★★★★★ 5.0 David Burman · Feb 2026

Great food & the chefs even customized rolls for us. (If you want it spicy- they can make it SPICY! Also able to take off some spice for those of us with more WI palettes). Athena was a fantastic server even making the birthday meals an extra special treat! The bartenders were also very good with recommendations & sampling beers when we were undecided. Highly recommend! Also keep in mind there will likely be a longer wait time so be sure to plan for it on the weekend- it’s worth the wait.

Good experience with my son and his cousins. Service was good. The chef did a good job trying to engage the boys. They enjoyed it and ate all their food, except the vegetables of course.

I've been here quite a few times. The atmosphere is a bit dark and sometimes loud, bit it works well. The music in the bar is rather loud, and the lighting is very dim. The lighting in the dining room is low. The food is typically delicious! The food and the quality of the entertainment of the hibachi cooking is very dependent on your cook. If you get an experienced chef, it's amazing! If you get some one newer it is still pretty good, but you may not get all of the fun tricks or they may struggle to perform them. Even newer chefs will cook the food decently. My last trip was a first in which our group felt there was anything to really mention anything about. We felt there were more onions than zucchini by a lot. The portion of mushrooms felt much less than normal. I personally

★★★☆☆ 3.0 eri Rubio · Jan 2024

The food was good like usual and our chef Miguel was great but the reason for the 3 star service is for the server. She was nice but kept bumping into everything. She'd slam down a glass and it would clink into another glass and spill a little etc. Slamming things carelessly onto the table happened the entire duration of our meal. I understand it's extremely busy but our whole table noticed.
