Came here for a small group get together. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Most of us ordered sushi and we all enjoyed our food. I forgot to take pictures of everything, but here are photos of just some of the foods we had. Lobster and crab Rangoons were so delicious 😋 I forgot to take photos of all the sushi rolls we got. And we ordered the lava cake and fried cheese cake for dessert- both were such a treat!

We had reservations on a friday night, when we arrived we had to wait about....2 minutes for the table to be cleaned. So no complaints there! My wife ordered two sushi rolls and thought they were really good. The Texas roll was very rich, so she could only eat a little of that one. I ordered the Koen Kirin, it came with soup, salad, vegetables, gyoza, rice and different meats. This is one of the meals that you cook your own food. Really neat concept but I got flustered trying to watch the food cooking, eat the food I had cooked, keep my raw meat utensils separate from cooked meat utensils. But, everything had good flavor. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, he definitely did a good job and helped answer any questions we had. I will definitely come back, but I'll probably order food

Such AMAZING food it was SOOO good!! The service was really good and the food was excellent!! We had meats that we grilled, pork belly, sirloin, kalbi and toro. Not only was the meat delicious but it's so fun to grill them yourself! We also ordered ramen, which was very good as well. Then the best part was the sushi!! My husband ordered The flaming tuna roll and the angry wife roll, he said both of them were really good but he preferred the flaming tuna roll. I don't like seafood or anything to do with the sea including seaweed, so I was thrilled to find out they had soy paper as well as non seafood sushi rolls! I got a tempura sweet potato roll with avocado and cream cheese with a sliced tomato on top 👌 it was so freaking good that i ordered another one to go!! The other roll is got had a

TERRIBLE. One word perfectly describes our Valentine’s Day experience at this restaurant. I normally don’t leave reviews, but this time I feel people deserve to know what they might experience here. I made a reservation two weeks in advance for 7:15 PM on Valentine’s Day. We arrived on time and were told it would be an hour and a half wait — despite having a reservation. Some couples left immediately, but we chose to stay because we understand how busy holidays can be. I worked at a family-owned restaurant for two years. I know firsthand how chaotic special nights can get. I’ve covered 15 tables alone on busy football weekends and still did my best to provide good service. I respect the service industry deeply. That’s why this review isn’t about being impatient — it’s about being treate

Came in on a slow Wednesday around 5. Our server Erica was amazing! She was very sweet and offered good menu recommendations. This was our first time using the grill, and she was more than happy to show us how to use it. Food tasted phenomenal, was fun to grill ourselves, and great appetizers. I would recommend trying the Happy Hour Grill preset menu order for first timers. A little bit of everything to figure out what you like. Great experience!
