Food was ok.. when you order sea scallops you expect a plate full of full size scallops not one or 2 sliced into thin slivers and burned on the grill and then charge market price. Drinks were good but with all the ice in such a thin glass we might as well be ordering testube shots. You cannot charge for a drink and then give the customer almost no liquid. The business model needs to be reviewed, the place is always empty. Its not a good look. Its dark and dank like blind people work there. Brighten the place up, enough with the vampire cave look. Its a great spot, but needs some new ideas and whats up with the staff that just stand and stare at the customers table? give that guy a spray bottle and go wash the filthy windows..

This has become my local spot that I've gone to in the past 2 years... everything I've eaten here is really good and always consistent. The only issue is the lack of personality by the servers... very blah and almost automated typical server questions and nothing else... like ever. Like I said this has been my local spot for 2 years but I go to other spots for a more livelier experience. If you come here any day of the week you're guaranteed seating anywhere as this place is more of a takeout restaurant than anything else most likely do to the service. That's literally the main reason I come is knowing the fact that I'll always have a bar seat and the drinks and food will be good.

Their party boat selection was delicious. We also had the grilled squid, edamame and an additional vegetarian roll for our toddler. Very nice staff. Very brisk take out business too.Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian rolls available.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs.

Had a real nice one. Great food, friendly staff, not like the people who worked there when it was Friendy's. There was even a kid who zoomed by like sonic the hedgehog. Perfect location near a McDonald's so I was able to grab a diet coke, 2 big macs, large fry, and chocolate shake for the ride home. If I had looser pants I would have grabbed a mcflurry as well. Will definitely go back.

This is generally our Hibachi and sushi take out spot! They do have in-house dining and a bar but not actual chef-driven hibachi experience. The food is consistently good and sushi fresh.

I really feel like this place is a diamond in the rough for sure! Great food with decent prices. It's is right down the street from me and I feel dumb for not trying it for so long. I definitely recommend. The only thing is the service. It's not

I ordered food from here last night and I regret it soooo much! All of the portions were off as if it was a kid’s meal. The noodles were sticking together and it tasted just awful! My steak was chopped in mini tiny pieces. It looks like they only gave just a scoop of rice! This food gave me a stomachache and I regret eating Yamato

Service was terrible. I ordered a drink with rum & was given Malibu coconut without specification, I hate coconut. I wanted another drink with vodka & was yelled at while being informed that it would be made the same way as the first drink with Malibu. I asked why & she said that's just how she makes it. After this, she cut off all questions we had & yelled that she was going to put our food order in & slammed our menus down only to go to the back and say a racial slur under her breath. It was not busy or backed up so I was confused by her frustration. I would never recommend this restaurant.

Second time ordering from here and I think it'll be my last. First time I got Pad Thai, it was a just okay. Today I tried the lunch chicken and vegetables - chicken was dry and stringy, small portion of rice included and everything was bland except for salt....it was all very salty. There are other options in the area so I will stick with those.
