The place is well decorated and clean, and actually reminds me of Sushi dens that I've eaten at in Tokyo. They do a ton of rolls named after Wisconsin locations or sports teams, which make the menu friendly to people that don't have much experience with Sushi ( plus...they're tasty! ). Their prices are *very* reasonable and don't break the bank. Lots of parking plus it's easy to get to - what's not to love about this restaurant? Visit this place, you'll be glad that you did!

I also felt like the waiter came to our table way too many times, asking how things were and trying to take away plates and such, it didn't make for a very private date night.

Absolutely the worst hibachi experience I have ever had. We…read morewere first time visitors and came in excited, only to leave frustrated, disappointed, and still hungry. To start, the upcharge for hibachi fried rice is ridiculous. I have been to hibachi restaurants across the country and have never been charged extra just for fried rice. We paid it anyway, and the rice was severely undercooked. Next, each person at the hibachi table received approximately 1/3 cup of rice, and that is not an exaggeration. The portion was embarrassingly small. We were also supposed to receive a variety of vegetables, but the chef forgot to add all the vegetables. We ordered our steak medium and were served rare steak. It had to be placed back on the grill after it had already touched our plates, which is unsanitary and unacceptable, especially since the chef was not finished cooking for the night. On top of all of this, we ordered sushi and never received it. When we raised these issues, the server was not helpful and did not advocate for us at all. The group at our table had to argue just to receive more than 5% off the meal. Management then claimed we were not the same party, despite the fact that we were seated at the same hibachi table and experienced the same problems. Poor portions, poor execution, and poor customer service. This was not worth the money, and we will not be returning. Review update based on manager's response: Your recollection of the events is inaccurate. You appear to be confusing me with another patron who disputed their bill. This was my first visit to your restaurant, as clearly stated in my original review, so I am unsure where that assertion originated that I've been coming there for 20 years. We were not part of the party whose bill was adjusted beyond 5%. We were seated at the same table but were treated differently because we "weren't with them." As a result, our bill was not adjusted in a comparable manner. Additionally, we did not receive the bean sprouts or cabbage that were supposed to accompany the vegetables. I ordered sushi, and the server failed to submit the order until I reminded her later in the meal. The sushi arrived at the end of dinner in a to-go container. Unfortunately, I did not open it until I got home, at which point I discovered it was prepared incorrectly. Contrary to your response, we never received a gift card. Misrepresenting facts is not appropriate for a business owner. If you choose to publicly respond to reviews, it is important to ensure accuracy and awareness of what is occurring within your establishment. I understand that hibachi-style service involves managing multiple guests at once; however, patrons should not be penalized for operational or staffing issues. If a server/chef is on their first day, it is management's responsibility to provide oversight. At no point did a manager come to our table to acknowledge or apologize for the multiple errors. For these reasons, my original review and assessment remain unchanged. Proceed with caution when dining here.

No. Apparently, they actually close at 10, we dont even get in the door before other people are telling us theyre rushing people out because theyre about to close (which I understand).

The waitress was very polite. She took our drink orders and made a great suggestion. We also had Sushi and hibachi. The sushi was very good, made fresh, and incredibly flavorful. There are even a couple new rolls in the menu. The only downside to the sushi is that three of us ordered and it all came in one platter. This is fine at a table, but inconvenient at the grill. The chicken hibachi was done well. The chef did the normal show. One thing I liked was that he added a bit of garlic to the fried rice. Nice touch. Portions were large and even had some to take home. Overall a good visit.

Our server took a while to stop by for our drink orders and longer for our lunch order. It then took at least 10-15 minutes after soup/salad for our entrees to come out. I get it if the kitchen is busy but I watched my sushi platter sit on the bar for a while before our server came back to deliver it. He also didn't stop by much - hard to find to grab our bill. That took another 15 minutes. Frustrating as we saw other tables get helped promptly by many of the other servers. While this is a normally good, quick lunch spot, we didn't leave until maybe an hour and a half later. The food was okay but not worth the poor service. I did hear that the chicken hibachi was good but would've been better with yum yum and ginger sauce like what's available at other restaurants. Maybe just a one off but we won't return soon.

If it's your birthday they will sing HBD to you and you get a complimentary ice cream. If you never been to a hibachi restaurant before then this will be a great experience for you. All of your food is prepared right in front of you. Your table is assigned a chef, the waiter will take your order and the chef will prepare your meal to your liking. My favorite part is when they light up the grill ! The drinks are good and strong. The chef will give you a shot of saki in your mouth and he will pop shrimp into your mouth LOL. The chef's are very entertaining and will make you laugh. No matter if you're a meat eater or veggie eater the have something for everyone. I personally like the sea and land platter combo. It comes with chicken, steak, shrimp and salmon over your choose of ride or noodles with mixed vegetables. If you're going as a couple then this would be great. Oh if you're going to celebrate a birthday the will not seat you until your party arrives. Also they are willing to spit your bill if you come with a large group and gratuity is automatically included.

Jennifer made some recommendations based on our tastes - even on the beer side, which I was a bit hesitant to try, given my unfamiliarity. Ended up trying both Japanese beers that were offered and they were both excellent and paired well with my meal. Sushi and Hibachi dinners were fresh and filling. Loved the different sauces that were added to the dishes, and others were brought as well for appetizers that were ordered. Splurged on food here, I must say. We were really hungry, and I was eager to try a variety of what Sake House had to offer, so we ordered more than we normally would for a standard outing. It was cool that they even have Boba on their menu! And the taste was fantastic! We ate all our food and had no trouble with conversations, given the quiet environment. Staff was friendly and attentive, and I will return when I'm back in the area, for sure.
