| - So this place is your typical Hibachi place, which has a chef who will grill in front of you and entertain you while you eat. You can also opt to get sushi as well. They have a fully stocked bar and have daily bar specials.
So I checked this place out because I had a Groupon. Contrary to other reviews, they did not give me a hard time with my Groupon-- I just followed the rules and made a reservation in advance.
The ambiance here was okay. The entrance was nicely decorated and the bar was nice and clean, but just past the entrance I saw a hibachi station which was under construction, or in some random state of disarray. Not sure what was going on there.
The food was cheaper than other hibachi places (e.g. Bennihana), I had the Teryaki chicken which was only $14, so yeah, pretty cheap for hibachi. Most of the other seafood entrees were around the $18-20 mark. Portion size was great and compared to other hibachi places. Definitely enough to take home leftovers!
However, the food did not taste as good to me as the other hibachi places I've been to. For instance, the shrimp and steak sauce served with everyone's meal tasted a little off. Steak sauce was much to sweet, and shrimp sauce tasted more mayonnaise-y than usual. The fried rice was okay, but more hard than fluffy. My chicken was good, but maybe not as flavorful as Benihana. Also, the salad dressing was thick and creamy, when I would prefer light and ginger-y. Overall, the food was still good, but not mind-blowingly excellent.
