⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Wayne Martin
We are up in the area and stopped by. I am soooo glad that we did, we have been to a lot of hibachi restaurants around the USA and this place doesn’t disappoint. Definitely a 10 / 10 . Thank you for operating such a great business.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ben Gottlieb
Visited from out of town and I am glad we stopped in. We ended up eating here two nights of our trip. The atmosphere was great, the staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, and the food is amazing! The Kani Lovers Specialty roll was delicious and we are sad we will never be able to find a place that offers anything close where we live. Brandon, you’re crushing it, keep up the good work!

We had a party of 12, kids adults grandparents. They had two chefs at once, it a ton of fun, an amazing culinary spectacle that everyone enjoyed and laughed at.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Andrew Roosa-Decicco
Cozy and Delicious. Simply the food was fantastic and the service was spot on. If you've been to any hibachi place then you know what to expect but this is a great standard. We went for a double birthday and they were incredibly accommodating and even had these adorable hats for kids. Absolutely worth a trip for a party or just to get a nice meal to treat yourself. I had the steak and shrimp that came with soup and salad as well as an order of fried dumplings, everything was perfectly done.

UPDATED Third Visit.. Same great food quality, taste, hot and plenty of food. Waitress(Mallory) was wonderful. She handled the entire front room and was on top of everything. BEST Asian restaurant in the area. Previous:First time visit. Nice open, clean restaurant. Three of us dined on the non-hibachi side. Overall experience was very good (will be returning). Staff was all pleasant and greeted us on the way in and out. Server was perfect, pleasant, informative and prompt. We ordered Coconut Shrimp appetizer, veggie roll, shrimp and chicken dinners(noodles and rice). Coco Shrimp tasted great and sauce was a yummy coconut white sauce. Served salads and mushroom soup all good. Veggie roll was delicious and fresh. Dinners all tasty and not swimming in teriyaki sauce thankfully. Shrimp popped a little when biting(cooked perfect) and chicken pieces were tender and tasty. Noodles were perfect with enough sauce on them but not overly done either. All food was fresh, hot and cooked perfectly. Good size portions on all plates. Highly recommend this place. Nice quality food served fresh and presented well. Next visit we try Hibachi side as it looked like the guests were enjoying it. A welcome addition in the area.

I came for lunch, there was a short wait as the restaurant was quite busy (Friday 12:45) once seated we were waited on promptly. We ordered the spring rolls and each got a meal from the lunch hibachi. I ordered tofu, just because I like tofu but the waiter made sure to verify whether or not I am vegetarian. I really appreciated this. We got our food quickly and it was fresh and hot. Everything was delicious. The lunch prices are insanely cheap. The portions are huge! The bathrooms were clean! I'd like to come back and try eating at the hibachi next time.
