Update: this place needs a revamp so bad it is soooooo dated. It has gone downhill big time. Everything is dirty. Everything. Our plates had soot and oil on them. You can feel the caked up grease on everything. The bathrooms are so dirty. The fried rice always comes out hard and burnt. For the amount that they charge they need to renovate that entire place. They are stuck in the early 2000's.Honestly, you go for the show. The food is meh. It took over an hour for the chef to come out to start the mains. The fried rice soup and salad are the best part everything after that is whatever.
We hadn't been here in a long time, but a birthday reward enticed us in!! We had a wonderful evening! The whole concept of being seated with people you don't know may give a person pause to consider not going here, but honestly, that is one of the things that makes this restaurant a great, unique experience. The waitstaff & chef were personable and the meal was outstanding. This restaurant scores high on the 3 big ingredients to a great dining experience: Great food, exceptional staff, and classy atmosphere. I am so glad to get re-acquainted with this quality establishment.

I'm here for my daughters birthday. The girl was so rude, MacKenzie is a front girl checking you in. She's so damn rude. Do you think I can't spend my 600 for dinner tonight ANYWHERE?? The way she talked to my wife, was so rude, I'm amazed.

Food was great. A short wait for a table. Waitress and chef were great.Kid-friendliness: He was the table entertainment.Lot of fun. He lo Ed the chef performance.
The food is great, but the service really excelled this visit! Our waitress was super attentive, and our chef, Erick, was the absolute best. When I go get hibachi, I look forward to the fun atmosphere, and most of what makes it fun is the interaction with the chef. Erick was attentive, polite, and made conversation - the whole table was laughing and having fun. If you go to this location, please request Erick! He is the best!

Currently sitting at the table, had to throw in my experience. Had Erick take care of us this evening, and I must say, he is phenomenal!!! As my girl and I sat here waiting to get started, I was looking around and seeing other tables and the interactions I observed were very regular. Silence from the chef, conversations between the guests. Erick provided a much more involved and unique experience for our entire table. Not only was the food amazing, but his personality and interactions with e eryone at the table made the entire experience exponentially more enjoyable. I definitely intend to request him mext time!!
The chef Gypsy was amazing! His food was delicious and was very entertaining. Will definitely request to have him again next time we come!
