| - This is my favorite hibachi place. When we started going to this location over 3 years ago, we only went once in a while for a nice fun dinner. Eventually, we learned about their express lunch special which made it affordable for us to go a lot more often! For the express lunch, you will get smaller portions than you do at dinner, but you're paying less, too. I, for one, love the express lunch portions because they're perfect for me! I can rarely clean my plate of all of the food at a full dinner. As with any place, you never know who you're going to get as a chef. Some of the chefs are laid back and fun to casually chat with or joke with while they prepare your food. Some go through the motions of the showmanship and some simply come, cook, and leave. I will admit that the express lunch service hasn't been as efficient lately as it's been in the past (it used to be seated, orders, food, check, out and now has a lot of down time and waiting). Sometimes you'll go a while without a drink refill which is a bit of a pain with how small the glasses are and how much ice is in them. Sometimes it gets difficult to flag someone down. You can still be in and out in about 45-60 mins which isn't bad for a freshly-cooked lunch mid-workday. We hope to be checking out the fairly new express dinner next week as we'll have family in town who will be on a budget.
Tip: If you get your salad with ginger dressing, hold on to your bowl when you're done and dip your meats in the ginger dressing. It's tasty.
Tip: Chopsticks and ginger dipping sauce must be asked for. You will only be provided with one sauce instead of the two that most other places provide.
Tip: If you are having trouble flagging someone down, (nicely) tell your chef what you need. The waitstaff are quick to respond to a request from the chef and they're usually a lot better at getting the attention of the runners.
