| - Just finished our dinner here and made this one of faves for taking out of town friends and family to. We were warmly greeted by the host and seated immediately in the teppan grill room, which appears to seat about 60-70 at six different stations. They call it a "hibachi" dinner.
If anyone has ever eaten at Benihana's or the Nijo Castle (Newark, CA), I recall paying about $25-30 per Teppan entree. Here, you pay $8.95 for the Hibachi basics: soup, salad, rice (steamed or fried) or fried noodles. Then you choose your add ons or what they call "mix or match" which is your proteins. Chicken teriyaki is $4.95, NY steak is $5.95, filet mignon is $7.55, shrimp $5.75 and so on, There is also salmon, $5.75 scallops ($7.55), Lobster tail (6 oz.) for $15.95, Kobe beef $48.95. They also offer 3 basic entree items (not included is the lobster tail, Kobe beef or Halibut) + the Hibachi basics for $28.95.
I ordered the scallops and chicken, the wife, steak and it is still cheaper than other similar restaurants. The quality of the food is good. Portions were decent. The soup was mild in flavor, the salad though was disappointing. The dressing was watery and you could tell the salads were pre-made earlier in the day.
Pre-tip for our family of four with 2 kid's hibachi entrees (steak & chicken) with sodas and a large Sapporo was $76.
They do offer lunch. sushi, sashimi, nigiri, and a good selection of Japanese entrees in their regular dining room, which has a sushi bar.
We're hoping this restaurant stands the test of time and continues to flourish at its location since there is no other restaurant like this in the SW part of town, They also have a location in Pahrump.
