Let's just say this wasn't a great experience and I probably won't return. Ordered steak hibachi and wanted mushrooms for my veggie. They gave me broccoli instead of mushrooms and when I told them this they wouldn't fix it. They said since she repeated my order and I didn't say anything I can purchase a side of mushrooms. Unfortunately I didn't understand everything she said cuz of the very thick accent... Soup was ok you did have to pay for the extra shrimp sauce. Definitely overpriced for the quality.

I had ordered shrimp noodles with veg and specifically asked that my meal doesn't get cooked in the same spot as pork or other meats. The chef made sure to respect my request and made the food. I don't eat hibachi often but i was very happy with my meal and the service!

I have been coming here for years. Always get the Hibachi Steak & Chicken, sub zucchini for mushrooms. Best shrimp sauce. I have never been disappointed. The reason why I gave it 3 stars.....the cost. Before COVID, my order was about $12. After COVID (2022), my order was about $17. I haven't been in a few months and today my order was $20. While my meal is delicious, it's not worth $20. It makes me sad because I know they will not survive their prices (no one was in the restaurant, no lunch line, and no piled up phone/to go orders) and I won't be able get their amazing shrimp sauce anymore.
