Our second trip here and my son picked this place as his birthday dinner. It was delicious. The chef was very entertaining. The food is very tasty. The waitress always made sure we had drinks and at the end they brought my son a piece of cheesecake with a candle!

I am local and have been eating here for years. I don't know how they do it, but the sushi is ALWAYS fresh and well prepared. If you ask VERY nicely, you might talk them into preparing you an "off-menu" item. If you can pull it off, you won't be disappointed!

This was the worst hibachi style restaurant Ive eaten in. They're sauce (one) is terrible and the vegetables weren't cooked well. It was a terrific disappointment. Even the ginger salad dressing was awful.

This place is almost always a must stop for us. We always request Yung to cook for us as he is hilarious. Where else can you get Hibachi cooked by a welder? The food is always perfect and the service is great. Food is quick and delicious. Going back in a few weeks and we definitely plan to eat here... More

The hibachi chef was absolutely hilarious and did a great job keeping us entertained. He managed to overcook several of our entrees, not by a lot but by enough. Some of the sushi was good, and some of it was just ok. The staff was attentive and our server did a fantastic job keeping up with us. Not the worst... More

This was fun! The service and food were great! The interaction between the hibachi chef and my teenage son was hilarious! My main fear was in this kind of setting, you can't pick and choose your table mates. At 6:00 on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, we went in with absolutely no wait and sat as a family alone....

Good service. Great food. Decor was a little dated, but our chef and server made up for that. Will come back!
