| - A colleague and I came here for dinner on a Monday night around 5:45 pm. It wasn't terribly busy; there was one hibachi table that was filled with cooking underway, and we were seated at the adjacent hibachi table, where 2 other diners were waiting. Shortly afterwards, 3 other people joined and the waitress came around to take orders. My coworker and I both ordered the steak and shrimp mixed hibachi, which was only $1 more than steak alone.
We started with soups and salads while the chef came around a few minutes later and verbally confirmed orders. He was friendly and looked very skilled. The rice and noodles were cooked first, followed by veggies and meat. The portions were pretty huge. The chef took into account cooking preferences; other than asking how we wanted our steak, he was also obliging when one of the diners asked for her noodles and chicken to be cooked longer. The food was really flavorful; I found I didn't use much of my dipping sauces since the food was cooked with enough sauces for me.
The restaurant was reasonably clean, as were the ladies' rooms. The staff were all very efficient with orders, busing tables, and checks. You could order food from the kitchen even if you were eating at the hibachi table. The restaurant was pretty big, with several tables and a good amount of seating.
Our meal came out to just under $50 (before tip but after tax). We didn't order desserts or drinks but the amount of food from the hibachi grill was generous. Amex accepted. Overall, a nice place to treat yourself to a fun and filling dinner, if you're willing to spend a bit more than at other restaurants in the area.
