The food here is without a doubt, delicious and scrumptious. Only complaint is, you have to be seated next to strangers and they really pack you in tight.

Worst experience I've ever had here.1. Several people at my hibachi table ordered extra rice but the cook didn't bring additional rice to cook, leaving significantly less fried rice for everyone who didn't order a double serving.2. I ordered the steak, my wife ordered the steak+chicken combo. I ended up with less steak than her and she had the chicken on top of it for the nearly same price.3. The big one. This cook was making a huge mess. Rice and oil everywhere. His 'butterfly' butter flew onto the table and he then used it to cook with. He also used his spatula on the raw meats and immediately after began serving rice to us on the same spatula. My scoop of rice was actually touching raw steak when he retrieved it for me.In summary, this is by far the smallest amount of food I've ever gotten at a hibachi. I had to immediately put it in a box, bring it home, and cook it a little more since it'd been touching raw meat after it'd been cooked. Hopefully none of the other families sitting with us are ill because of this.

Me and my parents haven't been to this place in a while, but the food was so good, the chef made us chuckle, and the fire at the start was amazing!! Definitely will be coming back soon!

I have to give this visit less than 5 stars, the cook was great and earned those three but the service was bad. First off they seated 10 people at the table. No! 9 at most and that is pushing it. We were practically on each other's laps. Definitely touching legs. People should never be made to feel like that at a restaurant. Then they left all 10 of us sitting there on each other's laps forever! They seated other tables and started their orders before anyone acknowledged our table. My nerves were literally shot by the end. I didn't even want to finish eating I just wanted out of there. Too long waiting, too close to too many people, and loud. Ov?er?it. They'll be my last trip to dine in there for a while.

Our waitress was great. I was disappointed with our cook. He had food all over the table when he was putting on our plates. I got an order to go and when I got it home the scallops were dark brown like they were overcooked. The vegetables were mostly zucchini and hardly anything else and the whole meal had no flavor. I called the restaurant and told them I was dissatisfied, the manager made excuses, she was not going to compensate me, and it was a waste of my time. I guess I'll have to find another Japanese restaurant to eat at.

It was my first and last time there it’s to dirty the bathrooms had no soap on a Saturday Night!! The floors we’re greasy and very dirty we’re they stand to cook looks like it needs a floor steamer to clean the grease low grade of meat my steak was all fat I’m sorry but it was $70.00 for my husband and I to eat there the place definitely needs updated we had to wait 90 min to be seated we won’t go back there again!!

I have to change my review to 2 stars. This place has went down hill so fast :/ the past 4 times we have given it another shot it’s been horrible. The cooks are very rude. You don’t actually get what you order or you barely get any. Heaven forbid if you ask for a meal to go. The chef will scream at you. I will never understand how if someone orders a medium rare steak how they get served the last one left. The food hasn’t had much flavor either. If your wanting good hibachi this place just isn’t it :/

Was just here, & the family across from us at the table requested Tom ? he was the worst I’ve ever experienced, refused to talk to me. Gave the family that requested him, extra food & gave us half of our order. Gave that family to go boxes of extra stuff that also wasn’t ordered & full scoops of chicken & steak on their food that they didn’t order. Overall worst experience. Do not recommend Tom. Every other table had a good show. The food wasn’t bad but again I ordered steak & chicken & had like 5 pieces of steak & a tiny scoop of chicken & watched him give the rest to a family that ordered shrimp. We are talking about full scoops, not half scoops like I was given. I’m glad I could pay for that family to eat. ? 1/5 stars for obvious reasons.

It is ghetto, there is a strange aftertaste in my mixed drink. The food tastes burnt, isn't worth the price and wait. If you want good hibachi worth your time and money go to Fujiyama steakhouse.
