| - This place can't decide if it wants to be a Chinese or Japanese restaurant. In the end, it comes off as a compromise at best on both fronts.
This is one of the many restaurants I was dragged to by my family because my dad has always loved Hibachi-table restaurants. Sadly ,it definitely falls at the lesser end of the spectrum.
The Hibachi experience is the same as other restaurants, and this one pulls it off to a lesser extent. The food here, to put it simply, isn't really anything worth writing home about. The staff seem to lack the personality of those from other Asian restaurants around town. I am also disappointed to see that they put peas in their fried rise, but again, that's a matter of taste.
Eating at the normal dining tables isn't any better. This place tries to be a jack of all trades, Chinese and Japanese alike, but is a master of none. I have tried a wide variety of items on the menu, and none of them really jump out at me. The last time I was there I had an orange chicken dish, and it lacked flavor and was difficult to chew. However, most of the soups I have tried are good.
If you want Chinese food, go to Grand China. If you want Japanese food, go to Geisha House. This place is a red-headed step-child of an Asian restaurant that can't decide which way it wants to go.
