No yum yum sauce and the cook kept making fun of someone for preferring their meet well done. The mocking continued even after I spoke up saying some people can not digest beef not cooked well due to lacking an enzime, similar to how some people can't digest milk. The table next to us got a cook who knew no tricks, I felt bad for the family as they asked pointing at our table if that's how it's usually done. Sushi roll came out with different ingredients than was on the table. The owner was nice and server was friendly.

Date night with my son. He doesn't really like sushi, so we did hibachi. They have adult drinks as well as a few kids drinks. He got a strawberry koori. I think it's basically a strawberry smoothie with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top and a tropical umbrella to make it festive.Calamari is his favorite thing to get anywhere. He really loved the calamari "sticks" at a different restaurant called Tuptim Thai. The ones here were similar and also very tasty.For hibachi, we got the teriyaki steak and chicken. It comes with soup and salad. I was actually really impressed with the soup. The crispy tempura topping really adds another dimension that sets this soup apart. The salad was the standard lettuce with ginger dressing, but still a nice way to whet the appetite.The teriyaki steak and chicken comes with fried rice and stir fry vegetables. The food is seasoned well, which I enjoy. For others that need to watch their sodium, you might ask the chef to go easy on the seasoning. For me, it was perfect!They have an aquarium up front with a couple yellow-spotted black sting rays that I've never seen before. A cute little turtle swam around, showing off it's belly to us. Just something that he really enjoyed.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.I called weeks in advance to reserve a table for a celebration and was told they have a party room and we could have it. I asked if they needed a down payment, etc and was told 'no'. I even made sure it was okay to bring a cake for the party room and after confirming the date and time, I assumed everything was set. When we arrived for our celebration we were seated at a regular table - with strangers. After questioning the gentleman in charge he said that he had not written it in the reservation book and therefore we could not have the room. He also stated for us to have it, it would need to be 'set up'. Weird thing is about 20 - 30 minutes after we were seated, they had no issue seating others in this area. There was not any attempt to 'make it right' for us, just a vague apology when we were leaving. For the amount of money spent, I expect better. Much better. We were all extremely disappointed in the behavior of those in charge and I would most definitely advise folks to look elsewhere when needing a spot for a celebration. Yuki will not keep their word and won't admit the mistake. Celebrate elsewhere!!!

It was our first dine in restaurant experience since Dec 2019 due to the pandemic. Service was good, staff in training, which will be common I expect for the next several months. Food was EXCELLENT. Stellar in fact. Sushi Master wore food gloves, no doubt a COVID safe regulation, which couldn't have been easy! All our food looked amazing and tasted great. We'll be back. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is wonderful! The sushi was outstanding. The chef and wait staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Everything we ate was the best and the restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back!

Inexperienced and unprofessional “chefs.” Steak was terrible and I’ll be flossing for the next 3 days trying to get it out of my teeth.. it was so chewy and tough. Chef had terrible timing on the grill.. vegetables were put on first..so as you could imagine they were burnt by the time he cooked everyone’s meat then finally offered them around the table. I think the chef said maybe two words the entire time. I’ve always experienced hibachi to be very entertaining and interactive but this was far from it. Dishes were being dropped left and right by several of the workers and following you hear nothing but obnoxious loud laughs. Very disappointed.

I think the owner is a great person. Who cares about his employees the atmosphere is very comfortable and I love this food.

Go there all the time for great hibachi! Always go home with some leftovers for lunch the next day. Good food, good service. They’re always nice

Fun atmosphere and great food!

Food and service was amazing. Our chef was great, super entertaining and got the temperatures on our steaks perfect. It was all in all a great evening out.
