Our group of 4 coworkers was told we could be "squeezed into" a hibachi table or we could elect to eat in the dining room. So we ate in the dining room and ordered off the non hibachi menu. The table was cool looking, we were tucking into an alcove which I could imagine being perfect for a girls night out. Staff was kind and accommodating with a food request and special requested tofu instead of the animal protein choices in the curry dish. The heat of the dish was in that perfect spot where it's the max spice you can enjoy before it's too uncomfortable and you worry for your intestinal health. Also had a tamago (egg omelette) sashimi order to start. That was tasty.

We made reservations for a certain time. We were seated an hour and a half past our reservation time. We did say something and they gave us a bottle of wine which we appreciated. They are a very friendly staff. I don't think they should take reservations though because this happened to us before here. We were with others so we had a couple of drinks and just chilled. The bar has very limited space but the bartender was super friendly and kept us happy. The hibachi experience is always fun and they have the best chefs and ours was exceptional. So fun! The food is good. I got my usual shrimp. The shrimp is a nice size and plentiful. Soup, salad, noodles, rice and veggies. Delicious. Others got the steak. Cooked to perfection. We all had enough to bring home and have for lunch the next day. Great restaurant which is evident by the super long wait time!

Very friendly hibachi chef. The koi pond inside adds really nice ambiance & the food was super tasty. :) Will be back again soon

My girlfriend and I enjoyed this place! The food was amazing! They had swordfish as an option on their Hibachi menu and it was delicious! The service was great acknowledging all our needs! The decor suited the restaurant very well with simple sophistication! Definitely would go back!

We love going here and sitting at their Hibachi tables. The entertainment from their cooks are wonderful and they love to involve you in their process. Love the Sake shots. They love it when you bring in kids and they love to get them involved. Best place for an entertaining dining experience.
