Walking in it's really smoky but that is to be expected since it's hibach. I opted to sit in a booth rather than a seat to watch the cooks. Although I didn't sit with the cooks they sounded very friendly and funny it would be great outing for a birthday. The service was very quick and friendly. The sushi I had was the Firecracker Roll and it was a 100/10!!! It was not a small roll of sushi either. It was a lot and very good quality.

Food was so good. Relatively quick service even though it was a busy night. First visit but we will be back.

Came here on a whim. We didn't sit at the hibachi table, but grabbed a regular seat. I order the hibachi at the regular table and my husband some sushi and sashimi. He said his was very fresh tasted amazing. I enjoyed my hibachi, got double rice instead of veggies. The service was great, our server came to the table multiple times to check in. Definitely recommend trying.

Wonderful menu with a mix of a few Chinese dishes, sushi, variety of sushi rolls, teriyaki, hibachi, tempura and much more. Lots of dessert offerings too and beer and wine. I had the Mongolian steak bento which included a spring roll, pork gyoza, tempura vegetables, soup, salad, orange and a cookie. All very tasty but a little sweet for my taste. My husband had a Fall In Love roll with crab salad with a topping of eel. He thought it an excellent roll except he would have liked the rice more sticky. Wonderful service. Good clean bathrooms. We'll likely visit again.

Aye honestly I probably won't return here but y'all's food is good. But holy god don't put so much dressing on your salads. And also can you please change up the salad dressing. Good lord. 5 stars.
