My husband got a mixed drink that was pretty good. I usually get chicken hibachi and I ordered Crazy Horse rolls but i wasn't all that excited about them. They were okay but always great to try new things
Have eaten there many, many times. Never had a bad experience... Consistently, a great dining experience... Sushi is too beautiful to eat, but do it anyway because it is amazing!
The food was very good!!. And our waitress Ashley was very sweet and helpful. And the chef was very kind and funny.
Our family celebrated birthdays (2 family members have birthdays a few days apart). It was an expected hibachi experiences nothing eye popping, but fun nonetheless. The food was good but also was as expected. Still a “recommendable” place.
Went for lunch on a weekday. No wait at all. Service was good. We sat at a table- not at the hibachi grill (15% gratuity is added to the bill when sitting at the grill). The sushi is made fresh, to order. The Bento Box is large and filling. The 4 stars instead of 5 is the tempura/ fried items were a little on the greasy side. They have a nice bar, if you’re looking for adult beverages.
Freshest, most delicious sushi I can remember having, ever. I had the lunch special of soup, salad w/house ginger dressing, and two sushi rolls for approx $12. I was full after the soup and salad, but once I tried the sushi, I couldn't stop. I had the Philadelphia and spicy crab rolls and they were great choices. My daughter had the California roll, and she was also very pleased. So why 4 stars? The music was loud (which increased the volume of everyone talking over it) and none of the workers ever smiled or showed any signs of being friendly. It was good enough to go back anyway.
