I've been here a few times. Prior to tonight, probably would've rated it a 2 stars. I usually end up coming here because friends want to try it out - or as part of a bigger group, so I don't have a choice. It always ends up being a mediocre experience. Not terrible, just definitely not fantastic! They haven't been the best honoring specials/coupons and the service wasn't great on prior visits.
Tonight was different. We had the best Teppan Grill chef ever! Chef Ryan was funny and amazing at what he does! So skilled and didn't just have the same old tricks and jokes as most chefs do. Chef Ryan gets a five star for sure!! Our waitress, Daphne was also very nice and attentive. I would recommend making reservations to make sure that you sit at Ryan's table if you're going to come here!
The decor is all over the place! They have an awesome light fixture, but it just reminds me of something that should be in a Moroccan restaurant, not Japanese. Either way, I typically don't care that much about decor as long as the service, food and value is good. I'm only mentioning it because it was such a topic of conversation during dinner. Everyone else at my table seem to be so fixated on it.
