Ordered the Hibachi sushi boat was average at best. It also took over 40 mins to make even though there was only one other table with people in the room. Wife is lactose intolerant so we asked if we could sub the roll with cream cheese for another roll of the same price. Were told no. Asked if they can make the roll without, was told yes. When the boat arrived the roll had cream cheese. The non binary server didn't know how to handle the situation. At first told us to keep it and they would make another. 5 mins later he/she came back over to the table and took the plate away. Eventually, had to wave over the sushi chef for the check bc the server never came back after replacing the roll. Was never even asked if any of us wanted a refill on our drinks. First time here in 10 years. It will be another 10 before I even consider a return visit. Just a sad experience overall. read more

I was literally the only person in this giant restaurant the night I stopped in... which was a little wierd. Nonetheless, everything turned out great. The bartender was nice and told me about the all you can eat sushi... which for $24 is a pretty good deal, and what I ordered. They had a delcious selection of spicy sushi... I had some of that as well as an assortment of appetizer-like items like shrimp on a skewer and chicken wings... all of which were tasty. Next time I'm in Downingtown, I am definitely coming back. BOTTOM LINE: Awesome all you can eat sushi selection! read more

I really wish I could give this establishment 0 stars. Due to convenience I ate here again (for a 4th time) with a girlfriend despite my precious negative experiences. I knew I should've turned around and walked out after the host showing our table bolted ahead of us, realized he forgot us, turned around and had to come back which was an awkward experience. But that doesn't warrant a zero star review... What does is that my girlfriend and I both got VIOLENTLY ill from their sushi. We both ordered spicy tuna rolls. I was sick and throwing up for 4 days afterwards. Never again will I come here! read more

Great owners and fabulous employees! Love the atmosphere and of course the huge fish in the indoor pond. Highly recommend this place.

Love coming here when I come to PA! All you can eat is great! Excellent Sushi. Great service! Come here 2 times a year, once for each trip. Great time with friends and family. Never had a problem, would recommend to sushi lovers! read more

Just don't. Tried teppanyaki. We arrived at 530pm. We were seated at 6pm. We ordered drinks at 635pm. The wrong drinks promptly arrived at 7pm. The dinner "show" was non-existent. The food was not good. The service was worse. It is now 8pm and we still haven't received our bill... read more

Poor service and overpriced sushi vs the quality. Be careful they charge you for the tea (we each ordered tea plus 2 for the kids, $13 for 4 hot teas). There was no price published in the menu for the tea. The quality of the food was extremely mediocre. read more

Have been here a few times and each time gets worse. Went for the all you can eat sushi. Maybe it was because it was a Friday night but the service was horrible. They had one server and she seemed to be in a bad mood. She was rude and seemed annoyed. The self serve soup and salad needed replenishing and when I asked, she grunted. After ten minutes she finally dumped some lettuce in the bowl but that was it. There were several other server/bus staff floating about but they did not help her. They seemed preoccupied with the Hibachi side of the business. The fish was just ok. The salmon was old and fishy. The hamachi was ok. Not sure if we'll go back. Definitely not on a busy night. read more

I'm amazed that anyone would rate this place high. Perhaps they don't go out to eat much. For one, this is a terrible (and bad smelling) Indian restaurant, posing as a Japanese joint. No ambiance whatsoever. The cook is Indian, the sushi "chef" is Indian and the only Asians were the clueless woman at the register and equally clueless bartender. I guess they want to fool people into thinking it's a Japanese restaurant. I ordered takeout and brought it back to my hotel. The food was put in flimsy, cheap containers that were sagging from the weight of the food. In short, the sushi was dangerously AWFUL, sweaty, mushy and putrid. It looked odd and smelled really, really bad, so needless to say I didn't even attempt to eat it. There is no way that a Japanese sushi chef would have let this food out of the door and into a patron's belly. The noodles and chicken that I ordered looked and smelled off as well. $30 + bucks down the drain. I was too tired to drive the 10 miles to get my money back, and knew they'd deny the bad quality if I called. Oh well. I wound up eating Burger King. To anyone who knows Sushi and Japanese food, stay far away from this joint. They are lucky I'm giving it one star, only because zero stars isn't an option. read more

Great food, the owner and staff are very nice. We've went here for years. Getting ready to go back in an hour!!

