it was about 45 minutes once we got to the table before we ate, The food was outstanding but the service was terrible. first ...asked for lemon for my tea. Never got it. Asked twice. Refills ...he refilled my glass with no ice. Asked for some more ice...never got it. If I go out to eat i do expect to get good service. If I get good service...I will leave a good tip. If I don't get good service I won't leave you a dime. Needless to say....I didn't leave him a thing. Several people at the table also commented on his service. Guess he was looking for some free money but he didn't get it from me. But the food is always great. Had a nice funny cook. He was great

I have eaten at many Japanese Steakhouses over the years, but this was my favorite. We had the BEST chef named Mozart !!! We were celebrating my son’s birthday and Mozart made us laugh so much! He really made it special. And to top It off the food was fresh and delicious.

We absolutely love this place! We've never once had even a mediocre experience here. The wait staff are always great, the chefs are always fun, and the food is always perfect. Easily the best value for your money.

Flavor wise the food was good but they were very skimpy on the portions . Especially compared to other hibachi restaurants in the area. Our waiter forgot to bring out the salads, barely gave us refills on water and forgot to tell the chef two of the guest at our table were plant based, the waiter also didn’t bring us out dinner utensils. The chef was more of the waiter, everything the waiter forgot he stopped cooking and grabbed it for our table . I think the waiter was doing very minimal and less because due to our large party there was already a gratuity that would be applied to the bill. So overall, very poor service, good food but very small portions.

The wait time at the table was rather lengthy, it seems that they may be short on staff. The front desk person during this visit was super! We had a horrible experience a few months ago with the people at the front desk and they literally ruined our celebration. Thankfully tonight was a much different experience!
