★★★★☆ 4.0 Xinning Gu (Fay) · Dec 2025

Celebrated my partner’s birthday there. The atmosphere was great. The chef was super fun and skilled. Food was not bad, and the portion was surprisingly big.

Cocktails are too sweet. The chicken pieces in Chicken yakiudon tasted like it was made long time ago and noodles were just stir fried n served. The chicken was very chewy n rubbery. The sushi rolls also didn’t stand out. I couldn’t taste eel in the rolls. I liked shrimp tempura and veg tempura. Miso soup and noodle broth are well made. For the price paid, it could have been a better experience.

Great food, and great service. I enjoyed the dinner at the hibachi table and had a wonderful chef that kept us entertained.

★★★★★ 5.0 Zoey Webb · Feb 2026

My friends and I had such a great experience here! The food was great as always, but what made the night was the warm and charismatic staff. Shout-out to Xander at the bar, and Nick, who was very accommodating of our last minute party changes when we walked in with a party of 8. The waitress was also super kind and skilled, I believe her name was Calliope! Hope to be returning soon :)

Great experience for the whole family. We never have issues going here. Consistent when it comes to good food. It gets pretty pricey so we only go once or twice a year. They do charge you for soda refills, stick to water! I guess you pay for the hibachi experience! They do get pretty busy so try to make a reservation before going.
