My one previous experience with hibachi had been good but underwhelming as far as the ambiance of the setting. I'm not asking for an entirely authentic setting, but there's a few basics that it was lacking. Enter Saga.
Beautiful setting with three separate sections, the restaurant, the bar, and the hibachi seating section. Good decorations, clean lines, and clean overall. The seating felt nice and "private" within the realm of hibachi seating. And the service was good.
The food was the only thing where I found myself going "eh, meh." In the almost two hours that I was there I head "Saki time" or "More Saki, More Fun" every ten minutes on the dot--if not more often. Which is all fine and dandy if you want to drunken the customers and hibachi cooks but keep away from my rice & noodles please. The portions were huge, which I was expecting and hoping given their pricing schedule. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned while the shrimps were super plump and yummy. But then ... there was the rice and noodles ... some bites were supper good and some bites all I could muster were flashbacks to "more Saki more fun" since that's all I could taste.
Overall it's an solid A-Ok. I think once I develop a palate(sp) for Saki it wouldn't bother me as much. :-)
