I went here with my kids for my birthday this year, as I heard it was a great hibachi joint. I was thinking serve at table, ala Benihana or similar, but no dice. I won't rate down for that, as I was not promised anything and I want to be fair. The atmosphere is rather small town Japanese, but that fits Fairview. They have a decent sized sushi bar to the left as you walk in, the seating is to the right. The service was prompt and she did a good job making sure everyone was taken care of. The food? From a hibachi standpoint, it is rather boring. I rarely salt my food and found it was necessary for the hibachi steak. A bit overcooked and a bit too lightly seared for my taste. The veggies were fine (see picture), but the hibachi rice was cooked way ahead of time and was completely underwhelming, to say the least. I find rice to be tricky anyway. Fortunately, they did not cook the sushi rice far ahead of service, as it would have made the sushi taste like a garbage can (aka, Supermarket sushi - and don't write me to say you know where there is good supermarket sushi in Nashville, as you are lying to yourself if you think so - LOL). If you order hibachi, you get a clear beef broth (miso soup with Bento boxes) and a ginger dressing salad. I think the salad dressing had a bit too much mayo, which ended up hiding the ginger. The girls loved their bento boxes and I got the chance to try a bit of the Udon, which was nicely done. And they brought me a bowl of ice cream for my birthday (no annoying singing). Would I return? If I had a friend in Fairview who wanted to, I would probably try again, but I would not order the hibachi. Otherwise, there are better hibachi restaurants in town where they actually cook in front of you, guaranteeing it is very hot when you get it. Plus, you get a show. Maybe "good enough for Fairview, but not worth the drive"? read more
