    Salad that comes with hibachi dinner
    Gloria L.

    The first thing I have to say is, you need to get the Sakura Pizza! This made the review go from 4 to 5 stars! It's a scallion pancake with salmon, tuna, kani salad, and seaweed salad all drizzled with eel sauce. When I tell you that it's soooo good, trust me! I want to go back just for that! We both got hibachi dinner - chicken and steak combo and surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon). You first get started with a salad, a typical ginger sauce. This was even more basic than what you usually see because it was just iceberg lettuce and the dressing. The soup was also pretty subpar because the mushroom weren't cooked just raw mushroom tossed into the soup. These are just an add on, so I don't really care about it. The hibachi entree is what we need to focus on. The filet mignon was so tender and melted in your mouth. I was really surprised by the quality of the meat, even the sirloin steak was tender (obviously not as much as the filet). The lobster was nice and buttery, and the veggies were nicely cooked. I loved the flavor of the fried rice too! The chef was very entertaining, definitely made adult jokes (penis shaped fried rice, slapping meat, etc.) But our table was all adults so not sure if this applies to all shows. The drinks are very very strong. The scorpion bowl is for one and it was still huge. Others at the table go the fish bowl for 2 and they loved it. It came with an entire bottle of Corona. Overall, it was a nice experience! Make sure to get the Sakura pizza, you won't regret it!

    Fishbowl for 2

    I cannot rave about my experience here enough. We went on a Saturday night with 7 people in our party. Initially we had called ahead knowing that there was no availability at another local hibachi place and decided to just walk in with our big party. The owner was kind enough to squeeze us in even though they were busy and had no open reservations. He told us he could seat us and help us if we could eat between a certain time which I was perfectly fine with. The food is always top notch! Phenomenal show for hibachi with flavorful food and even stronger drinks. I would recommend the fishbowl to share with friends!! I absolutely loved it. If you are looking for a place with great sushi and hibachi than this is your spot!!

    Chicken katsu
    Adrieli B.

    Sigh.. I live in Vegas and was down here in Nashua for few days, order to go from this place. I wouldn't recommend this place. Order a chicken katsu, that normally comes with rice, salad, miso soup, 4/6 California sushi, veggies and tempura. However At this place I had to order everything separately. The phone conversation to place the order was confusing. Went to pick my order 25 mints after. The miso didn't taste fresh, the chicken looked kinda raw ‍. The rice tasted like jasmin rice. The California roll was ok. Ordered some steam broccoli that tasted ok as well. I would encourage the chef to be more attentive with their food. Not because it's a to go order they should send with out reviewing if the order is cooked properly.

    Food was great! Sashimi was fresh! Waiter was attentive! Great drinks! Great price! Definitely will come back.

    Came back for lunch, dinner menus brought out at 1:00pm during lunch hours. Great food but if you have a lunch menu available you should offer to customers not hope they order off the more expensive menu by default.

    Spicy Tuna Maki
    Catherine M.

    My sister gets take out from here all the time so we decided to go for dinner one night. I had a spicy tuna maki and the udon noodles. I was going to get the crispy pad tai, but our sever did not recommend it. There wasn't really anyone in the restaurant and I would like to go back for hibachi.

    Chef special roll options
    Fred T.

    Had some great chefs rolls, spicy and tasty. The Pad Thai was OK, could have used a little more sauce and while it had a peanut taste would have been much better with some chopped peanuts added. Service was fast and food came out promptly. Oh, I forgot I got calamari fried this time, it was good, sort of like onion rings but with nice sized squid rings. I might try the raw (unfried?) version next time as I like that too. The Hibachi tables in the back were pretty busy and that's usually a fun time, just have to get there at the right time as it looked crowded.

