While visiting Monroe we ate here twice. The first time I had seafood soup and an appetizer of steamed dumplings. My husband had the soup and a fish appetizer which turned out to be yellow tail. Both visits were pleasant. The seafood soup had a clear broth I have come to expect from Japanese restaurants but, it seemed a bit thickened which I found unusual. The fish appetizer was a large portion and provided a goodly amount of protein in a tasty format. Our second visit was for lunch hibachi and we chose fish and beef. The presentation was fun, the portions more than adequate, the vegetables fresh and the white rice augmented with egg and carrot. The price cannot be beat for the luncheon specials. The south has a bit too much reliance on fried items so this restaurant was my oasis. All of the staff worked hard to insure our delight. At the hibachi grill we sat with a young family with a 2 year old and a 9 month old. The staff took pains to entertain the 2 year old and when the infant was fussy and the mother took the child away, the front desk staff kept the mother and infant company. I give this place a strong vote for quality of the meal and the staff. Well done!
