And a quick search from Yelp reminded me that we were here last time! I guess they are still attractive. This place felt like it was run by the Vietnamese, as all hosts and servers spoke Vietnamese to each other. The menu is as extensive as before, 2 full pages of rolls! One page is the standard ones, like the Lion King, sumo rolls, 49er's, and the other page is their special rolls. Unlike last time that we tried a bunch of their special appetizers (and they are still the same on the menu), we tried the rolls and bento this time and I think I like that more. We ordered the Teena roll, the Gilbert roll, an order of salmon roe sushi, a side order of chicken fried rice, and a tempura bento. The rolls tasted good, soft and slightly chewy in the mouth with a blend of all the sashimi and crab meat and sticky Japanese rice. The tempura bento was sumptuous! It came with a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of white rice, 4 or 5 pieces of gyoza, a salad, cucumber, a pre-cut orange, and 8 or 9 pieces of tempura of a variety. My least favorite is probably the salmon roe sushi as I wish the roes look bigger and more orange-y. Service was great. Although we were told they were busy and we might have to wait a bit, food started to come in less than 5 minutes! We didn't get a water refill but the glass of water was big. Dirty dishes were taken away timely too. I've been abused by the Bay Area exorbitant prices for a long time, it was such a pleasure to see rolls priced at $15. So overall, it was a good dinner in town.

In short: For the price this is a great resteraunt. The banana tempura desert was the stand out…read moredish for me. I think they may want to consider raising their prices to afford some upkeep on their premises, as it is aging. I ran across this place because it happened to be in the same parking lot as my primary destination, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have visited Benihanas before and this place had the same general vibe, but I had a better experience here than any Benihana I've been to. I had the NY steak entree which comes which a choice of soup (I had miso), a small salad, grilled shrimp appetizer, and I upgrade my steamed rice to fried rice for a few bucks. I also had the tempura banana with ice cream desert. I arrived alone. Having never been here I was impressed by the little pond and waterfall with stream and koi fish. The whole building had an air of what was once a premium setting but had succumbed to age and poor maintenence. I see potential here, but it would require a heavy financial investment at this time to repair and clean. I was sat with a group of a couple family's that had just returned from a beach trip. They were all very polite and nice, but the smell of coconut sunscreen became a feature of my dining experience. The cook put on a bit of a spectacle, lighting onions on fire and flipping food around. All of the food tasted good, not amazing, but I have no complaints. It was well worth the very reasonable price. The stand out part of my meal was the simple tempuraed banana with ice cream desert - I may return just for this!

The cumulative 3 stars is accurate…read more First, I must warn all my Yelpers, avoid ordering any sushi, not only is the quality of fish low but the pieces are small and it is not cheap. They do have a full bar with tap Japanese beer, it was nice to wait and have a cocktail while you are waiting for your table. Now, the food is very expensive for the quantity and quality that you get. If you factor in the food, the chef show and the environment, it's OK. See the current pictures with the current prices. Five people dining there easily will be around $200. It's kid friendly, they would probably get the biggest kick out of this place.

We asked to be seated outside since the weather was nice and the guy without hesitating gladly got the table cloth and set up our table by their patio. It didnt take long before our server took our order for drinks and appetizer. We usually enjoy our appetizer first before ordering our main entrees but by this time we did see that more and more people were coming in. We didnt want to have to wait a very long time for our order due to how busy they were so we decided to get our main entrees. We ended up getting: Jalapeno Bomb (appetizer): it came with 4 pieces of jalapeños with cream cheese and spicy tuna inside. The jalapeños were spicy but the flavor was there. We finished this right away. Albacore Lovers (his order): it had a lot of crispy garlic flakes which I loved. It has a slice of jalapeno on top which was spicy and left my mouth burning a little bit. Not a big deal. We dont usually order albacore and to my surprise I really liked this one. Volcano (my order): this was under their baked rolls. It had salmon outside and spicy tuna inside. It was good but it was a lot for me. The service here is top notch. Servers would always walk around to see if you need anything or want to order more. The prices are very reasonable too. We will definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

The space is cozy and clearly a family-run restaurant, thoughtfully decorated with a calming ambiance. The staff was friendly, attentive, and communicative. The kitchen was a bit backed up due to a recent rush of tables, but we were in no hurry and didn't mind at all. What stood out was that our waitress proactively let us know before we ordered, and later brought out a delicious complimentary gyoza dish, unprompted. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented, but the Mango Roll and Black Snapper were standouts for me. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely stop by again next time we're passing through.

