★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kaylie Powell · Mar 2026

My Mom and I came here for our birthday, and while the food and atmosphere was great, the service was not. We had an older lady come take our order but couldn’t seem to understand simple words and make fun of the fact we had an accent to where she couldn’t understand. My Mom ordered water and she couldn’t seem to understand what that was, I asked what kind of hot tea they had and she seemed inconvenienced to tell me… which was one kind anyway. My Mom then decided she wanted hot tea as well and the woman got an attitude about it. Then my Dad, bless his heart wanting to make it special, told her it was our birthdays. No acknowledgment and just ignored him. The food, AMAZING. The chef, AMAZING. I hate to give such a poor score based on one person, but they make the first impression and the fi

I would give this place five stars, All the employees here are absolutely amazing and very nice.! The only reason I’m giving such low of stars because of the one employee that they have, It’s a young girl that helps run the place, She’s very rude and definitely doesn’t have a friend friendly demeanor to her. I really do not like dealing with her When I come in, and I really think that she should be in the back versus dealing with customers.. Her customer service is just not good especially when you’re a customer that spends quite a bit of money and tips well. Again, All the other employees are very welcoming and pleasant Aunt to deal with.

I went here with my sister and her husband unplanned, not knowing that our dinner would take them to closing time. That said, we were seated promptly which was surprising on a Friday night. Just an FYI, they will not seat you until your entire party is present. Since we were a party of 3, we had other diners at our table as typical for a teppanyaki restaurant. The atmosphere is loud and exciting. I loved it, but i can understand that it may not be for everyone. One of the staff members was going around to larger parties with a tambourine hyping them up which was fun. Teppanyaki is all about a fun and engaging dining experience, so I enjoyed all of this. We started with come drinks. I had a katate punch which was very enjoyable. I also had a sip of the love potion #9 my sister ordered whi

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kathleen Fitzgerald · Mar 2025

We were celebrating our birthdays..We were sat in n area that was too small cramped for the 2 of us..we never got our salads or refills on drinks..portions were small compared to other steakhouses n for price. The sauce they use on filet n chicken is sickenly sweet..I dont like sweet food unless it's dessert. Atmosphere is busy..noisey..no dividers between parties. We were given our salads at the end to take home after letting server know we never recd them with our dinner. After leaving n going home..we had to recover...digestive system was not happy.
