    Tuna tataki and summer roll, delicious.
    Cassie C.

    I come here often for lunch, and it never disappoints. I love their sashimi shumai and yellow tail jalapeño Apps. I tried the tuna tataki App this time and it was great. Other favorite Apps are the spicy tuna bowl, treasure island and spicy tuna Cado, delicious. My favorite rolls are Ichiban roll, deluxe roll, summer roll, black dragon roll, and fire dragon roll. Definitely a great spot!

    I was in the mood for Chinese and ordered from this location. The order was called in. When I arrived, I parked in the large plaza lot. I walked in and told the man my name. My food was just about ready. When it came out I paid and left. I ordered the general tso shrimp. When I dug in, the food was good and filling. I had a good experience.

    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Charles T.

    This place admittedly has good days and bad days, I want to say that right off the bat. I've been here and been incredibly happy with my order and i've been here and have felt upset that I spent my money on it. On this specific trip, the food was good. I got the spicy tuna roll (if you ever go, get the wonderful roll, it's the best there), The Chicken Stick appetizer, and the Chicken with garlic sauce that I requested to be very spicy. The Spicy Tuna was good. It was not any better than good and it wasn't bad. Just good. The Chicken Sticks were solid. Sometimes places don't cook them well enough and the inside is still kind of watery, I hate that. They cooked them perfectly here. I also don't like when they add too much of the food dye to make them look like the Devil's Fingers or something...they didn't do that either. The Chicken with garlic sauce was a solid plate, but was not spicy. It was normal spicy and some people may have found it to be hot enough but I specifically asked them to make it really hot and it just wasn't. I also don't love the fried rice here, I never have. There isn't any "wok char" on it at all and it lacks flavor. Ichiban is good...there is better, but in the Poconos it's fairly middle of the road.

    Burnt and dry chicken sticks the worst went to the garbage waste of money

    Burnt chicken sticks charcoal burnt I have ordered them before never had this problem. How can you give this to a customer.

    Stopped by for late lunch and service was awesome, food was served hot and fast really good tasting, my daughter had fried rice and it came with a lot of onions the waiter told her next time let him know. So that's nice to know. We will come back

    So the set up there is very beautiful, and the food was fantastic. Yet I can not say the same for the service , the lady who sat us last night around 8pm had an attitude and was very rude. Then the cook he did his chef skills correct yet I have been to several other hibachi places and the chef is suppose to communicate with the people and kind of put on a little show for us . Meanwhile I do not even think he spoke once and we still gave him a tip because the food was great . I also did not like the fact the waitress brought out the soup and the salad at the same time then the chef started cooking , so I went ahead and asked the staff if they are closing soon because why the rush ? The waitress also was having an attitude when my fiancé was inquiring about rice ! Like come on ! It is your job lady. Hibachi is not a cheap dinner so when a group of 4 people are spending $130.00 without tips you think they would be more friendly, I guess not. Side note we weren't even served our noodles which is suppose to be in with the hibachi meals. I am only giving this restaurant three stars because the food was great and the set up and decor of the place was pretty and clean . Yet I am surprised they do not loose more customers due their horrible customer service skills . So next time I will not being going there !

