. Once I met the person at the desk to take my order, things turned around. He was awesome. Gave me an amazing suggestion and talked about the menu. He had it made, and I watched, in about 7 minutes. Then, when I tried the food (I got the pork ramen) I realized why this place has such amazing reviews. This was delicious. I usually go to ramen & tea but now I'm going to have to alternate. This place was amazing def giving it 5 stars.

There are ten tables of four and some counter spaces also. Quite spacious. The food was tasty. The pork ramen was good, especially the way the pork was grilled.

I hate to say it, but the service was a little below what I'm used to at a Teppanyaki restaurant. Generally, you have somebody dedicated to your table kind of hovering around and seeing if they can get you anything. Here we waited a long time to get drink refills etc. The food was less flavorful than what I am used to at this type of restaurant too. The main problem is they do not use garlic butter. It's amazing what this does to the flavor profiles of all the food from the fried rice to the chicken to the steak to the vegetables. The chef was nice but was throwing shrimp around that had butter on it and got on many of our clothes... The atmosphere was completely normal for a place like this, perhaps a little more cramped than normal. People sitting around talking and enjoying watching the chefs prepare the food.... I have not tried the other big Japanese place, will be interesting to compare....

The wings were definitely the highlight! Big, juicy, slightly crispy, and cooked fresh to order. With 31 flavors to choose from, it was tough to decide, but that just means I'll have to come back and try more! The fries were hot and crispy, just the way I like them. They also offer other apps like mac and cheese bites, fried okra, and even desserts, which I'll be trying next time. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I dined in with a friend and we both ended up ordering to-go meals as well -- it was that good. There's even a private section available to rent for events like birthday parties, baby showers, or grad celebrations, which is a nice bonus. Also, very nice owners! I'll definitely be back again soon!

The portion sizes (for the price) we felt like were a little small, so that's the only reason I took a star off. The staff are great, our waitresses both times have been awesome and super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is modern and clean. They had a sign today saying they were new management.
