The only 2 problems with the tables and service is that the seats are a little too close together, and the waitresses that bring drinks and appetizers speak half English and not very friendly. My Aunts order Hibachi dishes and me Sushi. The Sushi was fantastic and very well prepared, my Aunts enjoyed their dishes. Overall, very good. 8/10

I got a to go order from here as I was headed into work. I ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi…read more There was a ton of chicken, but only two, maybe three shrimp. The food was ok, but definitely not the best I've ever had. In fairness by the time I got to eat my food it had cooled off some, but still didn't have the flavor I've gotten from other hibachi restaurants. The restaurant seemed to be outdated, but I only went into the front by the door and register. The service was good and staff were friendly. My meal cost $17.76 without a drink or tip. I'm still on the fence on if I'd return.

I was really craving udon, and it's hard to find -- but I discovered this spot on Door Dash and…read morethought I'd give it a shot. I ordered the Kake Udon for me and two orders of steamed gyoza for my kiddo. I gotta say, I was surprised when the order arrived. The udon noodles were paper thin compared to what I'm used to. The fried tofu was so hard it was basically inedible, and the broth - well, it had little to no flavor. To top it off, my kiddo took a bite of one dumpling and then spit it out. This child DESTROYS dumplings, so I asked him what happened -- he said "who puts corn and carrots in a gyoza dumpling?!?" and I can't say I disagree with him. Pork and cabbage filling - duh! Overall, totally not our jam and we probably won't revisit it. I guess the reviews are based more on folks who haven't experienced true Japanese cooking? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure my Japanese host mother would have given it no stars.

The atmosphere was so cute and adorable on theme with ramen and sushi. The service was very quick and nice.

There were a lot of different options on the menu. I opted for the yummy bowl where you get in line and pick your own ingredients, seasonings and sauces and the hibachi cooks make it and it is delivered to your table hot n fresh. It was so good! One thing to note is they do have signage that says if your bowl ends up needing a second bowl you will be charged the all you can eat price. That is why my bowl is a little skimp but I definitely could have added more things and been good!

This is such a fun concept, well executed. Build your own hibachi!…read more My friend was on the hunt for an eatery that provides meat for her (omnivore) but also a satisfying plant-based meal for me (vegan). She found the perfect place. How it works: Guests are seated, given a card to denote table number, name, rice preferences and special instructions, if any. Order drinks at the table. The server gives each person a bowl which you then go and fill with raw ingredients, buffet style. Your bowl, card and sauces are left on a tray. Once grilled by the hibachi chefs, the food is put on a bed of rice and returned to you steaming hot and delicious. Pricing: Regular dinner bowls are $15. For $5 more, you can convert your order to "all you can eat" and repeat the process, as my friend did. Fountain drinks are automatically bottomless. This was a really fun way to enjoy dinner with my friend. I would love to come back with her again sometime. My only criticism is, despite the appearance of the raw food being bright and fresh, the texture and taste gave the impression that much of the produce I had in my bowl was from frozen. And although the price was quite reasonable for a filling dinner meal, it always feels strange to me to pay the same amount for vegetables as someone loading up on shrimp/ squid/ beef/ chicken, etc. I wish there was a discount when forgoing animal remains. YES: Vegan friendly YES: Family friendly

The atmosphere: It's a small restaurant best suited for small groups, though there are a few tables that can accommodate larger parties. You order at the cashier and they bring the food to your table. There's also a self-serve drink station, and they provide free water cups that you can refill. The food: We started with the takoyaki and chicken karaage. The takoyaki was good, but fairly standard. The chicken karaage portion was generous, and the pieces were large. The coating was lighter than what I'm used to, which kept the chicken juicy, but it did make it a bit oily. I also wished there was more seasoning in the chicken or batter since I ended up relying on the spicy mayo sauce quite a bit. For my entree, I ordered the pork katsu with rice and tonkotsu sauce. It was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. I also would've preferred a slaw instead of just a few pieces of lettuce. Portions overall were big, and the dishes are definitely shareable. The service: Service was touch-and-go, very much a fast-casual setup.

If you order a Bento box you will not leave hungry. For some people it may feed you twice. I ordered a pork bulgogi box with seaweed salad, oshinko, and fishcakes. It also comes with rice and a bowl of probably the best miso soup you can have around the area. The sides came out a tad cold, so I waited a little for them to come to room temp while digging in on the warm items. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. There are plenty of options that im sure are equally as delicious.
