    This place doesn't look like much from outside, but the inside is a different story. Inside is very elegant, not to much noise and the staff is very attentive and come by quite often to make sure you got everything you need. During our visit, we had the Meat Lovers BBQ Course Meal. The meats are very flavorful and tender, they also have a wide variety of meats you can order a la carte. Overall a 8.5/10 experience, I felt that we got good value for the price of the BBQ Course ($50 per Person) .

    Went here for a birthday dinner and it was just what we were looking for. It was fun, our hibachi chef was very entertaining and engaging, and the food was plentiful and delicious. We were even in a separate “party” room with only one other group in the room, which was nice to have our space, especially when it came to dessert and gifts and singing happy birthday. The restaurant was very nice and accommodating, and I appreciated it that they even allow you to bring in your own cake from outside. All of the staff was very accommodating. And my only complaint about the evening is that the wait staff could have been a little more attentive. I had to go find someone for drink refills at one point. Other than that, everything was great.
