HORRIBLE! They served our steak BURNT to a crisp and then charged us EXTRA because we said "no veggies" on our hibachi!! Frozen fried rice taste better! I never leave bad reviews but prices are high and I hope to prevent someone from over paying.

The food was Amazing. I am very impressed with the kindness and promptness of the service with lots of smiling ? faces.

Restaurant service was great until my daughter and I finished our food and noticed a bug floating in the low sodium container of soy sauce. We were given it when the container was full. Didn't notice it until after meal was almost done and went to use it again. I was only given 10% off my meal!!!! I absolutely will not ever return!!!!

The cook was high!!! I've never neen to a restaurant with a high cook before and let me tell you not the best experience lol. He dropped a lemon and then used it, knocked a guy's drink on him, cracked an egg and was going to keep the shell in the egg until I stopped him, dropped food everywhere, used way to ingredients such as salt, gave people the wrong mix of sauces, overcooked all the food, and it goes on! All of the customers were in shock, we had to all keep watching to make sure he wouldn't mess it up more. I will not be back....

This is by far the dirtiest restaurant I've ever been in. The floors were dirty and sticky, the hibachi was filthy and had food on it from the previous day, we were the first customers in on a Sunday evening. They open at 5pm so they have all day to clean! The food was good, was worried I would be getting cleaned out after eating. No frills from the chef, wait staff was good but from my perspective, if the main entrance and dining area was so nasty I would hate to see the kitchen! It's a salmonella breeding ground!

We were in the area for work and decided we wanted something different than normal. Upon entering, it is a pleasant entrance. Staff was quick to seat us at the Hibachi table, but as with any Hibachi, if the table is not full or mostly full, they will wait to see if more guests arrive. We did arrive within a couple hours of closing, so they were not busy at all. They ended up asking if we did not mind joining with another table. We did not as there were only 2 of us.The Chef was entertaining and the food was amazing. We both had the shrimp and steak. There were pieces of steak that was a tiny bit on the tough side, but flavor was delicious.The only reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the state of the inside. The building has a hanging ceiling and a lot of the ceiling tiles are water stained which gives the entire location a slightly unsavory look, which in turn causes the place to seem a bit dated. The rest of the restaurant was clean.Other than the ascetics, this was a great experience.

The sushi was ok. It had a weird salty taste then i realized why. They Don't wear gloves!!! The guy that made mine was constantly wrong seat of his head, texting in his phone and playing with his hair. I definitely will not be going back. I pray all is well with me!!!

Always good food. Only had a few bad experiences here but they were only because of other customers. Staff is always kind. Families favorite restaurant.

I'm not one to leave a bad review, but... Only giving one star so that I'm able to leave this review.Hubby & I ate here Friday for our anniversary lunch. He's been in bed sick with food poisoning since! We both ordered the Hibachi steak & chicken. His steak didn't taste right, it had a spoiled & bitter after taste to it.I should've read reviews before going here!

I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody in Little Rock, no matter how hungry you are. We waited about fifteen minutes to be handed a menu, and the entire experience just went downhill from there. The fried sushi we ordered tasted like it was microwaved, sat out for ten minutes, and then served to us. I ordered the Filet Mignon Hibachi and was repulsed at what I saw laying on my plate. I am not sure what mystery meat they decided to serve me, but I was horrified. The vegetables on my plate looked dejected, as if they were also disappointed. After asking for yum yum sauce, we were handed a used iced tea bottle filled with something that was most definitely not yummy. It did not smell, taste, or even look like yum yum sauce. I just cannot believe food could look and taste this bad. On top of that, you are charged gratuity, no matter how bad the service/food is. I paid over thirty dollars for something that was not worth it. I am not one to complain because I understand how the food service industry can be, but if you read other reviews, you will understand this was not a one time thing. I wish I could forget we ever came here, but I fear it will haunt me for days.