    Man, do I feel like a friggin' dingus! Driving up to the location of this lovely establishment…read moreproved to be nothing shy of slightly misguided. I blame Google Maps for this (not the restaurant) because it had me turn directly into the EXIT lane! Yeah. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Couldn't do a three point turn. Couldn't just reverse out of there and try again. So, I sheepishly drove my car at a snail's pace up the wrong way whilst veering as far to the right side as I could. Passed like 3 cars. Yep. I'll likely beat myself up over that one for years to come. Anyways, welcome to my Prime at Sky Meadow review! :D So, wifey and I share the same birth month. Every year, we choose a bougie restaurant to have what we call a combined birthday dinner together. Tired of always going to Ruth's Chris every other year, we decided to see what the locale had to offer. One thing led to another and...we ended up booking a res at Prime. Walking in, we're immediately greeted with an aura of elegance. The entrance consists of a grand standing lobby featuring a self playing piano, adding to the opulent atmosphere. We were able to get a table within mere seconds after they verified our reservation. The dining room LOOKS nice and has a great view, from what I understand (it was dark that evening, so we couldn't enjoy the view). Too bad I can't say the same for the acoustics. Out of the many fine dining restaurants I've visited in my life, Prime may possibly be one of the noisiest. I think it's because the tables are too close together. Which means you can almost hear entire conversations at the table next to yours. It's why I never travel in public without at least one pair of earbuds. Misophoniacs UNITE!! XD Now, I'd like to give a shout out to the waitress who took care of us that evening (I really wish I didn't suck with names so much). Service was stellar, overall. After receiving our drinks, we ordered the following.. Appetizers: Got the crab cake and clam chowder. Now, I just need to mention...our waitress had us at, "it's pure crab, no breadcrumbs". Both our eyes lit up as I said, "Yup. We'll take it!". Guys. I gotta tell ya....not a lot of restaurants can make a crab cake properly. Yet, Prime nails it! This thing was f#*!ing delicious! I dare say it may possibly be the greatest crab cake one can buy anywhere in the state of NH. And I will stand by that claim until or unless I discover better elsewhere. The clam chowder is in a league of its own. I often say how the very best chowders are the ones you don't have to add any additional seasoning to. This one totally slaps! Creamy, savory, made with REAL fresh clams. The cheesy bread they give on the side pairs brilliantly with the chowder as well. Solid 10 out of 10 for both apps! Mains: Wifey and I stuck with our favorites, getting a filet and ribeye, respectively. Describing the taste of these should be brief, since they seem to season all their steaks the same way. While the temperatures were absolutely spot-on, they could have used a bit more seasoning for our preference. However, we didn't see the need to send them back and just sprinkled some salt over the steak instead. Ch'yeah! Forgot to mention...this is one of the few fine dining restaurants that actually leaves the salt and pepper shakers on the table. Inconceivable! :o Got the lobster mac & cheese as the sharable side. And, uh....I think we were totally spoiled by RC's version of this. Because what Prime does here is....unique. The cheese (which I STILL cannot identify yet) was so mild, I truly believe the chefs were going for a subtle flavor. If done properly, it can actually give a delectable impression to the palate. Few extra dashes of salt, the whole thing was quite tasty! My one complaint here though: lobster meat was lacking. Normally, the ratio should be something like 70/30, macaroni's favor. This version was more like...85/15. Side's an 8 out of 10; steaks would both be a 9 out of 10. Dessert: Last, we have the peanut butter pie. I decided to take this one home, since I already felt like a pregnant whale by this point. Simply put, this pie was nothing short of sublime. Rock hard chocolate frosting aside, this was a 9 out of 10 for me. It's worth noting an 18% service fee is automatically charged to your total bill. So, take that into account when tipping. I'm not totally sure why they do this regardless of party size. Nevertheless, we made sure to close the gap, so to speak, on the gratuity by adding in an additional 7%. Service was just that good! Whilst I'd love to be able to give this place a perfect score, I honestly can't when considering the noisy ambiance of the dining area and lack of lobster portioning in their mac & cheese. That's not to say, however, that Prime is anything short of an amazing dining experience. I'm giving Prime at Sky Meadow 4 stunningly sweet chocolate peanut butter pies that melt in your mouth, not on your fork, out of 5.

