There was only one thing that I liked about this place - a beautiful ornate gold mirror in the front room. Other than that, I completely disliked the experience.
Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us and then proceeded to bash the owner while we waited for our table. She spoke poorly of him saying that "he can't figure anything out, he doesn't know how to market the restaurant, he doesn't know how to compete against the Thompson Dinner, he's been switching the hours of operation and closes too early, blah blah blah". It was extremely awkward for us (new patrons of the restaurant) to hear such criticism from a staff member.
It was a relief when we finally escaped the belligerent hostess and were seated at our table. The novelty of the atmosphere made me kind of giddy and I was excited to see the Teppanyaki Chef throwing knives amongst the flames at the neighbouring table. Unfortunately the euphoria wore off quickly once the food started to arrive. Our starters and sushi rolls promptly arrived at the same time the Teppanyaki Chef appeared to prepare our grilled dishes. We felt very rushed and asked the Server if the Chef could wait awhile to prepare the Teppanyaki so we could take the time to enjoy our starters and sushi rolls. She informed us that it wasn't possible because he was going to prepare our dishes at the same time as the food for other 5 people at our table. Long story short, we were forced fed. Deplorable customer service. See ya never Hibachi.
