Place was very clean. Service was alittle slow due to pretty much only being 1 server. They had their kids running around the restaurant with a basket ball which I thought was kind of unprofessional. The food was delicious! I got the hibachi chicken with fried rice, my hubby got hibachi steak & shrimp. He also got sushi rolls. I will definitely go back for sure. Next time, I'll sit hibachi instead of table.

Both times i have gone it was a very fun experience. My kids loved it. The food is pretty good, the lunch prices are very reasonable, but the best part is when they cook the food in front of you. They involve the whole table and it is a very lively experience.

This was a great place to take my wife and daughters for an early evening dinner. We sat at one of the hibachi tables and our chef was good humored and interactive, he even got a smile out of our 16 year old who is usually too cool for such a public display. Of note, the grill items are single serving only so we ended up ordering a variety of proteins so that we could share them amongst our family at the plate level. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection and the calamari rings were our favorite of the appetizers we ordered. The atmosphere was light and family oriented. Great place overall.