We typically go for sushi, but have tried the Hibachi a few times as well. I'm not super picky with food, so I usually enjoy the rice, noodles, sushi etc... (although I have had better at their other locations) Where this restaurant suffers is the service. No matter what day or time we go in, we see the same wait staff of basically one guy and one gal. I'm assuming this means they are overworked because they sure act like it! They are completely unhappy to see customers, almost never check on us (need water with wasabi!) and have gotten our order wrong more than once. We basically go resigned to the fact that we will have to put up with these annoyances just to get some sushi. read more

This is a big place with hibachi tables on one side and a sushi bar on the other. The Hibachi is typical of most places with the usual "show". I think the better option is sushi. Their all you can eat special is available every day. $25 and you can order off of the whole sushi menu (it's not buffet style). If you want sashimi with it, they add 2 dollars. Still a great deal considering what you can pay for specialty rolls individually. You can also order from a number of appetizers, salad, and soup. As others have said, it may not be the BEST sushi I've had, but it is very good and a great value. Oh, it's true that the service is slow. They usually have one waitress covering the bar area and the sushi dining area. You just have to be patient and deal with flagging then down once in a while. read more

The food is severely lacking in flavor. It felt as if they were trying to push food out quickly so they skimped on making good food and putting on a bit of a show, as expected at this style of restaurant. The fried rice was so oily I couldn't eat it. Service was poor as well. read more

Over priced, small portions, and food is not fresh. If you compare this place to other similar restaurants it fails one numerous levels. I have never seen a filet come out and look like it was ripped away from a hungry dog before it was cooked for a guest. Just not worth the money. Won't be back. read more

Avoid the all you can eat Sushi on Friday night. The food was good, not great. The service wasn't good. We were there for two hours. It over 30 minutes after we ordered to get our first round of sushi. No one came back to check on us for over an hour. Our drinks had all been empty for 45 minutes. When inquired about the rest of our order, It was clear they had lost the 2nd half of our order. Then they brought us a tray of sushi that was not part of our order, but we were so hungry that we ate it anyway. In the end the bill for 3 people was $95 for food and 1 drink each. It would have cheaper just to order the sushi we wanted. read more

Third time here, what happened to the Asian cooks? Less show now, but still got a volcano and the shrimp toss, no more knife flipping or shrimp in the hat. Food was ok, (too much soy), paying for the show. Did not try the sushi. read more

We've been here several times but I think this visit is the last. Came on a Saturday night at 530ppm. Took an hour to get seated (they said it was only half an hour) and we waited another hour to have the meal started. Unfortunately they seem very short staffed which made for a pretty terrible dining experience. If you want to wait two and a half hours for mediocre food, please come visit this place. read more

I used to love this place. They had the best "all you can eat" sushi around. I have been there for hibachi before and had a good experience. Tonight was not that night. I'm not sure if there's new management but there was a noticeable difference in staffing. The overall experience was: have people wait as a captive audience at the bar and then churn them through the meal portion with half rate hibachi guys. The hibachi guy botched the utensils toss at the beginning- bad first impression. The eggshell was visibly present when he also botched the egg toss and proceeded to fold it into the fried egg. Fried rice was crunchy. Burnt vs. eggshell... who knows? Left me wondering "what the eff did I just pay for?" Not going back. read more

Worst service The hibachi section was a 45 minute wait so we asked to be seated in the table section by sushi bar. The waiters were so slow and the worst was we ordered two hibachi meals which took 45 minutes and came out lite warm to cold. So yeah clearly the waiters did not monitor the status of the kitchen. I never get upset at lame service typically but tonight I tried to give him a cold piece of chicken so he understood how cold the meal was. I was offered a new meal but I just took ours to go and microwaved it in the hotel room. Worst hibachi and should not get any zagat rating. read more

Around town for some business with some associates. Hibachi, my favorite meal, was needed. A 3 star average review, I knew it was better. I eat a lot of fried rice and I was a tad disappointed with the size of getting double fried rice, killer rice. Also if you want killer noodles, you have to order off the menu. Definitely a 9/10 suggest. Hibachi fiend out. read more

i had a terrible experience at this hibachi location. first, the host wouldn't give me a table because one of my five friends wasn't there yet and would arrive in 5 minutes. Then, we ended up waiting 45 minutes for the chef to start cooking. the waiter came and we gave him our orders, but the guy didn't even tell the chef about my friend's dietary restrictions which she repeated around four times. The guy was nice, but he also didn't give me the right sashimi and then tried to overcharge me. Then, when the chef came, he wouldn't cook the vegetables and shrimp first even though a chef right behind us at a different table did just that. the waiter was nice and took off money from my friend's bill because she couldn't eat anything and the plain noodles she received were pathetic. It tasted like plain, uncooked fettuccine. The contaminated vegetables were not even cooked, they just sat in oil the whole time. Then the chef threw chicken at my OTHER vegetarian friend when she told him twice that she didn't want it. overall terrible experience. i hope the management does better from now on. My bill was almost $50 for terrible burnt food. read more

