We are never let down when we come. We were lucky enough to come around 12:30, right before the rush. Once again, our sushi was so good and super filling. I swear they’re making the portions larger each time we come.
⚠️ DO NOT GO HERE ⚠️After the new owners took over this place has turned to pretty much dog food. I ordered shrimp and steak fried rice. It came with 3 pieces of shrimp and 5-6 small pieces of steak. I ordered a SIDE of shrimp and steak to counter act the lack luster of meat on the dish. They gave me double in a SIDE. This place is on the downhill big time.⚠️DO NOT GO HERE⚠️
My babe & I celebrating our birthdays when you come ask for Melissa!! Forgot pics of food & dessert was awesome!!! We went again today just at yummy!

Positive comments highlight delicious desserts like strawberry cheesecake rolls, attentive staff, superb onion soup, and exceptional sushi. On the other hand, negative feedback mentions small portion sizes of meat in dishes like shrimp and steak fried rice, bland flavors requiring additional seasoning by customers, and issues with spoiled tuna in to-go orders.

We were referred here. It’s only reason we tried it. We ordered steak hibachi and shrimp hibachi. The portions were tiny. Especially compared to other places. The rice was fried and hardly any eggs in the rice. Steak was tiny bits and tasted like tenderized steaks. I literally had to season my food and add an egg to it when I made it home. The yum yum sauce tasted like salad dressing so I’m assuming they gave us extra salad dressing instead of yum yum sauce. The Miso soup came in a tiny styrofoam container and was cloudy. I didn’t eat. The shrimp had the same portion size and blandness. I honestly see why it’s cheaper than other hibachi places. There’s no quality to the food and the food portions are tiny. Staff/Hostess were welcoming and our food was prepared on time. I will never return or recommend this place.
Friendly server, hibachi was decent as always and a decent price at lunch time. Onion soup was cold.. I had a sushi order to-go. Got home and the tuna was spoiled. I will be back though.
