    Was very good. Noisy but that comes from the atmosphere and Hibachi grill. Came home smelling of it though so better exhaust might be needed.

    Food was delicious but it was delivered to the table in an odd way. Soup came out then some main plates and appetizers came out later in the meal. Just seemed like a strange way to serve. Servers were slow in refilling water glasses. For a table of four, it would have been easier to leave a bottle of water on the table. The servers were were nice, though, and cannot complain about them. Definitely worth going back again!

    Disappointing given the other reviews. Service was bad, we had a reservation but they gave us a dirty table with leftovers from the previous patrons, and they expected us to drink the water that was already on the table. It took also quite some time until they’d take our orders. The food was so-so, stuff like nigiri and sashimi, and especially the uni tasted not fresh. I guess this place caters to the “rainbow roll” fake sushi crap crowds.

    Service could improve significantly probably by adding an additional server. It took a long time for service. Otherwise, everything else was very good. We would definitely go again and hopefully service would be better.
