I felt like I was starring in an episode of Extreme Carbohydrate Consumption. Fish? Barely saw it. There was fish on the sushi. The ambiance? Let's just say it's about as exciting as the waiting room at a DMV. The highlight of the night was watching a large party in the hibachi section having the time of their lives having sake sprayed on their faces, while I tried to figure out if my waiter thought I was invisible or just a huge inconvenience. It was my second time here, and once again, service was as enthusiastic as a sloth on vacation. But hey, AYCE sushi options are limited around here, so I guess I'll come prepared next time--with a miniature trash can for all the extra rice.

They kept my Dasher informed so the service was excellent. The Gyoza was excellent, and the Chicken - filet mignon Hibachi was well beyond my expectation. I did not expect the full meal- salad, Miso Soup, noodles AND rice. I ordered Yummy sauce of course- because how can you eat Hibachi without it?? Everything was outstanding. I will definitely be ordering again!! I can't speak to ambiance, but I am sure it's lovely. I can't wait for next time! Such a treat! Don't mind the picture- I didn't want to even take the lid off before I took it. So well packaged!!

It's not authentic Japanese, it's an interpretation of Japanese by Chinese workers and Cooks. Also, Chinese service isn't great and the waiter here isn't attentive and a bit too casual for my taste. The food itself is just acceptable, and for the price not great. The atmosphere also still is pretty weak, and the restaurant is small. It's sort of almost like a hole on the wall. On the West Coast, I've eaten at over 30 authentic Japanese restaurants, and for those of you who aren't Japanese restaurant or sushi aficionados... This food is probably fine. If you know we're good, Japanese food is, don't come here and frankly you may need to drive to Boston to get it.

Confirmed. Approved. Rounds for 3 Cold, refreshing Sapporo was flowing too. Given that hibachi rooms are usually a full-volume symphony of knives, fire, and birthday chants (in just over 2 hrs, we enjoyed 4 gongs!) -- I was pleasantly surprised. Even without sound-absorbing decor or cozy furniture, the noise level stayed lively but not chaotic. No shouting across the table, no sensory overload. A win. Our chef brought the right mix of skill and personality (entertaining without trying too hard), our server was on it, and drinks showed up consistently and on time -- which, let's be honest, is half the battle. Officially found a go-to outside of Manchester for sushi and hibachi. Cheers to good food, good company, and Saki shoots, but safely.

We sat by the bar area with several televisions facing us. The noise level was average. To start with, their watermelon Mai Tai is a masterpiece--so delicious. They have a sushi roll special: when you buy two, you get one free. Very nice rolls. The highlight was the Chinese dishes. Their chicken with cashew nuts was flavorful and had fresh vegetables. Their sky pork fried rice was a work of art, including spare ribs. I would drive back to this place for this rice alone. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. Then Steve stopped by and engaged us in conversation and made us feel like distinguished guests. He then asked us if we had tried their Japanese crab rangoon, and we said we hadn't. He responded that he was going to provide us a complimentary sample. It was a very unique dish, and we will be coming back for more. At the end of our meal, they also provided a warm towel. This place provides a five-star treatment.

For an appetizer, I got seaweed salad which was good, but a little overdressed with sesame oil. For my main, I ordered salmon sashimi and it was perfection. The right temp, very fresh, excellent texture and flavor. I also ordered the dynamite roll which is expertly balanced - sweet/savory, soft/crispy, awesome flavor and texture. I would come back for that roll alone. At $15.50 per roll, it's not cheap, but it's 100% worth the cost. The don curry was also really good and my friend said she'd come back for this dish any time she's in town. She actually ordered curry to try to recreate this at home while we were waiting for the check. Service was fast and friendly. We have nothing but great things to say about it. Next time we will try hibachi.

The menu is extensive ranging from sushi, hot pot, hibachi and even ramen. Since the goal for the day was hot pot, that was whah we opted for. I always like to try their watermelon slushes but was not a fan of theirs as it was partially real water the rest was artificial syrup. As much as I wanted to enjoy it I just couldn't get over the fake after taste that would be left in my mouth. Our broths were half Tom yum and beef tomato. Being a part of four, we ordered the beef lovers and seafood supreme plates along with the included two plates of veggies. The complementary veggies included corn, Napa cabbage, bok choy, daikon and tomatoes. I'm a huge fan of needing a crunch when eating, so we ordered extra sides of enoki mushroom and corn. Overall, I had a good experience. Because they were severely understaffed, it took an extra 30 minutes to leave to get the check and pay. They were still very nice when they were able to get back to us and completed each request for napkins, water refills, and extra drinks. Would come again!

Sawa had a decent Yelp rating (and was essentially the only place we could walk to), so we decided to give it a try. It has a large bar, traditional table seating and Hibachi steakhouse style seating, it's a fairly large place. It also projects a traditional Japanese Steakhouse vibe. Since we were dining at an off time, there was only one other patron in view. They have an expansive Asian menu and we ordered: Salmon Dinner - 5pcs of salmon sushi & spicy salmon roll (with salad) Asian Fried Rice with Chicken Scallion Pancake Gyoza -Japanese pan fried pork dumpling 2 Green Tea Total with Tip: $78 How expansive is the menu? If you search for Salmon on their online menu, you get 47 hits! Service was good, then again we were essentially on our own. The Salmon was good, not the best I've ever had, but tasty. The Fried Rice was also tasty, but very salty. The Scallion Pancakes were crispy and nicely cooked, we really liked these. And the Gyoza was very tasty, but should have been crisper. Overall, a very enjoyable "Linner" and a 4-star dining experience. I would return here if in the area.
