Service was very good. Hibachi food was good, the shrimp were especially yummy. Steak could have been cooked much less but flavor was right on. Fun experience, especially for a special occasion.

Hi All, I apologize that it feels like a hot minute since I've reviewed . Life has been LIFING lately and I'm back to it! Thanks for sticking around lol! Let's get into it rq.. I love hibatchi. Like really and truly love hibatchi and yes sometimes it can feel a bit silly with the dinner performance but if you think about it from the perspective of you get to sit next to a stranger and 8/10 times laugh and have a good time is truly an experience . I've never been here before but I've heard good things. I popped in about 5:30 on Saturday night and they were BUSY but that didn't stop us (my friend and I ) from being sat right away. I really enjoyed how very beautiful the koi pond is ! I usually get the same thing everytime I go with maybe a variety of proteins. This time wasn't any different . We both ordered the Kobe Royal which is a filet mignon and chicken . This comes with the salad and soup as well. This entree is 34.95. I also ordered the Bahama Iced Tea and WHEW.... It really reminded me of a refined Blue Mofo lol. It had rum, tequila, vodka, triple sec,gin and blue curaçao. Sooooo good! Had it been a different type of vibe for me, I would've had two lol. My friend can never say no to a good beer and ordered a Sapporo (which is an Asian beer) Everthing was absolutely delicious and wonderful! Our sever was courteous and efficient and our Chef did an amazing job keeping us entertained. I really can't into how wonderful the portions are as well. I've paid much more for less food. I also enjoyed the fried rice or white rice option. I also enjoyed that this came with a sorbet or ice cream as a palate cleanser. When it was all said and done, it was around 120.00 for two people . For me, I had two meals worth of leftovers! It was 100% worth it! Go give them a holler and treat yo self! I hope you're all are doing well and making yourselves and your happiness a priority! Until next time! Happy and healthy eating friends!

Didn't know this spot was teppanyaki / hibachi before coming. Ended up sharing a caterpillar roll along with a deluxe combo of scallop, salmon, filet mignon. We each got a salad with French dressing and our own bowl of soup, and we also had noodles that came with the combo. 1 shrimp each as an appetizer and it was really fresh. All of the meats were cooked perfectly and they were flavorful, really enjoyed it. Noodles were chewy and tasty too. So much food, really flavorful but no spicy sauce unfortunately. Experience was cool, was thrown shrimp into my mouth. Sushi wasn't very good, came with way too much rice, but the teppanyaki was pretty great. Came out to be a bit more than $100 post-tax and they automatically included 18% tip which is quite expensive for a meal but definitely had enough food to last at least another meal each.
