| - This was my first hibachi experience, so I had no expectations. I actually got sushi, and my friend got hibachi, though we did share.
Our chef was very entertaining, as well as making pretty good hibachi. The entertainment was fine, but here's what went wrong with the experience:
Sushi: Don't get me wrong, it was decent. However, EXTREMELY overpriced. I noticed that they had normal prices for sashimi/nigiri, however it was just for one piece. $3.00 for one sweet shrimp? Seriously? Sweet shrimp are small! $2.50 for a piece of yellowtail? This is the most ridiculous pricing for sashimi/nigiri I've ever seen. I ended up getting a yellowtail roll and avocado roll (both very small for the price), and a spider roll. Though there was plenty of soft shell crab in it, it was extremely overcooked, which made it kind of unpleasant. Very disappointed on the sushi side of things.
Hibatchi: The salad and broth that came out before the meal were both very good. The person I went with was allergic to onions, and asked to just have white rice instead of fried. He was brought out a small cup of steamed white rice while everyone else at the table got a heaping portion of fried rice. The vegetables were fine, as was the steak. Like has been previously mentioned, cooked exactly to your specifications in front of you. The sauce that accompanied was also delicious.
All in all, it was okay. Kind of lackluster for a first hibachi experience, and definitely when compared to the price. Also, their sushi is just ridiculous and not worth what they're charging. I suggest going elsewhere for both venues of food.
