The reason I like this place is the mere fact that there is someone cooking for me, in front of me, and I get to watch the show and enjoy some good hibachi. It's hard to compare these to the various hibachi places around town, because this is a favorite category of mine anyway. The group atmosphere is a must with friends, and the Saki waterfall is a competition among good friends. If the other grill spots were closer, I'm not sure I would still stop coming to Red Ginger, however the others would get a fair share of my presence. This one is the closest to me, but I'll still drive for the others away from uptown.
