   A lovely Christmas dinner for 6. Aside from issues with the diet soda machine, everything was excellent.

   The servers don’t tell you that there is an extra charge for the fried rice- they also add a “Service Charge” onto the bill which was over a 20% gratuity. If you don’t realize many will tip even more. They should be transparent with their charges before rather than after the fact.

   Lackluster at best. We were hoping for a fun hibachi show, but other than clapping, doing the onion volcano, and a rice heart, there wasn't much to see. He didn't try to toss the food into people's mouths or have people drink sake or water like all the other places do. The cooked food was decent, but I wasn't aware hibachi no longer includes fried rice and its $7 extra per person. We ordered sushi appetizer and it was bland and tasteless.

   I think that this establishment has really taken a step back in value for the price. Drinks, portions very small and prices very high. We’ve been going for years and probably will not return. Our chef wasn’t really into the experience and went through the motions.

   Cook didn’t have enough food for everyone’s appetizer. I ended up giving my daughter some of mine. He seemed to not care.
