| - My best friend and I went during Yelp Restaurant Week, so after checking in through the Yelp app, we received 30% off of our bill.
We went on a Monday night at 6:30. Slow night at the restaurant. Including the two of us, there were a total of 5 adults, a toddler and a baby as customers at this restaurant for probably the first 30 minutes that we were there. We were all seated at the same hibachi table.
They took our drink orders quickly and brought the soup (which was delicious and flavorful) and the salad. I ordered my salad with ranch dressing but the dressing was pretty watery.
We ordered Crab Rangoons. They were very dainty/delicate looking, almost cute. Crispy to the bite but very light. Great tasting!
As our entree, we ordered the Japan 49 for two on the Hibachi grill which came with Lobster, Shrimp, Filet and Chicken and the fixins as we say in the South. ( You know the Hibachi drill - rice, noodles, grilled veggies. ) I have to say that the noodles were so good! I've never had noodles that thick and wonderful before. Good rice, although it got hard towards the end of my meal. The Lobster was really tough and perhaps overcooked on the grill?! The Shrimp size were medium sized and were very good. Filet was cooked medium and just how I like it. Chicken was well chicken, nothing to write home about.
They provide 2 BIG dishes for sauces (shrimp sauce and ginger). When I go back, I'll just pass on the ginger sauce but double up on the shrimp sauce... YUM-YUM!!
Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. My drink was never refilled and I didn't have anyone to ask for more shrimp sauce. Our waitress was no where to be found when we were ready to pay. In fact, the other family at our hibachi table had to go to the front hostess stand to ask for her because they were ready to go too. Even after they went to the hostess stand to ask for her, it took her a couple of minutes for her to come out from the back. I normally wouldn't even mention this during restaurant week but keep in mind, the restaurant wasn't busy and we were her only table.
The portions were plentiful. I think / hope that service may have had an off night.
