Awesome atmosphere. Legitimately out of this world service. So quick! I’ve never gotten a beer so quickly after ordering it. Great beer, too.Our server was so friendly and caring wish I would remember his name! Food was so goooood. Got the fried rice with siracha (think it’s Ganbei fried rice) and never had better! Will be back often so glad we check this out tonight

My husband, daughter, and I went out for what we thought would be a nice dinner. It wasn’t the typical hibachi we are used to where you sit around the Chef while he puts on a show and food goes flying into your mouth. Instead, it was booth seating with the hibachi cooked in the kitchen. No problem, we sat at a the booth. The restaurant was extremely hot, I asked the waitress if they could do something about the heat, she said she had been asking for weeks for them to fix it. Again, no problem ,I just ordered some ice water. We ordered sushi, the hibachi lobster and steak dinner which came with choice of soup, and salad. After about 20 minutes our soup and “salad” came. Salad is in quotations because it was more like soup, it was half filled with liquid at the bottom of the bowl, not sure if it was the watered down dressing or water from the soggy lettuce. About 15 minutes go by and we received our hibachi entree. While she was serving it to us she spilled my husbands beer all over the table and into my orangtini, they couldn’t replace my drink because they ran out of oranges, which was odd because oranges are a part of this cuisine as there were oranges in my hibachi plate. So at this point we are wondering where our sushi is as typically it comes before the meal, not after like a dessert. My husband took his first bite when he was pushed abruptly by the man sitting behind him because the seat in the booth we were sitting in was not attached to the wall nor the floor, the man behind him kept moving the seat repeatedly. My husband couldn’t even finish his meal, so we asked for boxes to go. Our daughter at this point is getting anxious to leave, so they went outside while I waited for the check, no surprise that it took another 10 minutes for them to bring it and another 10 for her to collect the payment. To make matters worse 20 minutes later I had explosive diarrhea, that lasted all night! Worst dinner experience I have ever had! If I could give negative stars, I would.

Was pleasantly surprised about this place. The orange chicken was very good, as well as the sesame chicken. My wife did find the chicken fried rice to be a bit bland though. It got busy very quickly, but the service was still great. I do recommend trying this place out.
