Great food, great service! Came in on a Saturday evening, with a party of 14. Our party was slow to arrive, but they got our table ready, sat those of us there, and took our drink orders. We all got into the table and we had two toddlers with us. Our chef warned us about the fire, and toned it down when one toddler threw a fit over it. He was awesome! The food, for such a large group, was cooked and dispersed quickly. They were very easy going about splitting the check 4 ways. Very great experience all around!
Best sushi in Albuquerque! This place never disappoints. The sushi is fresh and innovative. They also have a hibachi side that I'm sure is wonderful but the sushi is so good that I always go for the sushi. Their hottest is wonderful. I get the hot tea no matter what time of year it is. The freshwater eel is SUPERB. I do not miss the eel appetizer no matter what. The service staff is friendly and attentive. If you find this helpful please click "helpful" to let me know.
Coming in we asked how long the wait would be for a party of 7 at the grill. We were told the wait would be about an hour so we decided to stay, we came to celebrate a birthday. It took 2 hours and a complaint to the manager to be seated, apparently people coming in after us were being assisted before us. Manager was very short and repetitive. Once we were seated, the experience was great. Food was fresh, our chef was kind and charismatic. Overall, if you're in a large group be prepared to be told one wait time and actually wait for longer.
It was a really good experience until the end. Food was good. The restrooms are really dirty and doesn’t look like they clean it up throughout the day. This is my family’s first time eating here so naturally I thought we would tip at the end. I had no cash on me. At the end the cook put his hand out waiting for us to give a cash tip after he finished cooking. After not receiving a cash tip he looked upset and shook his head. I asked my mom if she had any cash and she did so we left a cash tip and his attitude changed towards us. I had no idea we needed to tip with cash and we weren’t able to tip when we paid our meal. I learned to have cash when I go to a hibachi place now but I will not be returning to this establishment because that is a horrible way to confront customers on tipping.
They were SO BUSY on Saturday night! The guy working the front was trying so hard, bless his heart for not quitting even when the line was out the door. It took almost an hour for our take-out when we were quoted 30-40 minutes, but the food was very good. I would absolutely order from here again, I just wouldn't do it on Saturday night lol
My daughter and I ordered hot tea and 3 sushi rolls. The spider roll, and Aloha roll and the volcano roll. For the price I was very disappointed. The hot tea did not come with a pot and we both had to request refills. The spider roll was not even close to what I've had in other restaurants, it's usually one of my favorite orders. It was extremely bland and what little tempura was there was soft. The Aloha was the most interesting of the group, having both pineapple and avocado and the roll itself was tempura fried, but served luke warm and I did not like the taste combination. However that is not on them. But the volcano roll was the most expensive roll we ordered and it was just as boring as the spider roll. The only difference was that it had scallops served on top. But they were tiny and overcooked so they were chewy. The inside was just a plain California roll. It was cold as well. For this with tip was almost 60.00. Will not be back. I will say atmosphere was nice and everything was clean.
Our first time here and everything from the staff to our delicious food was 5 star. Can't wait to return and try the sushi but as you can see from my husband's plate there was no room in our tummy's that day.
So Awesome and Fun to Watch! Food Was also Delicious!!
First and foremost, the food is always excellent. That said, don't go when your already hungry. It took an hour and a half to be seated and another 50 minutes after being seated, to eat. Some of that was the show, so you don't notice, most of it was just standing/sitting.
What a wonderful dinner for our anniversary!!! We sat the communal flattop table and the gentleman cooked everything right in front of us with style and great humor. Everything was delicious, my scallop and shrimp, and my partner's steak were cooked perfectly, and the garlic noodles were a lovely surprise.
