Hibachi was entertaining but kinda loud and the food wasn't very good. If we come back again, we will try the dining room instead of hibachi.

I absolutely LOVE Kon. They have a huge selection of foods. I go often and can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. Their food (including sushi and sashimi) is excellent! They also make an excellent espresso martini! The staff is super friendly. I have certain places where I prefer to sit and they are always accommodating. The only issue I have is that I always want more food than I can eat. That's how good it is. My latest obsession is the Thai spicy chicken wings...I love them! If you sit near the hibachi room it can be a little noisy on a busy night but it's not bad. It's just people having a good time. If you want to sit further away just let them know but you must experience the hibachi at least once.

It was a good experience. Our server was great, the food was great. The downside was that our table was along the direct path to and from the hibachi room. So I felt like there was a constant parade of people, many of whom simply stared at us as they walked by. Of course this isn’t anything Kon could change without installing a separate entrance to the hibachi room.

Kon's Habachi is a great "family" experience. It's good food being cooked before your eyes, in a fun and interactive way! If you are looking for something different to do for a group gathering, birthday party etc. give Kon's Habachi a try.
