The food was excellent! The atmosphere was even better! Our chef did an amazing job. I had the chicken and shrimp hibachi, and my husband had the chicken, steak, lobster, and shrimp hibachi. The website hasn't changed its closing hours to 9:30 from 10:30. We came in late, but everyone was accommodating, however, we did not know the change of hours until we started seeing the staff cleaning. We did not want to be the people who stayed after closing so we boxed up our leftovers and left. No one tried to rush us out and we were completely full.

Hidden charges. I was a of 2 but charged as a group because of how restaurant sitting. This was knew to me. I've been eating there for years and this was a first. I was there celebrating my friends bday, i told server, the servers did sing, but then we were chared for a piece of of cheese cake neither of us ordered. Be careful of their sneaky Hidden charged. My husband was charged twice on another time we visited.(we were reimbursed but it was a hassle ?)

2/ 25/24 currently here been waiting at the table for 10 min no one has came to take any kind of drink or food order. I should've known there was an issue when we had to wait 25 minutes for a table, but they said would take 10 along with the gentleman walking up to the hostess to try to pay his tab because nobody came back to take the man's money shortstaffed tell the manager to get out and get to work, don't come here it's horrible

The lady got to our table pretty quick and the cook but the food had absolutely no flavor from the scallops to the shrimp to the rice nothing. It's pretty bad when you have to salt your own food and put soy sauce in it to make it have flavor. My scallops were so overcooked they were like rubber and the shrimp was also. Rice was overcooked and so dry. We will not come again

We eat here 2-3x a year for my bday/fathers/… with my daughters. We always dig the steak/shrimp/chicken and the service is great! Such a fun atmosphere, they hibachi it up right in front of ya. Humorous chefs are cool. Been going her for 15 years. They work well with my daughter’s egg allergy too. Is my fave place to eat.

Food is good and reasonably priced. Be careful with sushi though, they say “tempura” is shrimp and always shrimp even though it is actually a method of preparing several different proteins.Parking: It’s a strip mall and there are other shops here so parking is not an easily stated option.

Came here for my birthday. Had a great cook, food was mediocre, but the waitress was horrible. I sat with nothing to drink for over 30 minutes and had to ask another waitress to get my waitress so I could get a refill. I had to get my own Togo boxes and had to go find the waitress to ask for my bill that had an automatic 20% gratuity that she definitely did not earn. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told he wasn't there. We live in Mandarin and drive all the way over here because we used to really enjoy this restaurant but the quality of the service has definitely declined. I can find somewhere else to spend my $200.00 next time. Super disappointed!!!!

This used to be one of my favorite places, but this is the second terrible and uncomfortable experience I have had if you are a person of color beware the first time I watched them overlook me and greet a white family although I was there waiting 15 minutes prior to them entering the building I had to insert myself, so I was not overlooked and luckily the family said she was here first, because they still tried to over talk me and speak to the other family first the second time the greeter was very rude. I was very gracious, very polite, she did not crack a smile cut me off and seemed to rush me out as I was picking up a to go order. It's very disheartening it makes you feel on comfortable and out of place I will no longer be supporting this business and I'm sure they will be happy to hear it as I feel they do not want people of color in their establishment. There was a literal look of disgust while I interacted with her it was awful.