*This gets ugly. Okay, so first off I do love eating here and I love the all you can eat sushi, but my reasoning for the number of stars is for a few other reasons such as a particular waitress/bartender. I was there one day with 2 friends and only me and one friend ate the other only had a drink. We were there for about an hour total and during that time she visited our table twice, once to give us our list for the all you can eat and to get our drink order and again to give us our drinks and take the list. We were the only ones there other then one guy sitting at the bar day drinking... She was the only person working, but instead of waiting on us, she was to busy flirting with the dude at the bar.. My friend who only had order a soda only got his initial drink never got a refil and neither did my other friend and I. When we were done we waiting 10 minutes or so before I finally got up and walked over to her at the bar and asked for the cheque and she said she would bring it right back over to our table so I went and sat back down, 20 more minutes go by before I'm finally pissed and go get it myself. Mind you she never once left the bar. I signed my receipt and left without tipping her. We walk out and are half way out to the car and she comes running out yelling "excuse me! Excuse me!" And she was pleasant at first asking if there was something wrong with our service and I was so dumbfounded that she actually chased us out of the building over this.. And before I could open my mouth my one friend said "nothing" and before anyone could say anything else she became enraged and stomped her foot forward and put her hand out towards us and angrily said "then why didn't I get a tip!?" There are so many things I should have said to this woman at this point but did not. I called and complained as soon as I got home and the manager who barely speaks English agreed to give me two free all you can eat sushis to make up for it (I never did tho) and a few months later I went back with my whole family and low and behold she remembers me... She did not say anything, but she did make sure to spilt in my glass of water :) as for the other reason, I've been there on three other occasions for the all you can eat and in at least one piece of sushi (usually a rice ball) was a long black hair all throughout the piece of sushi. Very visable, plain as day. Something the person preparing it should have obviously seen. And the wasn't just laying on the food.. It was rolled up into it. read more

We had a nice time. Our chef was entertaining and did a good job. The quality of the steaks was a little lower than we typically get at hibachi type restaurants. The prices were a little lower than others so I guess it was a good fit for the price point. read more

Have been here many times so went tonight for my birthday with my daughter, son and two friends. It was my friends first time there. The server was stretched very thin with many tables so we were being patient as it took a very long time to get drinks. My son only ordered water and it didn't come until a good bit of time after we had already eaten our appetizers! When the meal finally came my sons food was cold and they brought the wrong entree for me. Mistakes happen. Instead of just bringing me a new entree the server brought a side of chicken and just had me pick other pieces off of the plate that was wrong. At the end he brought us the bill, apologized and said he was going to comp my meal as it was very disjointed and extremely less than ideal. My friend paid as it was my birthday. Then the manager came over and brought a new bill, refusing to allow the comp. We tried to explain what had happened however she wasn't hearing it and we had waited forever already so my friends just paid because the manager was being embarrassingly loud. The server came back over and was horrified to hear what happened. AND we found out the the manager made HIM pay for half even though she charged us the full amount!! My friends were so easy going throughout the entire meal/delays but said they'd never go back after what the manager did. I can't blame them. I felt bad for picking this place for my birthday dinner. And I felt bad for how their server was treated too. read more

Possible food poisoning . Ok so this is my first time ever leaving a yelp review sadly in this case i needed to warn people . Tonight we had family visiting from switzerland and we want to treat our uncle for his birthday . We had a party of 8 people . The food tasted great the service was good no complaints within 30 minutes from arriving home 7 out of the 8 people who ate here tonight had explosive and painfull diarrhea . Im embarrassed to even have to even say it including stomach cramps and intestinal pain . Before leaving for dinner no one had any problems now everyone sick and in pain . We all had both hibachi and sushi .again everything tasted fresh and our meal was delicious . But it sure is embarrassing and painfull to have a guest experience this . We will not be returning to this place of business especialy considering how much money we spent to all get so sick no thanks read more

My husband & I went for lunch the other day! The prices were good for a lunch portion. The food was okay, we've had better. What was disappointing is that after our food was done being cooked, we had to wait for our check for 20 minutes after we were already done eating & we were there at open so nobody was in the restaurant expect the 2 other girls sitting at the table with us. We couldn't find our server. We probably won't return, but give it a try. read more

I love the all you can eat sashimi and sushi rolls. Everything I've tried has been really fresh. The hibachi is also very good. The staff is very friendly. read more

This hibachi is such a let down compared to others I've been to. The decor is really cool. Inside they have a little stream and koi in their pond, its really quite nice. This is where you go if you're not going to get Hibachi, but why would you go somewhere NAMED Hibachi and not order its namesake? The service is so-so, not terrible and the show is fine too. However, the food is where this restaurant suffers. The sushi is average, you can definitely get much better for cheaper in the area. The hibachi here is typically either extremely garlicy or extremely bland. The price for hibachi is also outrageous at this particular location, not that hibachi is ever really cheap. I've been to other hibachis that are a few dollars cheaper and you get more, better food. If you simply MUST have hibachi, this is passable, otherwise find somewhere else. read more

