This place rules. I highly recommend it to everyone. First of all, they have the best edamame I…read morehave ever had by far. It may seem odd to mention that in a review for a steakhouse, especially when their steak is also absolutely stellar, but it is really that good. The hibachi chef was skilled both as a chef and as a performer and all the food was cooked perfectly. The prices are also very low for the amount of food you receive - $37 buys 10oz of filet mignon (which is already a better price than a lot of steakhouses) but that then also comes with a huge quantity of rice, noodles, and vegetables, as well as a salad and a soup. We ate our fill and then also had like a week's worth of leftovers. It's certainly not somewhere we can afford to come super often, but it's an excellent deal for what you receive. One thing to keep in mind though is it's really cold in there, presumably so that working with the hibachi all day can be tolerable. Since customers don't stand over the hot grill the whole time you should bring a sweater.

*To-Go Review*…read more Placing our order by phone, the quote for pick up less relatively fast. However, upon arriving the hostess/cashier, we quickly determined that there were missing items from our order. Debating the correctness of the order, I had to vehently restate what I ordered vs what her response was, before she'd admit her error. So I'm not only did we have to wait another 20 minutes to get the rest of our order filled. I was quite disappointed to see that they lump an extra 10% onto your final balance discretely, with no option to negate it. To rate the cuisine, the food was mid at best... definitely nothing to write home about. After the lackluster experience, I would not recommend this establishment.

I ordered the shrimp hibachi, but unfortunately it was extremely salty. The fried rice and noodles were also fairly bland and lacked much flavor.

I also tried the crab fried rice and thought it was mediocre. It had clumps of white rice in it that had no seasoning.

Not pictured here was a salmon roll topped with salmon roe (I call it mother and child lol). The eel was also delicious, and I can't wait to return for a visit one day.

We decided to try somewhere new last Saturday night and were told about a 30-minute wait, which is usually a good sign as the place was packed. They took our number and texted us about 20 minutes later when two seats opened at the hibachi bar. Grabbing those seats was the best decision we made as we were entertained by both the hibachi chefs and the sushi station all night. The chefs were interactive, friendly, and clearly skilled at what they do. Our waitress, Jennifer, was absolutely on point, accommodating, polite, and happy to offer recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered the shrimp tempura, bagel roll, and spider roll for sushi, along with the shrimp and steak hibachi, which she thoughtfully split onto two plates for us without even being asked. The sushi arrived first, beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Soup and salad followed, then the hibachi entrée , all timed perfectly so we never felt rushed or overcrowded with dishes. The shrimp was fresh, the steak cooked perfectly, and the fried rice seasoned just right with herbs and spices that complemented the entire meal. Every part of the experience flowed from start to finish. A return visit is already in the works this month. Highly recommend this spot and major thanks to the employees for being at the top of their game! Truly a 5 star experience.

They offer bar seating but forget to mention that the bartenders will ignore you and you'll need to get their attention to get ANYTHING. Water... had to ask. Silverware... had to ask. To place an order for appetizers... had to ask. To place an order for drinks... had to ask. To place an order for entrees... had to ask. For the check... had to ask. Love to feel like a bother and paying for it at the same time But really I have never visited this location and has good or great service. Most importantly after spending so much time here my friend and I both spent the night up sick. Not sure if it was from the wings or the ramen but it seemed we both had a slight case of food poisoning. Overall save yourself the time and drive to other ramen places available in Jax, as there are much better ones that won't leave you sick.

I've honestly never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. The vibe inside is dark and moody, which works great for both a couples' date night or a family dinner.

I sat in a booth and I know that this is so picky, but the seats were so far back from the end booth that I had to sit on the same side as my friend to reach the table. Not a dealbreaker, just uncomfortable. The food was great though! I had a tempura shrimp roll and found it crispy and yummy. The vegetable udon was the star and it was packed with flavor. Will go again!
