We have been looking for a good Japanese restaurant where the Sushi is fresh and good. We found it here! Visited late afternoon, it was busy, however we were seated immediately. The service was great, attentive, and the food was excellent. You can always tell how fresh something is by how few ingredients, the Seaweed Salad is the very best we have ever eaten. We would have ordered a second portion [although the serving size was more than enough] if we'd not had other appetizers arriving. We ordered the Tempura appetizer, which was light and flavorful. We selected two special sushi rolls and a regular sushi roll, all three were excellent, super fresh fish, flavorful rice, excellent presentation and service. Furthermore, we will absolutely be going back to this Japanese restaurant, maybe have the Hibachi next time along with the sushi. So happy to have found an excellent Japanese restaurant!!

DISAPPOINTED —- GOT STOMACH PROBLEMS from scallops at hibachi bar. I had shrimp and scallops. My wife and her sister had steak and shrimp. I shared some scallops with wife. We both got sick, but her sister did not.Conclusion—- scallops were either undercooked or tainted. Previous visits were great. Not this time. Not going back

Amazing food! Had the filet mignon and shrimp! As well as a couple tasty LIITs! Our hibachi chef seemed like maybe he had a long day, but overall would be back again!

Quite a disappointment. We came for valentines dinner and found her meal was so bland, no flavor and chicken was rubber. No waitstaff returned for 20 plus minutes we had to summond help. At that point we returned it. The waitress did not come back for a while so we elected not to order anything else for her. They brought us our bill with a 10 dollar discount off her meal that we returned.Aside from the meal, we had people next to us put their little dog on their table, appearantly they were friends of the store mgmt and waitresses came and petted the dog on the table.

We’ve done the hibachi cooked in front of you and just sat in a booth and ordered. The hibachi cooked in front of you is fun and entertaining with a group. Either way the food is amazing and always delicious. Service is always spot on. Highly recommend.
