My first time attending this establishment was for a coworker that was moving to Florida and we were here for her going away dinner. May I add this was definitely a great choice. To take in the whole experience you will have to call in advance to book a table because space is limited. The staff was polite and the restaurant was very clean. The hibachi chef was extremely funny and made my coworkers day by flirting with her throughout the evening. The food was delicious and you will certainly leave full and a get more food and items then you originally ordered. I will be back with my family for dinner soon and I hope the hibachi chef doesn’t hit on my wife lol.

If you’re disappointed they no longer do take-out orders for hibachi and you usually get steak, just order the “gal bi” from the dinner menu and upgrade it to fried rice. It also comes with a side of veggies and soup or salad. + It tastes wayyy more flavorful than hibachi and the beef is deliciously tender! 10/10? recommend, try it out you’ll LOVE it! Always great staff as well♥️

So this was the longest lunch I've every had! It was nice being with my family but man oh man was it a long process! Took forever to be seated and then we were seated with 7 strangers which wasn't to bad but I wanted to cut up a little bit with the girls. Well it took a long time for the drinks, to take our orders, to get the chef to cook, then forever to cook it! We were in there for 2 hours! Yes 2hrs!!!Good thing we were all off of work but the others were on lunch break and were definitely there for over an hour! The chef was good with the entertainment but the whole table just wanted to hurry up and eat at this point! Next time I'll be going for dinner so I can get the full experience and have a table all to ourselves! They could be better and maybe they are at night or dinner time, not sure. We shall see next time!

I have ordered here many times and it’s been great. However, today my co workers and I ordered lunch. Our total was $102.xx. I get there pick up our food and go back to work. I figure out that over half of our food is missing. One of my co workers got a salmon bento box. The salmon was the top tiniest piece of salmon I’ve ever seen. I went back to the restaurant to pick up the rest of our order and talked to the gentleman at the front about the salmon. He basically said I don’t know what to tell you, that’s the lunch portion. My sushi roll was $13 and something I could have gotten the same thing from food lion for half the price. The add on house salad was $3 and incredibly tiny. I’m highly dissatisfied and disappointed with our experience today. The price of the food and the quality do not match what so ever.

Really nice place! We got takeout late in the evening to bring back to our nearby hotel. Placed the order online and hardly had to wait. He got Akiama (spicy crab and broiled salmon with spicy mayo sushi) and loved it, but it was only 6 rolls and he wishes he had also gotten yakitori. I got asparagus wrapped with salmon which was delicious! The miso sauce was tasty and it came with mixed veggies (mostly zucchini, peppers, and broccoli, with a few carrots), white rice, and miso soup. I felt very fancy even though it was takeout. They provided napkins, cutlery, and even a little cup to pour soy sauce in. The restaurant itself was really nice, with a cool huge door, saltwater aquarium, hibachi tables, a bar area, and normal seating. We will definitely go back next time we're in the area.

We went for my nephew’s birthday. We had 20 people. Everything went well and the chefs were energetic and full of fun!!

Super chic modern Japanese restaurant with regular and Hibachi grill dining. We found a spot in the bar area and enjoyed amazing service and recommendations from Justin!The sashimi tacos (on fried sweet potatoes) were fantastic!

While the service decent the food wasn't all that. I'm sure it all depends on the hibachi chef but he put way too much soy sauce into the food, I had to drink so much water, afterwards. They used to be better.

Really delicious. Loved our server Anna. Great service with a smile. Thank you!
