    Best hibachi in town. Great, great takeout. Lunch specials are affordable and delicious. Sometimes extremely busy, but that’s because they’re so damn good!

    Food was delicious, and our chef was very friendly and kept a good conversation with us. Our waitress kept our drinks topped off. The amount of food we got was a great amount for the price too. We each took about half our food home because we were stuffed.

    The atmosphere was amazing shockingly the steaks (fillet) was not that best. The server did the absolute best to make this experience GREAT. The spider roll was the best I had in a very long time.
