    Delicious food, but definitely busy! Good idea to book ahead and keep track of the time you spend eating. We weren't thrown out or anything, but I was told when I got there that there was another reservation after me.

    It’s a little divey, but i mean that in a good way! A hole in the wall with fantastic food and drinks and friendly service. The dishes are varied - meat, fish, fish and veggies on the grill, over noodles, or rice. Small plates, large entrees. Something for everyone!

    We were expecting hibachi with the chefs cooking in front of you which is why I’m giving it 4 stars because of our expectations. The food was good. Pretty tight with seating, you can hear your neighbors conversations.
