Review summary

However, some note service delays and the need for interior updates. It's a great spot for celebrations, especially with accommodating staff for special occasions, though service varies.

    Slow to be seated at our table even with a reservation. They did a good job of honoring dietary restrictions (Gluten free and dairy free). Waitress was cheery but a bit absent minded. She had many tables to wait on. It took some time for our first course to arrive after we ordered. Have eaten here previously a number of years ago. It’s just not quite the same caliber of a place as it used to be.

    Too much noise, lack of ventilation, drink was too sweet, chicken was dry. Items on the menu were not available. I was overcharged and then the server said I would get a refund in 7-10 days. They charged me for items the people next to me ordered.

    I allowed 2 hours for dinner, thinking that was plenty of time for us to eat and get to a show we had tickets for 2 blocks away. Despite letting the hostess know we had theater tickets, we were seated 45 minutes after our reservation time. The restaurant was full and wait staff were working really hard, but service was a little slow. We missed the show because of the late seating.

    Had a 4:45 reservation but didn't get seated at the hibachi table until almost 5:45. Missed our 7pm basketball game tip off.

    First impression is that the place needs a deep cleaning. Smells like old fryer oil. Torn carpeting and greasy handrails. Staff not face to face greeting and shouted/waved directions from behind the bar. Not welcoming at all. Short wait for our table, even though there was only 1 other table engaged at the time we arrived. Long wait for water and drinks order. (10 min). ordered and were very adamant about the one shellfish allergy only to have the chef plop down all of the shrimp right in front of the person we pointed out as allergic. the food was served in starts and spurts with the sushi entree arriving 10 mins before the disjointed other entrees where the veg came 5 min before the rice which came 10 min after the beef and chicken. Not able to put together the logic of the service order, but it seemed like 3 different people were making 3 different parts of the meal, the fried rice came after everything else was consumed. The flattop was turned on for 30 mins before the venthood was, so we all got smoked and went home smelling like we worked a shift at the fryer. After the dishes were cleared and the bill brought, Ice cream was offered, as part of the meal. We already had our coats on at that point. We still tipped well, but for 475 bucks We would go somewhere else next time.

    Worst hibachi experience! Not worth the $150 bill. Waited an hour after reservation to be seated another 45 min to food. Waiter was great and friendly. Food was awful for price. Soba noodles guy cooked for 16 seconds on grill and they were cold and hard. Cooke was 0 entertaining and gave me well done vs medium steak. Manager gave me hardly a discount after I asked for something to be taken off due to the disappointment . She made excuses of them being busy. I’m sorry you don’t get to charge $49 a plate and serve quickly cooked crappy unseasoned food.
