    Chicken Teriyaki Plate
    Kevin H.

    Man this was my first time at the stand. I didn't know what to expect. I was not disappointed. I will for sure be coming back. Easy to order competitive price. Most of all generous portions. Halfway through and full haha . Edwin was great. I'm excited to live close to such a cool spot. Thank y'all for the great dinner! Hot and Fresh:)

    Always exceeds our expectations. Best hibachi grill I've tried in the SFV. Meat is always tender & juicy. Rice is always delicious.

    Great food! I really appreciate the difference here from the one in San Francisco. They do some…read morethings the same and some different. I like the steak sauce better in LA although I don't know what makes it different. Maybe it's more spicy? Our chef, Juan, was on the money with the food. Absolutely delicious! We had great company too! The vibe tonight was amazing. So much energy so that everyone had a blast. Only thing I didn't like was that the prices when we got the bill differed from the menu. Not sure why that was and we didn't bother asking for an explanation. Our server Oliver was very efficient and had a super smile while serving. Good mannerisms. I've got a picture of the menu before we ate and noticed the bill didn't match. We ordered edamame, hot sake, & Hibachi Steak dinner. Parking is valet or you can park on street.

    **Absolutely terrible experience -- first time, huge disappointment (for a birthday no less).**…read more My friends and I went to this restaurant for the very first time today to celebrate my friend's birthday. We were genuinely excited--so excited, in fact, that we drove an hour and a half just to try something new. We made a reservation, told the host it was our first time, and even specifically asked to sit in the hibachi/cook area because we wanted to experience the show in front of us (and we wanted the birthday girl to have the best view). The host agreed and sat us in the middle seats for "perfect viewing." At first, the server had an attitude the entire time, but we tried to ignore it because we were still looking forward to the experience. That's when things got worse. We all ordered the same thing because the lunch package showed a variety of food, and we wanted a little of everything. The cook was actually friendly, and he was the only genuinely good part of the experience. But we immediately noticed he wasn't cooking our food. He was focused on the couple next to us--meanwhile, we were still sitting there waiting, confused and wondering why we hadn't gotten anything yet. Eventually, the cook tells us what we ordered comes from the back kitchen and he doesn't make any of our food. To be clear: **that is exactly why we asked to sit there.** We told the host it was our first time and asked for hibachi. We told the server too. We were excited to watch the chef and have the birthday experience. And somehow none of them communicated that our order would not be cooked at the hibachi table. No one warned us we were choosing something that came from a completely separate part of the restaurant. Why would we be seated in front of a chef who isn't cooking our food, and why would nobody think to tell us that before we ordered? We were awkwardly stuck waiting through everyone else's meal. The couple next to us ate first, and we were just sitting there the whole time like we were invisible. When our food finally arrived, we were already so frustrated that we didn't even want to enjoy it. At that point, we didn't even want our drinks anymore. The experience felt ruined--our appetite was gone. We left extremely disappointed, and honestly upset that we drove all that way and still ended up feeling like we barely ate. And the food wasn't what we expected either. Our rice was just plain white rice, while the couple next to us had the better fried rice, this is exactly what we assumed we ordered based on the lunch package and what we were watching in front of us. We barely ate, got everything packed up to go, and couldn't even finish our drinks. It felt like we wasted food, time, and money. What makes it even more insulting is the lack of communication. Three staff members knew it was our first time. None of them took even a moment to explain how the menu works or clarify that hibachi seating wouldn't apply to our order. Because if we known we would've ordered something completely different!! Then at the end, the server acted like it was no big deal and basically said, "Oh yeah, it's on the menu," like we were stupid for misunderstanding. But if it was that important, they could've explained it--especially since they knew it was our first visit and we were specifically requesting the hibachi experience. So yes--we paid the tab, left, and we were all extremely upset. We drove to another place afterward just to get fast food because we still didn't end up actually eating what we came for. I've never written a bad review about anything before, but today was honestly one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've ever had. If you want an actual hibachi show, just be careful--**because apparently the "hibachi seating" experience doesn't mean your food will be cooked in front of you.** And nobody bothered to tell us until after we already waited through the whole table experience. We later on google the menu and nowhere is it stated that the items we selected would be cooked somewhere else.

No overcooking theatrics. Just solid steak cooked with confidence. You taste the butter. You taste the fire. Simple. Effective. The spicy tuna roll is better than expected. Tuna fresh. Texture right. Spice balanced. Not drowning in sauce. Rice holds together without turning gummy. Clean bites. No slop. You finish the plate easily. Vegetable tempura comes out hot and light. Batter crisp. Not greasy. Veg still tastes like veg. Zucchini stays tender. Broccoli keeps bite. This is tempura that doesn't collapse five seconds after landing. Even the egg roll surprises. Crunchy shell. Filling seasoned well. Not an afterthought. You grab it early and don't regret it. Service keeps the pace moving. Friendly chefs. Easy banter. Staff checks in without hovering. Food comes out hot and timed right. No long lulls. No chaos. The room feels classic. Teppan grills. Flames popping. People watching their plates get built in real time. It's dinner and entertainment without trying too hard. It's giving... Benihana energy if everyone actually nailed their cues and the food didn't take a back seat.

    The fact that I live five minutes away from this open restaurant is amazing. I actually come here…read morefor years, but failed to do a review which sometimes happens unfortunately lol. However, I came there yesterday for dinner and it was wonderful. For my food, I had salmon nigiri, which was so fresh and good !! For my entree I had Salmon, with miso soup and double salad since I did not want rice. The cook make sure everything was cooked to perfection. It was really good and fresh and tender and so flavorful the salmon melted in my mouth. Since I only want mushrooms as my vegetables, that's all I pretty much have but the mushrooms were really good and seasoned right. Service was exceptional. The manager was beyond nice and amicable, and checked on us a whole entire time. He's a very generous man and very professional. The ambience is very nice spacious and a very nice area and they have open grill side and another side where you can order sushi and your drinks and a regular menu items. The drinks look really good and they have a good menu good choices of everything food and beverages. Will be back next week!