Made a reservation for a large group. Table was not ready, waited at least 15-20 mins to get sat. Once sat we were seated at a table with not enough room so had to move. Waited 10-15 mins for server to come get drink order then at least another 10 to get drinks and order. Food all mediocre at best and when I got the bill couldn't believe how expensive with no alcohol for some bland food. Gratuity of 18% was included I guess for large party. It was very busy but this was not acceptable. Won't be rushing back read more

I believe this is the only place some of the reviewers have eaten sushi and hibachi. I came here because of all of the great reviews! Bad choice!! Horrible service, our server did not smile once... that was awkward. Sushi rolls are that of a Wegman's roll. Nothing special. Sashimi was the same.. just OK. Ordered the shrimp and chicken hibachi. This chicken was the weirdest texture. I don't know if it was freezer burnt and cubed up while frozen? The shrimp was obviously frozen and lacked any flavor. That chicken, if it truly was chicken, was not right. Something was definitely 'off'. The over the top Vegas atmosphere was, interesting? Dingy spot overall. I would not recommend this place. read more

Alwways good, never exceptional. Friday night is all you can eat sushi night and it makes sense if you are going to get any specialty rolls. Free soup and salad comes with. The kids love the "show" and enjoy the food as well. Not a bad night. Service in the bar area can be very slow. read more

Very average Japanese grill. Great waitress and predictable actions and show from the cook at the table. First time I was ever served my steak before the vegetables. Skimpy servings of sauces and hard to ask for more when the cook is busy saving the vegetables for last. I would recommend this place to someone who has never been to a Japanese hibachi style restaurant especially young kids. For those who have experienced it before, save your money. read more

I typically go here for their all you can eat sushi special. The sushi itself is fantastic, no complaints. The serving staff sometimes are on the slow side, however some nights they have to manage the bar and the sushi bar. Overall great sushi, and the $25 all you can eat is a great deal. read more

Excellent place for Sushi, Tues-Thursday they have a sushi buffet which is always fresh, if you don't see it out just ask they will even make it for you! Excellet service and priced accordingly. read more

I had a wonderful time! The chef was a skilled entertainer, and the food tasted and smelled delicious! A great destination for a special occasion or when you want to feel like it is! read more

My boyfriend and I probably eat here about once a week. Our favorite chef there is John. He has an amazing show and the food is always tasty! Sometimes the wait is a bit long but that's expected with such a popular restaurant. I absolutely love their salad dressing and they have the best teriyaki sauce. The wait staff is very friendly . The manager makes it a point to go to every table and joke around with everybody. It's a very friendly atmosphere and is my favorite hibachi that I've gone to. read more

Waiter was unfriendly. He had a smug look on his face when we asked for water the second time. He also didn't take the drink orders correctly. The chef knocked my pals drink over and didn't offer to replace it. The chef took temperature orders and it was pointless because everything came out well done including the scallops which he cooked the longest. I needed a steak knife to break through the scallops. He also served my friends the wrong steak and then asked for it back after it was on the plate. Glad I don't live near this stink pot because I'll never come back. read more

Decent food for hibachi but the atmosphere is a little shady and the other customers aren't the best company. ALWAYS look in the clipper magazine for a buy 1 get 1 coupon, otherwise you are just overpaying. If you must have hibachi, not horrible, but otherwise I would skip them. read more

I was so excited to get hibachi. Here I was thinking that no one can mess up hibachi, after all I wasn't going there for the tricks but for the food....boy was I wrong! Walking in, this place looked very cheesy but I kept telling myself that the food would be good. There was a 15 min wait for a table so I went to the bar. We sat there for at least 10 minutes before a bartender came over and even then we had to ask for a drink menu. The menu had food stains and was dirty but bartender seemed nice. We finally get seated and once again the menu's look outdated and firty. We both ordered the house special (chicken, shrimp and salmon). It came with a salad and fried rice. Our salads came out in plastic bowls. The first thing I thought to myself was am I a child? We should be served in glass bowls. Our chef was not good with his time management. Vegetables were burnt and so was the salmon. He tried to cover up that the salmon was burnt by putting sauce on it. He put this sauce that tasted like "sweet and sour soy sauce" on EVERYTHING! The shrimp also was not cleaned. I didn't eat 75% of mine because it still had shrimp feces i it. I was so disappointed. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Benihana's but this place is closer to my house so I decided to give it a try. read more
