My soup only had a single muscle and an empty shell ? I might as well had gone to the beach and picked up some seaweed and thrown it in a bowl of noodles matter of fact I could have I found my own empty shell for free while strolling on the sand and thrown it in the soup too. only a single fried shrimp, come on! Huge rip off for the price they shouldhave at included rice ? ?. 17 dollars for a bowl of thick noodles with mostly carrots and mushrooms...Not worth it.

Good fresh Japanese food, service was very quick & very friendly.Amazing food,service & guy doing the teppan was excellent.

The Teppan Bar and Grill was superb, everything dish was perfectly cooked and the Chef couldn’t have been more personable and professional. Can’t wait to go back!

This was until yesterday our favorite place to celebrate birthdays we waited for the teppan grill we was a party of eight so we was gonna be very tight and to our surprise the owner wanted to add three people to our table like how do we suppose to celebrate our birthday with three people we don’t even know and when we complained about it she got all angry and started yelling so we left and will never go back

Probably the worst dining experience I've ever had what was the party at 7 we spent over $500 to each get about 4 oz of meat per item. I paid market price for a lobster and wasn't even given the full Lobster was also forced to share the calamari with the other people ridiculously small portions also only came with one small bowl of rice per person again we spent over $500 I will never ever ever ever go here again and I suggested no one ever does also the show was boring at best

I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! From the start of walking in we were given horrible attitude. We had a reservation and were on time to it but they were very busy so I guess that was our fault. The cook was extremely rude!! Would throw our rice bowls on our plates, he didn't ingage at all with us. The vegetables were not fully cooked and the meat was so raw most of us didn't eat it. One of our guests had a soda spilled all over them and they just gave him towels and napkins to clean it up. We were told walking in that there is a $10 cake fee for bringing your own cake which they provided you a knife lol. Then the waitress said "oh that cake looks good and you have extra piece for me" so my husband they kind man he is gave up a piece because he felt awkward. Well they still charged us the 10 for using their knife to cut it even though we gave her a piece. Then the bathrooms, let me tell you are absolutely the most disgusting bathrooms i have even been in. The stalls dont lock at all, toilets dont flush and the toilet paper is on the floor. For paying $350 for 5 plates and 2 drinks you would like the place would be better quality for sure. I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like. So moral of the story, WE WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK HERE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE EVER!!!!! WORST SERVICE AND FOOD IS NOT COOKED FULLY!

Our Teppan chef was great. He was funny and our food was delicious.

Pros: Hibachi Chef preformance was pretty good compared to others I've been to. Steak was delicious. Chicken was okay. A decent amount of meat and veggies with the meal. Staff was friendly to us.Cons: WAY overpriced! You have to choose between soup or salad (even though the menu says otherwise), you only get a small bowl of rice, and the dragon roll was pretty gross. Eel was mostly just skin, no meat.They are still understaffed. We went on a Monday night. Service was slow, we waited a long time for boxes and check, and never got drink refills. I feel bad for the waitresses they have a lot to handle.

Let me keep this short:Service= (1) Non engaging hostess, after 15 min someone finally comes to take order. Then brings food, No return to see if everything was ok or if we wanted more.Food quality, presentation & value = (1) not even enough fish in the rolls to taste it. Roll cut and plated. No garnish very plain. Over priced everything for very small portions (yes I know we are in pandemic inflation but really?) And to top it off I had to ask for Wasabi, ginger and soy sauce! Ugh.
