Our waiter gave us a hot towel that arose at the touch of water which helped clean our hands. Both the chef and the waiter were very nice and funny. The music was Japanese American music with a Japanese guitar. The food was great with such a great show (watch your eyebrows). The seats were okay not much leg room for me. The tiles and wood paneling were smooth as can be, great! The bathrooms were special. The walls had black and dark grey tilling with a red skip every other skip. Nice toilets clean grounds clean sinks. Clear mirrors. The design on the walls were epic. All around great! Definitely recommend.

The food came out surprisingly fast for a larger group, and everything was fresh and really well done. The gyoza was outstanding -- honestly gave me flashbacks to Tokyo in the best possible way. If you've ever wandered around Japan hunting for late-night comfort food, you know exactly what I mean. The ramen was good, but definitely a little more "American remix" than traditional Tokyo or Okinawa style. A few extra toppings felt that were add because some one "didn't get enough for the cost". Also, the spicy ramen wasn't not spicy at all -- but still flavorful and enjoyable. The restaurant itself was spotless, and the decor was incredible. Great atmosphere without trying too hard. Overall, a really great experience, and we'll definitely be back.

I feel I wasted my money and Fake pictures of "their food" on the walls and the website?? Very misleading. Very confusing. Eel sauce and spicy mayo = disgusting, inedible, literally lost my appetite after I ate them. Miso soup too. Everything just tasted old and rancid. I literally got sick after eating... my stomach was tore up. Hibachi super mid, no flavor. Dry. Overcooked proteins. Supposedly there's a new menu coming out this Friday? Then will they be serving the pictures on the wall and on the website? Maybe invite my friend and I back for this "new menu" and I could write a hopefully updated review.

When you walk in you can smell and hear the sizzling plates, making you very hungry lol. There is a kiosk for ordering which is great because you can customize your plate as you wish. The staff is available if you have any questions or would like to order with them, which is great. There are plenty of tables in the restaurant, with high tops and booths. The food comes out very quick, we waited about 5 minutes for our food. The plate is hot so be careful. It was well seasoned and reminded me of my Navy days eating out in Japan. I would definitely recommend especially if you enjoy trying different cultural foods !!
