Been here maybe 3 or 4 times. Every time has been very nice. The Chefs are very talented and funny. I recommend this

Atmosphere is nice, food is definitely not worth the price. “Miso” was basically packaged ramen, 3 pieces of lettuce and an up charge of $3 for fried rice? At a hibachi restaurant? Perhaps a half cup of veggies at best. Steamed rice was brought out cold. Server demanded utensils not be left on plates, never brought refills, etc. You go to hibachi for the experience and show, and you will not find that here.

The inside was unexpectedly cozy, whimsical and well decorated. The aesthetic and ambiance is well thought out. The staff was prompt and friendly while the sushi bar looked clean. The food definitely filled that craving for raw fishy goodness. They don’t have a large or fancy variety of sashimi/nigiri but the items that are offered are of good quality and taste. The itamae was gracious and made beautiful art with the chirashi don. It was much better than expected for a place like Valdosta and I will be coming back for more saba! ? I kinda wish they had uni or ōtoro/chūtoro but it not surprising they don’t, considering the area. ?

VERY rude staff. I’m visiting from out of town & heard this was a good food place especially for sushi. I arrived at 4p when they opened. Waited approx 10 mins to be seated. I was given a table that I did not like. I asked for a different table & was told no. I asked the hostess why I couldn’t have a different seat & she took/snatched the menu out of my hand & stated only this table or that one (which were both tables I didn’t like). I’ll never go back. Maybe she was having a bad day or rough start but it still doesn’t excuse the behavior! The chef stood there & watched!

Loved our cook but I got less food that everyone else - especially veggies which felt a bit rough being the person at the end. Salad dressing was delicious but barely any salad!

Food is always delicious when I go. I haven't been in a few years but tonight the food was amazing as per usual (hibachi grill) and you can't go wrong with dinner and a show.

Food was good. Server was nice and attentive. Cook (James) was very rude. May not ever return here for that reason.

Our cook couldn’t read the multiple orders messed up on 3 people’s orders at our table wasn’t entertaining at all the guy had to go get more food because he mis read the order put our daughters shrimp on a tray as if it was a mistake also did that with a lobster had to go get it again and recook for someone else then I told him she had shrimp he had to apologize, gave very small portions I had also done a to go order for my husband. He got more food to go than we did dining in. Over priced tremendously then our waitress gave herself a big tip which she barely checked on us was not worth the money at all we were going to go for her Birthday but definitely will be going somewhere else.

We went here a few years ago and it was really great. We live an hour away and it was nice to have quality flavor. Unfortunately, we did not have the same experience this time around. I'm not sure exactly why, but I think the cooks are part of the problem, but the flavor of the food is extremely heavy with soy. Also, the upcharges are a little ridiculous. It's like 3$ extra for fried rice, and they charge you 10$ if you sit at the hibachi table and don't order hibachi.... what if you want 4 sushi rolls and the rest of your family is eating hibachi? Do you really have to sit by yourself or pay extra to sit at the hibachi table? Tip is also automatically added...I don't mind this at all, and people who do are the reason why they have to do this in the first place. The place doesn't feel very clean or well maintained, though. Honestly, I could have forgiven everything, but the flavor of the food was lacking and the portions were not fairly distributed. I got a fraction of the veggies that the lady next to me got... and that's never happened... it was extremely noticeable to the point that the lady said something about it. The ginger dressing is atrocious. I don't know what they've changed, but it tastes like ginger mixed with soy sauce and that's it. The sushi was good, though, but I have no reason to go back for hibachi. We'll try a new place.

I eat out a lot and love my sushi and sashimi Yet this place here has a lot to be desired . Not a good bang for your buck . Was my second time going here . You would think the waitress in. Japanese restaurant would know what Sashimi is . Duh , raw fish ...

18% gratuity added to your bill right off the top. $10 added for each person that doesn’t eat so if you have a child that all they want is steam you have to pay $10 for your child and then a side order of steam rice which they won’t do. they do no special requests whatsoever, One of the girls at our table was allergic to mushrooms and onions. She was told well then she can just pick them out or just not get them. Extra vegetables with the meal Is almost $9. For two adults two kids to eat with gratuity $165 and then they expect an additional 20% to 25% tip on top of that plus none of their sushi has any prices so you don’t know what you’re paying you’re just ordering and praying the guy that paying too much for what you’re ordering. Will not be going back again even though food was great, Customer service and atmosphere sucked

did not have the best service. could not accommodate allergens, the ginger had chunks in it. The yum yum sauce tasted old and watery. There was a big language barrier and caused lots of frustration. Tipped themselves with a high service fee then asked for a tip afterwards. The grill guy did not talk or ask how we wanted our food. VERY SMALL PORTIONS!
