Enjoyed a Saturday night dinner here with my guy. Dinner time rush was about 5:30p and the wait time was 30 mins so we grabbed seats at the bar to wait with our pager. It was less than 10 mins and we were seated with another party of 8. Our hibachi cook, Tony, was awesome and the group we were seated with was pleasant to dine with. The saki flowed, Tony did a great presentation and all the food was delicious and well-seasoned. I think your opinion of this restaurant will depend on your cook, the other guests you are seated to dine with and your level of comfort to just enjoy a good time. Other tables were not as "fun" (read loud) as ours and were disappointed with their cook. I agree though, if my cook did not try to show some enthusiasm and effort to make a good hibachi presentation I'd be sour faced too. I'll definitely be back and do recommend this spot for casual dining.
