   I wanted to use the restroom so I arrived earlier than my reservation time. Hostess will try to seat you if you come too early so make sure you stick to your time if important. I was looking for the hibachi, but the sushi caught my eye. I wanted to clarify if the amaebi on the menu was shrimp nigiri with fried shrimp heads. Some restaurants serve it incorrectly. The server didn't seem to know much about sushi and was wondering if I meant shrimp tempura. This made me hesitant to order any raw fish, but I felt like going for the basic tekka hosomaki would be a safe bet. And a good gauge of freshness overall. This wasn't on the menu, but server offered to relay what I was looking for to the chef. I was surprisingly satisfied with the quality of tuna. Definitely would order again if I come back. The cooking performance was great as expected. Chef was funny and quick-witted. We shared some laughs. There was a bit of a mix up with the fried rice as I specifically ordered no egg. This was a pro overall as the other customers at my table benefited from eating my share of fried rice. My own fried rice came out separately. Tasted great! As expected. I ordered a filet mignon and lobster with a side of shrimp. Shrimp was tasty and filet mignon perfect. Lobster was burnt and definitely overcooked. It was sitting on the actual hot spots of the grill for way too long. If this is how it normally is I'd personally just skip the lobster all-together regardless of the burning. Texture was hard and it was not tasty the way lobster should be. The veggies were cooked just fine. Overall fine experience.

   We had to wait for a bit because it was just the two of us, but it was SO worth the wait. The food O M G! It was SO good! Best ribeye steak I've EVER had! These tepanyaki chefs know what they're doing! And the portion sizes are HUGE. Everyone I saw leaving, left with a take away box. It was a bit expensive but we've decided THAT this place was going to be our #1 pick for special occasion dining.

   Experience was great but the food we ordered was a bit salty. We ordered the NY steak with scallops, filet mignon with lobster, NY steak with shrimp.

   Worst hibachi experience ever. Chicken, shrimp, scallops rubbery. General lack of flavoring on meats two people $166.00 no alcohol either. Don’t waste your money.

    We’ve gone several times but lately it seemed things have gone down hill. The first few times right after this location opened, entrees were cooked just as they should and delicious so we started to return a lot for random dinners. Since then we’ve noticed that each time we’ve visited , one of our dishes would just be so bad and too overcooked. For example: I ordered scallops and shrimp which was served LAST after the steak and chicken. These should be off the grill first since it doesn’t take long for either to cook. By the time it was served the scallops and the shrimp was so rubbery and overdone. It was almost inedible.