She asked us if we had ever been there before, and we said no. She offered to give us the spiel of how everything works but it seemed pretty straight forward. There were three menus - All You Can Eat, Adventures in Niku, and A la Cart. We opted for the AYCE premium at $50/person. We were told we can order 2 meats per person, and then as many sides as we wanted when we put in an order. We ordered: Garlic edamame, cheese corn, cucumbers, vegetable spring rolls, fried pork gyoza dumplings, toro beef, angus beef rib, New York steak, pork belly, shishito peppers, and a few other meat options that I can't remember from the AYCE menu. A la cart we ordered the garlic rice. From the Adventures in Niku menu we got the $2.50 Kirin drafts. My personal favorites were the Angus Beef Rib, garlic edamame, garlic fried rice, and lots and lots of s'mores! We were very impressed with our server because she was very present and not on autopilot. For example, when we put in our first order we ordered the garlic fried rice and a two steamed white rices. I believe when a different employee dropped off our meats, she said she was going to get the white rice but never came back. My partner and I didn't think anything of it because the garlic fried rice was so large, and we can always order more steamed rice if we really needed it. About halfway into our meal, our server looks at our food and goes "didn't you order 2 steamed rices in addition to the garlic fried rice?!" I said yes and she immediately went to go get it. It was really nice to see that she wasn't just putting orders in as she heard them, but she was actually fully present and listening to what the order was and then doing mental checks to see if we had received everything. She was fantastic! In addition to our server, I noticed that there were bussers who would walk around looking for empty plates to remove. This really helped with keeping our table as empty as possible for all the food that we ordered. Overall, the food was something fun and different than we're used to. However, the stand out for me were the friendliness and efficiency from all the employees.

Dear Mr. T, I am…read morewriting to express my disappointment regarding an incident that occurred at your restaurant yesterday evening. First, I would like to say that my family and I have dined at your restaurant on several occasions and have always had positive experiences. We have enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service, which is why the experience we had last night was particularly disappointing. My family and I visited your establishment again and ordered from the à la carte menu. After we had finished most of our meal and paid our bill, some members of our party, including my brothers, were still enjoying their sake and finishing their drinks. To our surprise, a staff member approached us and asked us to leave the restaurant. While I understand that it was a busy evening and that there may have been other customers waiting for tables, I found it inappropriate and unprofessional to be asked to leave when we were still consuming items we had legitimately purchased. We did not order from an all-you-can-eat menu, which typically has a clearly stated time limit. As paying customers dining from the regular menu, we reasonably expected to be allowed to finish our food and beverages without feeling rushed or pressured to leave. What was most disappointing was the manner in which the situation was handled. Hospitality should include treating guests with courtesy and respect, regardless of how busy the restaurant may be. Being asked to leave while still finishing our drinks and foods left us feeling unwelcome and diminished what would otherwise have been an enjoyable dining experience. I hope you will address this matter with your staff and reinforce the importance of professional customer service and respectful communication. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I would appreciate your acknowledgment of this complaint and any information regarding how this matter will be addressed. Sincerely, Carla

First of all, they accepted a reservation. Doesn't sound like a big deal, except most of the restaurants where we live do not. It just makes it more convenient. We arrived a bit early and were asked to wait until the table was ready. They don't seat in this restaurant unless they have full chairs at the griddle, but they manage people well. We were seated right on time. Our server found us right away for drinks, and our chef soon showed up and began cooking. Like all Teppan restaurants, he did a show while he cooked our food. He was very personable and all of the food was cooked perfectly. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The only weird thing was no chopsticks! Forks were at the table, and while I didn't ask, I think they will provide them if you do. Because teppan is often sliced in pieces, it's always easier to eat with chopsticks. At any rate, service was good, food was good and all had a good time.
