| - Much like Geisha House in LA, Nakama is all about the "pizazz."
I remember when this place used to be a RITE AID, and now it has a massive coy fish on the front of it. I'm not going to diss Nakama, because I actually really like Nakama. I've gone here on many different occasions: for family and friend gatherings, work-related lunches, or just for drinks. This was where I first learned how to properly use chopsticks. It definitely gets a lot of hype, and sometimes you can't even get a seat, but that's because the hibachi is so damn good. They have this creamy sauce that is out of this world, I know several people who order extra just to take home. The whole experience is nice, really. The sushi is better than average and the hibachi is great, too, but I usually go with anything "surf n' surf" (all seafood). The scallops are some of the best around, but a bit on the small side, if I remember correctly. Very good with the cream sauce I mentioned. Don't know what it is, but there's a reason why they keep it a secret. The service is a number one priority, at least from my experiences.
Don't go for the hibachi if you're not in the mood to sit with other people, unless you have a large group. I took my folks once, and I don't think they were totally into it, but it's nice for younger people or a party.
