| - Ambiance was what to would expect from your average Japanese Steakhouse. We had a group of 7 including a child, and accommodations were good. The routine of the chef was good, and he catered to the child a bit which was nice. One of our group had a birthday the day before, and they still did the birthday routine for him, which I thought was above and beyond. Overall, service was excellent.
On to the food. We started with a sushi appetizer (California roll). It was very good. I had shrimp and chicken hibachi as my main course. Fried rice was excellent, as was the chicken and shrimp. However, as others posted, there was noodles that were served that definitely were out of place. They were much more like a spaghetti with garlic than even a Chinese lo mein dish. The garlic was overpowering, but fortunately, due to reviews I read in here, I kept it separate from the rest of the food and this saved my meal. My advice is ask for them to hold the noodles.
So my scorecard:
California roll, hibachi chicken and shrimp, and fried rice: homerun and 5 stars.
Garlic noodles: swing and a miss and 1 star.
Normally I would have given a rating of 3, but due to the superb service, I gave it a bonus star for a total of 4. I definitely recommend, just skip the noodles.
