| - We walked up to the restaurant and declared for all to hear that we were ready to be disappointed! Only because restaurants like this seem to always end up being a gamble and you really feel like you've lost the bet if it's a on the higher end of the price scale.
I'm happy to report this wasn't the case. We were given the option of a seat at a hibachi table, booth or sushi bar and chose hibachi because we had checked out the menu ahead of time and both wanted hibachi meals.
There was one other party in the room with the hibachi grills and their table was full so we got seated at an empty table wondering if it would be just us. Shortly thereafter we were joined by a couple and then another couple making it six total. Because of the timing of when the other couples joined us we were wondering how it was going to all shake out. We had already placed our order and received our sushi before the first of the two couples arrived. The waiter apologized to us since we were now waiting on the other two couples to first choose a drink then an entree. We certainly didn't mind. Unlike a post work weekday eat-out we weren't in a hurry to get in and out. However we felt the waiter did push the other two couples to quickly choose their meals likely because of wanting to make sure we were happy. They still opted to take their time which was certainly fine with us.
I chose the dragon roll for my sushi entree because unlike most of the rolls it didn't contain mayo. Since when is mayo a staple of sushi? Anyway, the sushi roll was good, but not great. Not very impressive looking and it wasn't a party in my mouth or anything.
We got the standard mushroom broth soup and small salad prior to the hibachi chef arriving and both were very good, likely in part because we were both starving.
For dinner I ordered the hibachi vegetables and hubby got the filet. People commented here that the vegetable entree was small, but it was the right size for me. I included a picture of the portion because of previous reviews. Hubby was pleased with his quantity of steak but would have liked more vegetables for himself. My vegetables were cooked well and very flavorful. The vegetable hibachi meal wasn't supposed to include the two shrimp appetizer that all hibachi meals receive, but it was offered to me and I took it.
Like other hibachi restaurants, this would not be the place to go if you have food allergy concerns or you are a strict vegetarian. The fried rice, which was delicious, was full of eggs and the steak and vegetables were cooked in close proximity to each other. However, different serving utensils were used for first, the raw meats, and then once they were fully cooked.
No bean sprouts, like Ginza does, were served at the end of the meal which was just fine with us. We'll be back and next time I'll choose a different sushi roll or skip it all together. Probably didn't need the additional calories anyway.
