★★★★☆ 4.0 Jacqi Levy · Mar 2026

Fun staff, good food. This restaurant could use a deep clean and a facelift. The music was fine at first, but then they cranked it up so it was difficult to visit with others at our hibachi table. Very annoying.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tyenne Mention · Jan 2025

First time having hibachi. Our chef was top tier. He was so entertaining and our food was amazing. Our server was super kind and attentive and we had a large group. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

My husband and I were looking for a spot to eat. I wanted sushi and he wanted protein. He found this place, so we gave it a try. We were sat right away, but understandably, the hibachi chef didn't come out until the grill was ready. The chef was HILARIOUS. I forgot his name but my sushi came out as the chef was beginning. The food was cooked to order and was delicious. Recommend here if you're looking for good food. I would not recommend bringing out-of-control kids here, the grills are hot and there's not much space for running.

3.8⭐️ First time trying and I want to go back to dine in! We’ve driven past this place so many times and I’ve wanted to give it a try. Wasn’t in the mood to dine in today, so we ordered to go. I got a volcano roll, and shrimp tempura roll. My husband got a cucumber salad and a butterfly roll. It was all very good! The inside of the restaurant was cute (sorry my samurai pic is blurry) and I do love some hibachi, so I will have to go dine in at some point soon. The food was really good, highly recommend, but I’m not sure how their service is because we didn’t dine in, so that’s why I gave 3.8 stars. I’ll update when we do though!

Love the dark atmosphere, makes a busy place still feel intimate. Our chef was entertaining and the mixed drinks were good. The portions are very large for what you pay for. You won’t leave hungry!
