   I had not been to this restaurant probably in over 10 years, and it does not look like they did any updates on it. Compared to newer Hibachi restaurants with more reasonable prices, the food portion was small. Normally when I do Hibachi, I have plenty leftover. I had no leftovers here. Our chef and server were good.

   We've been coming here on our birthday for over 20 years and it NEVER disappoints. My daughter has been the chef 3 times, and it's time we do that again. Love this place

   Got here at noon and was probably 1 of 3 tables. Very quiet and nice. The service was great. The workers were nice. We had a party of 7. The food was amazing, a little too much salt on a few items, but overall great filet mignon, that was the best part of my selection. The lobster was good. I would definitely recommend.

   Always a fun place to celebrate. I wish they still included dessert since the pouches have gone up.

   We enjoyed the food and drinks, hibachi chef was very entertaining. This is a great place to celebrate a birthday, they stored our cake in the back and even gave us a picture. The service was good up until the end, the server seemed to think she was entitled to a bigger tip after putting the receipt on the table and pointing out the suggested amount, when she saw we gave 15% she made a face which I found to be very rude! Not to mention, we were seated nearly an hour after our reservation time.

   We had to wait for a table. Chicken was a little dry and the hibachi menu different than what is on the website

    Even with a reservation the wait time was just shy of an hour wait.
