The problem with having an Asian establishment in a non-Asian demographic is food tend to tailor away from authenticity and that holds true here. I've definitely had better experiences elsewhere when it comes to hibachi or teppenayaki tables.
I came here with a party of eight one night for a birthday and upon entering the restaurant the place was kind of quiet. There were some patrons having sushi but once you enter the hibachi room, there were only two or three tables of the ten or so that were being used.
When we finally sat, it took quite a bit of time for the staff to finally place our order. We sat patiently while watching teppan cooks at the other tables entertain their guests. Luckily we didn't go nuts and start to munch on their furniture.
Many minutes later, our teppan cook finally arrives and did his best to entertain us with various techniques and tricks. Not that he was trying hard to impress us, but he did what he could to keep us engaged in his activities. I applaud his efforts.
When it comes to the food, most things we had were decent at best. I really get picky on restaurants for their fried rice. Here, it was definitely the worst tasting hibachi style fried rice. The rice was extremely firm and did not offer the type of flavor you'd expect out of a restaurant-level fried rice. I seriously could make better fried rice at home. Most meats and seafood were cooked good but nothing too fancy or popping. The teppan cook was pretty organized and had good portion control when distributing to everyone's plate.
Overall, I would not make a return. The lack of authentic flavors was a turn off. I applaud their efforts in trying to bring a hibachi experience to an area where there's really not much Asian options. Pricing is not too terrible but I would rather spend $17 at a Chinese buffet that is a couple of lights away.
