While this is still primarily a Japanese hibachi, it is clearly better than the numerous chains that have been popping up everywhere. The major difference being the quality of the ingredients and cooks. My steak and seafood is always cooked perfectly to temperature, which can be spotty at some of the competitors. Also, I would rate the sushi here among the best in Pittsburgh. Also you can get some menu items you just don't find elsewhere. I particularly like the Diablo preparation with a spicy sauce and soba noodles.
The one knock would be the showmanship can be pretty hit or miss here depending who you get and there is really no innovation. A pretty standard show.
