Very busy place for rather mediocre food. We rarely eat at hibachi grills, but decided it sounded good tonight. The food was okay. Life's too short and there are way too many good things to eat to settle for okay!
I think one thing that makes it tricky when reviewing a hibachi experience is that they all basically have the same menu - right down to the salad dressing! Therefore, comparisons are natural.
I found the soup salty. The salad dressing was okay, but missing something. Rice was good, noodles had a nice garlic flavor and veggies were standard. I ordered the teriyaki steak and it had zero teriyaki flavor. Had the sauce not been visible I would have sworn I got the wrong item. The meat itself did not taste good. It wasn't spoiled tasting, more like a really cheap cut of meat. I only ate about three bites. In another environment I would have gone so far as to complain, but not here. The shrimp were good. Maybe most disappointing was the ubitiqous white shrimp sauce. It was very watery and bland:(. Major disappointment as that stuff is the highlight of a hibachi visit! In sum, the food was filling, but not good enough to come here again.
The positives are that the staff were friendly and worked quickly. The chef gave extra attention to my young son which was kind of him. Portions were quite large. I cannot imagine complaints about portion size!
