I thought the country music threw off the vibe a little. The staff were very polite. I would say the pace of service was leisurely but not nearly as slow as I had feared given some of the reviews. If anything, I had to wait a while to order after I was seated, but my food came out in a totally reasonable amount of time after that. I had the unaju and tempura ice cream. The salad that came with the meal was very basic, but the unaju was good. The eel was very flaky. The daikon tasted a little funny to me though. The presentation in the box was very nice. I really liked the tempura ice cream too. I've only had tempura ice cream once before, and this was a little different with a coating that was less crispy and more cakey. It was big, with two very generous scoops of ice cream. Good size for sharing. I felt like everything was worth the price and I would eat here again.

I got the shrimp tempura, and it was cold, and tasted like it was yesterdays. No crunch to the tempura whatsoever. i asked if they make it per order or one giant batch then use throught the day and the lady looked very confused. Ice cold shrimp, soggy breading, not a good mixture. Ive never had an issue with the tempura. Dinner was excellent of course. Recommend 10/10 Might want to skip sushi though. I dont recommend that. So I've read some of the reviews about how this place is really dark and dingy, when you first walk in lights are on you can see what you're doing you can see everybody there's a bar to your right and there's Booth seating for non hibachi. When you walk through the doors you're right at the desk to check in. If you look straight you can see the Hibachi room. This is a darker room so it can be more intimate. With the whole fire going on the grill, keeping it dim in the room gives it a "wow" factor and to set the mood/ambiance. Its not so dark you cant see, its just not as bright. If it's a bright room and you're having all of these fire tricks going on it's not a big wow factor. I've never had a metallic taste happen in this restaurant, nothing is wrapped in tinfoil, and I've been coming here since I moved here in 2010. Now you can sometimes get overcooked food here if the chef is overworked, but as long as you talk to them and tell them that it is overcooked they'll remake it for you. Or they'll take it off your check. Everyone here is easy going even on a super busy day. I've never had attitude from anybody. Also they don't use a bunch of sauce to Overcoat your food with flavor. A lot of other places will just load it up with teriyaki sauce and the other sauce that I can't think of the name of but the reason why they do that is because the food isn't fresh here the food is fresh. They use fresh ingredients. I've been to other Hibachi places where in their vegetables they add corn and green beans which ruins the whole flavor and then when they're cooking on the grill they add jarred garlic which is a whole different flavor that doesn't mix with the Hibachi experience. Everything is cut in front of you so if you don't think that your chicken is correctly colored you can see it and you can tell them. Again if you don't like something TALK TO THEM. They dont bite.

We've eaten here before and after the new owners, and the food is good, although the overall selections are more limited than the prior owner's menus. There are still many, and many sushi-sashimi varieties, and custom poke bowls, soup selections, and appetizers. We favor the poke bowls, which can be high in overall value. Their appetizers haven't thrilled us, but they're not bad, just a bit expensive. This is a great place for parties and celebrations if you want to sit down at the grill, and watch a performance. Overall, it's tough to go wrong. Nothing super-stands out, but you won't likely be disappointed.

The price looked expensive on paper, but I understood when I saw it. I could only eat 3/4 of it myself as a meal and even then I was really full. But it was hard to stop! Nice and crunchy and very flavourful. I'll probably continue to come here on occasion when I want Korean because the location is convenient.

The portion was generous for one meal but not quite as generous as I usually see at the other downtown Thai restaurants; I didn't feel like I could get two complete meals out of it. I still think it's reasonable for the price, but if you're really trying to get the most mileage for your dollar, the other places will get you slightly farther. Personally, that's not always my priority as long as the portion is sufficient for one meal, which it absolutely was. The Thai iced coffee was also pretty good. I'm glad I gave them another try, and I'd eat here again.
