Great atmosphere with delicious sushi and impressive hibachi. Service was attentive but slightly slow. Perfect for a casual night out with friends or family.

We had the feast for 2 and it was delicious! We were very satisfied! We do wish you had egg yoke sauce not just yum yum sauce!!!! We'll be back!

Love the sushi here it is not bad priced, for these rolls they ranged from $6-8 each and tasted amazing. The service is fast and friendly. We sat on the regular table side but they do have hibachi shows.love it here for a quick sushi run or a sit down dinner.

Went here to day with coworkers for lunch, we all enjoyed our meals, I had the filet and found it tender, flavored well and the rice was very good. The veggies were also tasty. The hibachi chef was very entertaining. We had fun, the atmosphere was good and they did not rush us out, we were able to talk and laugh without feeling rushed.

Love this place. It's a must visit when I come to see my family. I love the hibachi and the mixed drinks are always delicious. Can't beat a meal with a little show. The service is always top notch. The vibe is laid back.

First time visit. Had the box lunch item. Service was good and food was OK, but nothing special. Next time we go, we will try the hibachi lunch. That is always more fun and generally better food.

Love the separation of the hibachi and dining room here. You aren't overwhelmed with the smells and sounds and can enjoy sushi at the bar in peace. We stopped in for a few basic rolls and gyoza. The tempura shrimp roll was double stuffed and huge! The specialty rolls were a bit pricey but I'm eyeing the Hawaiian for my next visit.

Great food, good service, stopped in for my friend's birthday and ordered a spicy tuna crunchy roll, which isn't on their menu but it's essentially spicy tuna and panko bread crumbs. They were awesome about it and made it anyway. I also ordered a lava roll, which tasted just as good. Only two things I noticed about their suishi, the wasabi wasn't all that hot/spicy and the sushi was a bit warm once served. I prefer my sushi cold. The hibachi meal tasted great the food was cooked to order. A bit heavy on their sauces but I feel that's how most people like it. The chef did do shots of saki which I have never experienced before so that was fun. I ordered the steak and shrimp and had no complaints.
