Its actually a decent place. Its smallish and quiet. The decor is nice and new looking. Chefs are funny and enjoyable. The food is good as well. A lot of Hibachi grille's are loud and crowded. It does not feel like a special occasion upscale dining establishment when its that loud and cramped. Otani's only has I think two actual hibachi tables. The rest are traditional tables that order from the traditional menu. I have been there a few times and they are always very nice. They seem to actually care about the customer rather than the money coming from the customer. In a time when Hibachi grill chains are as numerous as McDonald's Otani's stands out. I have also read that someone complained that their food was undercooked. I have never had that problem. I have also read that the staff gave difficulty when it was asked that a change be made or something different was ordered. Two parties in our group shared meals. They had no problem with that. And when one meal was shared the server understand and offered another salad or soup.... on the house... out of the kindness of their heart. Normally a meal is supposed to be for one person and comes with one soup or salad. I won't say their name just in case they were not supposed to do that. But it was a really nice thing to do. They also said it was because we went on a holiday. That was really really nice. Just made the meal.
