My wife and I ate here for the first time recently. We sat at the sushi bar and started with some very satisfying miso soup. We’ve both had dishwater-miso elsewhere recently, so this was a great start. We then had a couple of “Premium House” rolls for dinner. They were large, I thought they were exceptionally good looking, and we enjoyed both of them. The sushi chef who helped us was great, and seemed quite knowledgeable. There was also a server who took our drink orders and checked in on us at reasonable intervals, but seemed as if she might be a trainee. So all-in-all a good dinner.

What an amazing experience! We had such a good evening here. We had to wait 20 min because it was so busy. So we decided to have some sushi as a starter and a beer. The sushi was some of the best sushi I’ve had compared to places I’ve been all over the world. Good quality fish and big portions. The service was extremely fast. When we moved to our table the waiter we got really did an excellent job with his service. We had to wait a while for our chef and the waiter actually came to apologise and kept us posted on our chef arriving soon. All in all we had a very good time at this restaurant. The staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. We had four different types of fish and everything was cooked perfectly! Well done Hibachi Steak House & Seafood.

I can definitely tell that the ownership must have changed. Food used to be delicious, service used to be top notch and the price was decent with the previous owner. But now everything is just opposite. Staffs are very unprofessional and inexperienced, price is ridiculously high. Just for some drinks, appetizers and couple of rolls the bill was over $200. Forget about the hibachi grill section. I wish there was an option to give zero star.

Our main courses were good, very standard hibachi wise, our chef made our food for a table of 5 adults in a timely manner whilst performing the usual hibachi antics, the miso soup left alot to be desired it had no tofu and instead these wierd tempura chunks and the salad was as barebones as it can get.The arbitrary prices for the food is the biggest kicker in the shins. I understand that it’s expensive to remain open and such. But a charge of 9 dollars to share a plate that’s already 50 dollars?! Seems a little out of hand. On a brighter note the staff and the chef were friendly and helpful. I always tip the chef that makes our food I appreciate their service what I don’t appreciate is inflated prices and unnecessary charges. If you’re looking to blow alot of money this is your place to go.

My man, shout out to the people in the sushi bar. They are awesome and friendly. Sushi is goooddd, bento boxes are good, plenty of food. Needs to teach more to the servers to know when to interact with the customers, I don’t the my server every 4 min asking if I’m ok or of he or she can take away a plate.

Nice place, wonderful food! Unfortunately my wife got steamed rice instead of fried one. So be sure waiters got your order right.

Holy MOLYYYYYy!!! This place was WOW! We have always eaten at Benihana’s and that has gone way downhill so we didn’t have many expectations but man o man- this was THEE BEST hibachi experience we’ve had in probably 6 years. Everything was so fresh and delicious- so glad we came here!

Eat here! Gluten free options are not obviously labeled, but they will work with you. Gluten free soy sauce is available. Terrific, fast and friendly service. Charming atmosphere. Great for date night or a work lunch or dinner.
