Food quality was amazing. The King of Salmon special was incredible. The dine-in hibachi portions were generous. Our waiter, Austin, was very polite and attentive. The hostess at the front seemed distracted? Either way, we look forward to returning.

It was SO delicious! This is my new go-to place for an amazing sushi roll. And the service was great. My server was very sweet as well. Not too pricey for the amount and the quality of the food.

if I could rate this a zero, I would.my first problem with this restaurant- our hibachi chef looked mad and the "show" was really awful. at least make it look like you enjoy what you're doing.my second problem- I asked our waiter if the soup was made with a plant based broth and if it was completely vegetarian. he told me it was. I am highly sensitive to meat and I get severe diarrhea and vomiting whenever I eat anything that even touched meat. after eating the soup I got very nauseous with stomach cramps and couldn't eat the rest. after arriving home I got the symptoms I previously mentioned. y'all are so lucky I wasn't allergic to meat or else you would have a lawsuit on your hands. I am NEVER coming here again.

This plathis place had excellent food. Thats the main reason i gave four stars. The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars was the guy who did the hibachi tricks to make our food didnt do much. The normal onion ring volcano and 2 people for saki shots and only offered it once. Didnt seem to have the motivation to do much of anything. Other than that my salmon was a little on the dry side but was an overall decent experience. Ive been to the orilan in bloom and that was an even better experience with a more lively hibachi chef.

OMG, so good! Party of 10; chef did very well! Great food; great fun with family - you can't ask for much better!

My husband and I got takeout from here. We were so excited because we have an Ichiban where we live. So of course this is the first place we would choose to eat while traveling. The restaurant interior looked the same as well so we were pumped. The meal was a total joke. We always get the volcano roll. This should be enough for a meal in itself. Nope. Not even close. It was enough for a tiny taste and the fish was ground in with panko bread crumbs. But this a guess. The soup wasn’t pleasant to taste and anything else we had other than than the salad was just covered in black pepper. Then in the end it was down right expensive for what we got. I wish the people of Williamsport and the surrounding area could eat at the Ichiban I know. This restaurant could learn a lot from them and would put their food to shame.

First time for myself as well as others in the group to experience a Hibuchi grill - Food was scrumptious, Chef made it fun and very experienced. I would give this place an A+ and would love to go back. One downside if there is anything negative is the amount of food they serve. Lol. We walked out of there with more boxes with left overs then what iv ever seen leaving a restaurant. Lol. Truly a wonderful experience.

Food and hospitality is great! Wish they had more room though. It was a Saturday night which was very busy and not much room in the lobby.

It was just ok for me. I've had better. I only ordered a steak on the hibachi menu. Didn't get much when mixed with others orders. The sushi was good. My waitress needs more training. I didn't get sugar for my iced tea until dinner was being served.

If you enjoy hibachi this is the place for you. This may be the best tasting hibachi that I ever had. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection and exploding with flavor. The filet could easily be cut with a fork. My sushi was fresh and tasty. Servers were attentive and friendly. Pricing was typical of a hibachi restaurant. They accept reservations.
