I love it but their brand I did not like. Their spring salad was pretty boring and it lacked complexity Miso soup typical uninventive They gave me a cucumber salad with crab that I really liked it came with my chiriashi My chiriashi : Presentation fantastic Quantity of fish fantastic The bed of rice was kind of cold. I would've preferred warmer fresh rice. I ordered fresh wasabi root It was a bit chunky. I'd prefer it more minced it's hard for me to get the right proportion on my sushi with a large chunk that was presented with I'd say it was diced not minced Honest, four stars Definitely not five due to the lack of complexity

Per usual, there's lots of seating around the grills that is perfect for big groups and parties. Our chef was so kind and offered to still do the fun teppanyaki tricks even though it was just us 2. I got the seafood combo and it was delightful. Comes with shrimp, calamari scallops, and salmon. My partner got the toro trio, which comes with chicken, teriyaki steak, and shrimp. Everyone who eats at teppanyaki also gets veggies and bacon fried rice. They are always so kind to leave out the bacon if that's not your jam. They'll just fry yours first! Lots of flavorful butter is used to grill everything, but just remind yourself teppanyaki is always a treat! Chef will ask if you like spicy or not and then will give you sauce accordingly. Sauce is always the best part for me! Not sure what they put in it, but I'm sure it's more butter with spices lol. One of my fav teppanyaki spots in town! This is the 2nd time I've been there & would come again :)

I really want to like this restaurant. So here's my first complaint that I noticed immediately. I…read moreordered the s Sangria at the bar, while we were waiting to be seated. The bartender gives me half a glass with a ton of ice. When we are finally seated at the table next to us, a young lady had the same drink as I and when it was served to her, it was filled almost to the brim. Why is that? Our server - we really wanted to like him but poor guy was all over the place. A 5:30pm reservation, we got drinks around 6pm, chef came out around 6:45pm and we didn't leave until 8pm. Our server mixed up tabs and actually charged the wrong amount on someone in our party ticket. It was a mess! The food was good though! But the customer service skills in the restaurant need to be ironed out

This place is quiet and laid back. No music playing and never packed the times I've come. Quick and…read morefriendly service. I have only come during lunch hour. The food is solid and good. Huge menu with a lot to choose from - I usually go for the bento boxes. The tempura isn't greasy but it's crunchy. Gyozas are good and fresh. The sushi I've tried has been tasty too. There's another side to the restaurant that I believe is the teppanyaki side. Haven't experienced it yet since I've only come for lunch. I'm wondering if they get a lot of business since it's so barren when I go. Hoping they get enough business because I do enjoy this restaurant!

Once we walked in we noticed it was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon, but nonetheless we weren't bothered or worried. We feel our experience will be all the more better with just us 2 in the restaurant. Either way, we're good, the food will speak for itself. We decided to sit at the sushi bar and glad we did! Great music selection and the sushi chefs were a blast to talk with. Their humor made our lunch even that more enjoyable. We definitely made some friends and looking forward to come back another time.