I appreciate the fact they allowed us to be seated at different time as the second car was ten minutes behind. We started with a few drinks and took our time looking over the menu. Sarah was nice enough to give us insight on the portion size. All of the sides are shareable for 3-4 people. Even a few of the main dishes you can share amongst two people. The standout menu items were Miso Sea Bass, Ribeye, and mac and cheese. That Sea Bass was beyond amazing. Aside from the food our waitress was amazing, she was the queen at small talk. She had a wonderful attitude and was on top of our drink orders and brought the food out in a timely manner. The manager Felix was also such a delight. You can tell he loves his job and people! Made the graduates feel extra special especially with the comped desserts. (Thank you for remembering the nut allergy.) Such a lovely experience. Expect to pay around $75 - $125 depending on the main course and drinks. Thankful this is the location we choose to have a celebration dinner. Highly recommend for people visiting out of town and locals looking for a nice meal. Overall STRONG 5/5 stars!

The sushi bar was nice and long and seemed like it wrapped around the restaurant. There was chill music playing and service was friendly and timely. We ordered the vegetable tempura which was delicious and fresh! Each vegetable presented was different and tasty. I've never had a tempura asparagus or eggplant. That was a nice touch rather than the same veggie repeats. The sushi was delicious - but the tuna in our specialty role was brown and not fresh. You can see it in the pictures. We are paying $20 a roll so yes it does take off stars from my rating unfortunately which is a shame. The hand roll was delicious and I recommend to everyone to order! The Naruto was also good but it was spicy tuna with sauce mixed into the tuna. The tuna there seemed every fresh but hard to know since the tuna was chopped up tiny and mixed with spicy mayo. I'd still return here for a redo though!

As the surrealism took its time to dissipate, we were left wondering where he would want to have his post celebratory dinner. And so...You You Japanese Bistro was chosen. Upfront, I'll say this place has mad potential. In fact, there was really only one thing that I didn't enjoy all that much (and we'll get to that). But rest assured, there are far more positives than negatives about this place. We've already got it earmarked for a future date night spot, if that tells you anything. Tom Yum Soup: I got this rendition with tofu, since it takes on whatever flavor it's infused with. Now, we've had Tom Yum broth at our favorite Hot Pot restaurant in Londonderry. Well, this one had a slightly spicier finish and, more importantly, better seasoning. We were pleasantly impressed! The spice takes some getting used to so, I'll give this one a 9 out of 10; would highly recommend! Surf n' Turf Roll: I'm pretty sure this one was a special or something because it's not anywhere on the regular menu. Regardless, this one was surprisingly tasty! I've honestly never had sushi with beef in it before. But this one definitely worked! I don't really have any complaints about it so....10 out of 10. Lobster Salad Roll: Now, I actually prefer this one to the previous roll; mainly because I'm a seafood freak. Simple, yet highly palatable and refreshing. It's basically lobster meat rolled with various vegetables and rice, of course. Pairs cleverly with soy sauce. 10 out of 10. Fried Japanese Rice with Shrimp: Here's where dinner slightly derailed for me. I didn't know what exactly to expect here since everyone's version of fried rice varies. I'll tell you what I DIDN'T expect though--a lack of flavor. This rice was tragically bland with some of the tiniest shrimp I've seen in a while. Moreover, the shrimp themselves appeared to be steamed rather than pan seared (I'm partial to grilled personally, but that's neither here nor there). It was okay, but definitely not worth a revisit. I'm sorry. But if I can make better fried rice at home, that's an instant 'L' for me. 4 out of 10; would not get again. In hindsight, I really should have tried the Tempura Shrimp with Vegetable Rice. At least white rice is innocuous enough not to screw up. Probably. Eh, like I said - we shall return one day. Also, major kudos for the outstanding service coupled with the fact they leave BOTH regular and low sodium soy sauce as well as chopsticks on the table. Seriously, why can't more Asian restaurants be like this? You You Japanese Bistro gets 4 Lobster Salad Rolls crafted with care out of 5.
