My boyfriend and I went there as a Valentines date and had great service. The staff was very friendly and our cook was great. The food was phenomenal! You get more than enough food for your money.

Got the shrimp bento box and it was so gross. Rubbery shrimp, lackluster salad, crunchy rice, meh vegetables.

My family and I loved it. We have been here about 4 times and this experience was probably our best. The service was fantastic and our chef was so personable and seasoned the food really well. We had a great time and will be back soon.

The shrimp was hard . The steak did not seem like it was even NY strip like advertised.Not sure if it's low quality or I just had a bad experience. For the price I just would not go back.Kid-friendliness: Yes

I would have given 5 stars but lately they've been really inconsistent. Maybe it's only when you order delivery but they wont put all the ingredients that are supposed to be in a roll. For example, the Three Amigos roll is really good and is supposed to come with jalapeño (It's REALLY GOOD when they put it) but they never put that ingredient in it anymore... I wish they would. Please put jalapeño in it! This was the differentiating ingredient so when the restaurant doesn't put it in then what's the point?

Felt like a rushed hibachi experience, like they ran through the dinner and were waiting for us to leave, all in under an hour... Was good food and Kora was a good chef, just felt like a standard hibachi experience... Nothing

This place is awesome! The seating is fast and efficient. Three staff members made sure that we were oriented while we waited to order. The atmosphere is silly and fun.The proteins were all cooked to perfection. Try the 5 sushi appetizer, all of the fish melts in your mouth.Kid-friendliness: At the hibachi, the cook made sure to make the kids feel safe and have fun.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I feel obligated to share what happened to my wife and I last night here. We drove over an hour and while I was parking, she went in to put our name on the list for a Hibachi table. The owner came from behind the bar and told her she was a college student and wouldn’t seat us in the Hibachi area. She explained to him that her husband was parking and would be right in. He said, “Do as your told!” She insisted and got us seated. We ordered the Emperor’s entree for two. Pricey but we don’t splurge often. The cook was too busy flirting with the young girls seated next to us to properly cook the food! Steak and shrimp were overcooked and scallops were still raw! We were supposed to get lobster with ours and the cook gave it to the girl he was making feel uncomfortable! We were rushed to eat and to make it worse, the owner came to our table and stared us down. What started as a celebration, turned into an ugly memory for us!!