    Ya boy done got hims3lf in a pickel dis time! This a caper at hi elvations in da pocono! Lemme tell…read moreu da tale n we will see wut da history books will rite. D-rock the concurrent will regale u wit a rich tapestry woven wit da threads of storytelling. We all kno that when the times get tough that easy times make tough times easier than when they wuz tough. The accident took a toll on my personalty from who I had been carefree n lovin 2 everyone knowin that da cosmic sauce we all dippin our wings in is made from a base of holy unity amongst all sentient beins. I let da memory I can't excape of my slingshot spinnin out n goin down da boatramp on Kelly drive by da row center n da battry stop worken n it twist my footback 180 degrees. I knew I had 2 get back to me. I had 2 seek what had not been sought. I had 2 go on a journey 2 where a man could dive deep within who he is n make the mental sojourn to explore the dark corner of da mind to expose da peace that each man strive 2 be. I knew me n my gurl wuz gonna have to head to da pocono for da Memorial Day weekend break so I could get some peace amongst the mountain scenery. I had da Italian ailment call FUNDZALOW (funds-are-low) n knew we couldn't swing a Airbnb bcuz I'm on a fixed income right now n my gurl spend all her extra money on Her DUI lawyer payment plan so we had 2 stay wit her dad n brother that have 2 lazy eyes. We sleep in his room when we stay there n he sleep on da couch n his sheets always be wild all cover in dog hair n who kno when they washed. If that wuz not bad enuff then when u go out 2 use the restroom in the nite he sleep facing the door wit his eyes open so it look like he always looked kind of at you or behind u since his eyes lazy. We sat by da river the first day but it wuz rainin n tough get Down by the water at Smithfield beach bcuz my foot twisted up somethin unholy. We got down there n just sat n stare at da rain drop makin ripples in da river. It make me think about how everythin me n my gurl wuz goin thru now was just a ripple from an event cause by a poor decision. We wuz caught in the ripple now. It let me see that the ripple don't go on forever. Eventually life smooth out. The surface wanna be smooth. I knew in that moment ya boy wuz gonna be AOK. Tough time don't last just tough people bro. I knew I had da gumption to better my situation. I believed again. My girl believed again. We knew that da future had in store 4 us and we realized that we just accidentally take da elevator to da basement but we on da way back up to da penthouse but this time wit more awareness of da responsibility that go along wit it. All this enlightening made ya boy have da hunger of 2 oxen. I knew I must feast n I knew I had 2 have the cuisine of my enlightened Buddhist breatheren. I knew the battle I must fight to get back on da rite track n the only meal for for the fuel I would need was that of the great general tso. This chilken was given me the power of great warriors before me that vanquished armies, natural disasters, n personal injury cases. I got da large. No fried rice just all chilken n brocoli. The sauce wuz as sweet as the breeze on my lips cruisin down Kelly drive on the Schuylkill in my slingshot. The brocoli remind the green tree tops swayin in da breeze. A perfect summer day second to no other. Me, my girl, da slingshot, Philadelphia, the album God's Favorite by Noreaga blasting from Da speakers. Heaven, nirvana, whatever u wanna call it. I knew it waited there 4 me all bcuz of this chiken. The meal was a microcosm of the universe in dat moment. It wuz all gonna be ok. 2 have desire is 2 have inherent suffering. U just gotta make sure it worth it. I found peace in dat mountain, that river, n that meal. Believe.

    I've been to this takeout spot countless times and just realized I never dropped a review. Today I…read moregrabbed some fantail shrimp, chicken lo mein (for my son), and the Dragon & Phoenix for myself. I don't like the fried rice at nearly any Chinese takeout spot in the area but the rice here most closely resembles NYC fried rice to me. The inside is fairly small with maybe 6 tables and the cleanliness is honestly what you'd expect from a Chinese takeout spot. So The Dragon and Phoenix is a little different here than I'm used to, but still good. I'm used to General Tso's Chicken with a spicy shrimp. This was General Tso's with a very basic flavored shrimp, maybe in a lobster sauce. I still enjoyed it, but it was just a bit of an unexpected twist. The fantail shrimp were a little overcooked as well but still enjoyable. Their fried rice and lo mein are always on point. This is definitely the spot I choose in this general area each time I want takeout, and I've been trying others to see if any will change that but so far none is up to the task.

The weekday dinner had lobsters and the weekend lunch had crayfish. We enjoyed all the food and the waitstaff was very attentive, they made quick rounds to collect plates and refill sodas.

The only thing I did not like was the wasabi, it looked neon green, the color of slimer from ghostbusters... it was looking too artificial. Their dessert/fruit table also has a wide selection and we had no issues whatsoever. The ice cream machine was kind of slow, I saw a lot of people had difficulty with the chocolate side of the machine. This is a great option to have out in the Poconos. We will alway return.

There is a nice fountain in front for ambiance. Some of the food was mislabeled or had no signage. There was some sushi which was fine, but no hibachi option. It was nice to have fruit options with dessert. There was a variety of meats, noodles, and soups. There wasn't a ton of variety, but it'll do the trick. Neither of us felt great after, but I can't tell if it's the quantity or quantity. The prices are a little cheaper during the week and during lunch where there is one flat rate on Sunday, so if you're going on one of those days, it may feel like better bang for your buck.
