   For the money you spend, you might as well go to a place that will at least provide decent service. Our waitress forgot everything, remembered she forgot, and still closed our bill without giving us part of our order. Additionally, the spicy crunchy rice appetizers we ordered were really poor quality. The hibachi chefs were awesome. But that was about it. Last time at this place for us.

   The service was fine. The food was below average compared to other hibachi restaurants I’ve been to/compared to other restaurants in general. I ordered a medium rare steak, it was served well done. Honestly an underwhelming experience. A few of our stomach’s felt funny after eating. I didn’t hate my experience, but I would definitely never recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will never go back.

   Good food Ambience and menus are from 1972. People were nice and the taste of the food made up for it

   The overall experience was par. We had a party of 8 for a birthday celebration. Our server had forgot numerous things, including the dessert for the young birthday girl. The chef was not interactive and barely said a word to the party! In my eyes, that is part of what you pay for when dining hibachi. He also kept screwing up who got what meat, and how to prepare it. Not sure if it was his first few days or just not into doing his job. Super disappointing for what you paid for it! No need to go back there! Much better hibachi experiences around town!

   My experience there was nice but the thing is it was too noisy and too loud and the service was taking too long. We had to wait in the lobby for 10 to 15 minutes for our seat to open up.

    Just ok. Restaurant is old and kind of dingy, definitely needs some upgrades and TLC. The food was bland and somewhat tasteless. Won’t be going back.
