"The service worker at the front was very rude and at no point expressed any courtesy or etiquette. ALL of the soft drinks served at the restaurant were uncarbonated; with the restaurant effectively serving just a mixture of water and fountain syrup. The majority of the tables appeared to be unclean(note that by using the word “unclean” to describe the restaurant I mean that it appeared that there had been no employees to have been inconvenienced or convicted to clean), with visible crumbs, sauces, drink-spillage, and other substances decorating some of them. The only somewhat redeeming quality of the restaurant was the food, which was, at best, decent, but does not compensate for the rest of the experience. I personally find attending this establishment as inexcusable, as there are similar restaurants in the area with superior service, superior food and a superior atmosphere."

"EVERY time i go here, i wait inside for my food that i place online! THEN, the woman upfront leaves it on the counter and hands everyone their order coming off the grill. I have to go and check for my order, and she hands it to me off the counter after i have waited 40 mintues, it’s now cold, and this has happened 3 times now!"

"Worst hibachi I’ve ever had. No vegetables but carrots and the carrots are diced so big it’s just not something you can add to your bite cuz you gotta cut em up into smaller pieces. The meat was over cooked. The rice was dry. The miso soup tasted like water with shrimp flavoring. Will not go there again. Don’t waste your money cuz it is highly over priced for what you get. Never again."

"Stopped in to have lunch and was a little let down. The food was not in keeping with the price, and the food was hit or miss. The hibachi made no sense and the sushi was sad. However the dumplings and sauce were perfect as was the sauce on the hibachi."

"Pretty good sushi, I like it more than rock n roll. The sauce was a bit too sweet, didn’t taste like spicy Mayo to me but more like a burger sauce. I’d come back."
