I decide to do takeout since I don't want to wait for a seat and all the tables are for 2 and 4. The bar was taken up by 6 friends and they left 5 minutes after I ordered. No less than 2 minutes later, the bar had only two seats left! I'll say again, that's a good sign! When I got home to eat my Seaweed Salad and Paradise Roll, I understood why this business does well.

Unfortunately, today was completely different -- and extremely disappointing. I ordered a ribeye, and as soon as the food arrived, I noticed it was not good. It was cold, tasteless, and completely different from the standard I was used to. I immediately called the waitress and explained the situation. She was polite and asked if I would like it reheated, but I said no, because the issue was not only the temperature -- the food simply was not flavorful. The vegetables were soaked in water, everything was cold, and the overall taste was terrible. My husband was very hungry and even tried to eat it, but I told him it was impossible. The manager came over, apologized, and confirmed that the food was prepared in the kitchen. After that, we were offered ice cream as a courtesy, but nothing was done about the main dish, which was clearly not acceptable. We ended up paying the full bill -- around $80 -- for a meal that was horrible. I left the restaurant hungry, upset, and extremely disappointed. We had to leave our daughter with someone else for what was supposed to be a special dinner for us, and it turned into a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, I am truly saddened by both the quality of the food and the way the situation was handled.

Standout appetizers included the seaweed salad, avocado cucumber roll (we split that as an app for the table) and the miso soup. I got the vegetarian hibachi! It was a bit too oily for my liking and I definitely needed to doctor it up with some hot sauce/ soy sauce, but it was solid for what it was. Perhaps next time I will try more sushi options or get hibachi fresh

As designated driver, I had to pass on cocktails, but my fellow diners said their Zombies were top notch. They also said their hibachi dinners were terrific as usual. The servers were attentive despite a full restaurant. When we arrived the parking lot was 99.9 % full. There were sounds of cheer from others in the restaurant which only added to our enjoyment. Everyone we encountered including staff and fellow diners contributed to a fantastic dining atmosphere.

It took forever to have our order taken, and while she was taking our order, she took a phone call. She could've brushed it off til we were done but she didn't. We each ordered a sushi roll to start off the meal and we each ordered a bowl of tonkatsu as our mains. My friend's sushi came out first, then our ramen, then my sushi roll. It didn't come out one after the other, they came out pretty spaced out. That annoyed me. The sushi rolls could've come out together. The ramen flavor was ok. The pork was not melt-in-your-mouth like most ramen pork. The egg was perfectly cooked. The noodles had perfect consistency. The broth was ok. The place has some age to it and only has a few tables. It does get busy so I guess it's good enough for the area.

Sadly, this meal was disgusting…read more The Beef Negimaki was absolutely repulsive. It was like shoe leather. The hibachi chicken was so dry and had no taste. The Shumai was mid at best. The sushi was run of the mill. We had to delivered so can't really comment on the ambiance or service. I really would not recommend.

Quick and friendly, helpful service. I ordered the lunch special which came with soup, salad, a roll, and five pieces of chef choice sushi. I'm not a fan of salmon, but the other sushi I had was delicious. I believe they were tuna, whitefish, sea bass, and yellowtail. Also got my husband some chicken fried rice to go which also came with soup and salad. My cousin also got a lunch special, and I tried her clear soup- so good. All of this and the bill was just about $40. Will definitely come back again and try hibachi side with my husband.
