    Service was slow, we had reservations at 7:30 and our chef didn’t start cooking until 9p. Food was decent, prices were good.

    Rude cook. Calling guest big backs during the service based on the amount of food they ordered

    This place is rundown. Not the same at all. Food was okay but not worth money.

    I would like to think that this place was the place to go for a good hibachi dinner. I believe that title has diluted over the years. The beer was warm and getting one took about 20 minutes each. Our appetizer came late. The rice was not well cooked as it still had clumps. The cook underestimated how many shrimps he would need so my partner and I were left without shrimp. He had to go back to get some and the rush forced them to be undercooked. They forgot that our dinner included dessert so when I reminded them it took a while to get as well and they only had one choice. Sorry, I won’t be coming back here.

    Place looked run down a the server that we had was kinda rude. Had an attitude when we told her that we were still waiting on drinks. My family of 5 revived both the soup and the salads while the family of three sitting at the same hibachi table did not. She told the hostess about the issue, was first told that they were waiting for the salad to be made…okay…second time she was told they have no more salad…5 minutes later the table across from us revived a full table of salads and soups….right. The chef that we had was very new so no fault to him. I will complain that when you come to theses places and spend over $200 you expect the show. Our chef was too inexperienced to provide said show. Server got our order wrong as well and still tried to charge us for items we did not receive. I will not be back.

    Our soup was served cold. The salad was drowned in dressing, but the hibachi was delicious and the cook was entertaining
