This place was great! We chose this restaurant while on travel and wasn't sure what we were going to get. We were relieved to find the food was great and we got quick service walking past a lobby full of people. We got to order quickly since we did not want to have the traditional hibachi cook/chef prepare everything in front of us.

The food is flavorful and the service is excellent and the ambiance is very nice. Lunchtime is the best time to go because of the lunch special and it's not so busy.

The food is always good. The service for dine-in and take out has never been a problem for me. I've never had a problem with my orders being correct. Some of the cooks are very entertaining. Some try there best and do a good job, but they aren't as fun as others. The only thing I think needs improvement is probably the politeness of the staff. They've never been rude or disrespectful, but there are a few employees who never really seem that happy to be there. I understand it, though, so I'm never upset about it. My biggest priority is the food and quality of the service.

Gave this restaurant a second chance. Last year we ate here. The cook at the table did nothing to make it a pleasant experience. But we went back tonight for our granddaughter birthday. The cook we had was so GREAT, made us laugh and we had fun, eating dinner Tonight the food tasted really yummy. My husband even enjoyed the evening.

Enjoyable experience, good food, pleasant staff, fair prices. The entire staff was Japanese, seems like a big extended family, including teenagers bussing the tables. Service was prompt and our waitress was available for refills, and prompt with bringing take home boxes and checks at the end. We each had the Samurai combo which is filet mignon and lobster. I didn't think you could get medium rare with this kind of cooking but the chef asked everyone getting filet how they want it, and he did our medium rare perfectly. The soup was nothing special, just a broth but the salad was delicious, fresh and crisp with amazing dressing. Chef put on a great show and everyone was happy. I had the feeling he was smiling too, but sadly I couldn't tell as all the chefs were muzzled with those ridiculous masks. It's a shame the management doesn't put an end to that. Automatic minus one star for that. The portions were generous and tasted great. I liked watching the plate fill up little by little. The pyrotechnics were spectacular. He did the onion volcano to my delight. I have not seen the onion volcano in many a year. Two filet/lobster meals, 3 glasses of wine, one sake and one soda, with tip $117. The outside of the restaurant could really stand a face-lift. Inside is getting a little worn, but acceptable. The focus is the meal preparation and presentation so I was not studying ambiance. Sake is a good choice for the Japanese hibachi experience.

This place is great. We love it. Great food and good family time. They have a great menu with lots of options. A huge sushi menu too. The table service is great and prompt and pretty impressive with how busy they are.

Our meal here was very satisfying and entertaining. Service was above average receiving refills without having to ask. I got the grilled chicken while my wife enjoyed the steak. Portions were plentiful and tasty. Just a very nice evening!

We picked up takeout for lunch. I ordered the sashimi and sushi lunch. The nigiri was a little on the small side, but the fish was fresh and tasty. The only roll it came with was California roll, which is cost effective for them, but a little disappointing for me. The pieces of salmon sashimi were just right. Wrapping the red snapper sashimi around sliced cucumber was a nice touch. The California roll was quite tasty though, one of the best I've had in a long time. The salad was typical iceberg with some carrot, and cabbage. The salad dressing was a creamy version of the standard ginger dressing. It was a little disappointing though, with not a lot of flavor. I prefer the more traditional sushi joint ginger dressing. The miso soup was really good though, a nice ratio of tofu and seaweed. I'd like to visit again and try to dine in next time.

While the menu features a variety of options, it’s important to note that the vegetarian offerings are limited. However, what the menu lacks in vegetarian diversity, it makes up for in its stellar sushi and traditional Japanese entrees.

I was particularly impressed by the signature rolls that not only burst with flavor but also present beautifully—a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
