| - My boyfriend and I have been here 3 times already and we love it! The food is amazing and fresh. My favorite place for hibachi has always been Ohjah, but this place is closer and more convenient and just as good in my opinion. Our dinner was great the first time and their sake selection is great. The 2nd time we sat at the bar and had some baked mussels and a couple of appetizers which were all great.
This recent 3rd visit, we sat in the dining room as we did not want to do the hibachi. It was very slow and there was only one other table besides us at 8:30. We had a new server, said he was still in training. He was very nice and had a personality. Some of the time, I felt he should've just kept comments to himself. He was not rude, but came off like a cocky popular high school jock. We noticed there were some menu errors which was kinda disappointing. We asked about the "fried oysters" as it said on the menu. The server did not know so he said he would find out for us. He came back to the table and told us they did not have fried oysters, only raw. I'm not crazy about raw oysters, so we decided to pass. I wanted to try the $45 sashimi/roll platter. The server said he could not tell us what was on it, it was chefs choice. That's fine and I understand they probably use what they have extra of or what is about to go bad before it actually does. But it would be kinda nice to have an idea of what we would be getting, but he said he has no idea. We decided to get an order of baked mussels(amazing) 2 orders of different kinds of tuna(amazing) and the salmon skin salad(amazing). We ordered 4 orders of salmon belly nigiri because we LOVE it. It did not disappoint, tasted super fresh. We had 2 different rolls that were both super great. One was the Odessa and I can't remember the other.
The restaurant started closing before we had our dessert. I work in the restaurant industry and definitely get closing early if there's no business. Helps save on labor, especially if it's been slow all day. I think they should increase their marketing to bring more people in. The food is amazing and super fresh. The staff is always really nice. I love the fact I can go in on a weekend evening and not have to wait, but when they start closing and cleaning before we've had dessert, it made me feel rushed and they wanted us out. Right as we got our dessert(free mochi upon check in with Yelp,) a family of 7 walked in for hibachi. Sorry guys, that sucks.
Overall, this place is a must! Whether you sit at the hibachi table, the bar counter, or in the dining room. Thanks guys for a great dinner!
