As is true for many buffets, the food is mixed, but, overall, a solid buffet with some highlights…read more One disappointment: I'm a sushi fan, and I found the sushi here not interesting. I was here for lunch around noon and the sushi looked ok, but not particularly fresh. (I'm not saying it wasn't fresh, just that it looked like it had been sitting around). It tasted fine. There is a broccoli with chicken and broccoli with beef stir fry. The broccoli in each were outstanding. Fresh, crisp and delicious. Two baked fish entrees (salmon and a white fish) - both were very good. Nothing fancy - just tasty fish. There's a fried fish (tilapia or some type of white fish) that was very good. The breading was tasty and not too thick. There's a cocktail sauce on the salad bar that is good and goes well with this dish. The hot and sour soup was tasty. Broth was a little thick, likely from corn starch. Less corn starch and the soup would be great (although some people like a thick broth). I didn't do the hibachi. There's also a chocolate fountain that I didn't use. There's a nice variety of fresh fruit. And I was impressed by the juiciness of the oranges and the melon. Extensive salad bar and good selection of items for dessert. Overall, a good buffet at a good price point for lunch and, I think, also for dinner. The servers were friendly and worked to remove plates and to keep drinks from going empty. The place is large and comfortable.

You have to speak into a microphone to order but it was so loud that the guy at the register could not here. It was also very busy but they were working fast to get everyone their food. I was asked if I wanted vegetable with my hibachi and said yes.. the vegetables i hot was sauteed cabbage which was fibe though I had expected the vegetable would be broccoli. When I got my food, there was chicken which I didn't ask for but figured I might as well eat the food as I was tired from walking for hours. The tofu was not good.....I don't know if it's the type of Tofu they used but I did not enjoy it. The chicken was good. I ended eating mostly the cabbage and the chicken and some of the rice.

My cook name was Raz and he was pretty good. He was quick,very polite accommodating and professional. I was surprised they didn't make us wait for a whole table to fill up like most hibachi's do. The food was really good and the drinks were ok. Only issue was the drinks took a long time to be prepared which I didn't understand because there were only a handful of full of people there and they were wrapping it up when I arrived. This was overall a great dining experience and I'm sure I'll return for another experience.

We were looking forward for a fun, dining experience for our grandmother's birthday. Unfortunately,…read morethe experience was lackluster. Ambiance: We visited on a Friday around 1pm, and the place was completely empty. I don't need it to be packed to capacity, but when you are coming for a birthday, you want the place to be lively. The restaurant has TVs, but the Hibachi doesn't, so it felt pretty lame. Service: The service felt apathetic. Our waitress seemed a bit unenthused. We noted that one person in our party had a shellfish allergy. This seemed to put the waitress in a bit of a panic. She came back afterward with a list of ingredient and insisted that we take a picture of the ingredients listing. I explained to her that I didn't need to take a photo. She insisted. Finally, I had to say, "I promise, we are not going to sue you. All you have to simply do is not give one person any shrimp." The chef gave a really watered down performance, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. When he did the first fire trick, a couple of people jumped back in fear. So, I think he decided to keep it very vanilla, so I will give a pass, but it did make for a boring experience. He also gave me fried rice instead of steamed, but no biggie. They did give grandma a birthday dessert, so bonus points for that. Food: I thought the food was pretty good. One person thought the rice was too salty. Other than that, it was typical hibachi. It actually tasted better as leftovers later when the flavors got more familiar with one another. Conclusion: Due to the atmosphere and generic service, I probably wouldn't visit again. I especially wouldn't visit again for a birthday celebration. Midday Friday may not be the most peak time, but I know there are other restaurants that can provide a more festive birthday experience.

The fish is consistently fresh, and after trying many different sushi takeout places in DC, this one is the clear winner for me.

I ordered the beef tataki, the sashimi platter, and the tako yaki: - The beef tataki was served chilled; The beef was slightly smokey and the sauce was bright, giving the dish a kind of refreshing feeling. - The fish in the sashimi platter was very fresh and the display was beautiful. The sashimi came with miso soup (as good as any other miso soup). - I loved the takoyaki! I tend to think takoyaki tastes about the same everywhere, but this may genuinely have been my favorite takoyaki I've tried in the area; I had to resist ordering a second plate of it. As a solo diner, I spent $58 (excluding tip) for what I perceive to be a lot of food. For a fancy solo outing, I think it was great value for the quality of food. The staff was also very attentive and my food came out promptly. This is a great solo dining or date spot.
