  • This place could use a little love. The whole experience, from being dripped on by seeping ventilation walking around the building from the faded, narrow parking lot to the try-hard fusion vibe inside, is chock-full of sadness. During our hourish-long lunch on Sunday, we had the entire place to ourselves the whole time. They seated us at one of the raised non-hibachi tables, and halfway through our meal, they turned off all the restaurant lights below us. It was almost like they gave up or something. On the plus side, our service was an A+. We built our own CUSTOM BOWLS and our stir-fries came out in about five minutes flat. Our server returned our check so quickly, I thought she apparated. The food tasted okay, not great, though I suppose you could say this has to be at least partially my own fault. I concede: I'm okay with that. I do maintain that I would have liked my broccoli cooked a tad longer, however, as I am vehemently opposed to undercooked broccoli. You would think that with our private dining experience, they could have let our food spend a few extra seconds in the wok. The little metal bowls they give you to fill up at the bar looked pretty small, but still resulted in enough stir-fry for a nicely portioned meal that managed to fill up my very hungry fiance. I'm a big fan of choose-your-own-adventure dining experiences, so this whole concept and the execution really appealed to me. They offered lots of veggies and a variety of protein selections, and there were also maybe 7 or 8 different sauces you could mix and match in little provided cups. Some of the toppings gave the impression of not being super fresh, but that was just perhaps due to how they were cut--presentation left a lot to be desired. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the limp veggies and hacked-up looking meat also contributed to the super sad ambiance of this place. Dim lighting is prrrrobably supposed to be sexy for hibachi, and it sounds like, from other reviews, that this place does get packed at times, but when you and your partner and are left to wander completely alone amongst trays of canned, shredded bamboo shoots and water chestnuts swimming in their own juices around noon on a Sunday, it just feels like this is where bastardized Asian cuisine goes to finally off itself.
