Restaurant Ranger (Doug Ward)

It was good from top to bottom. I new we were going to have good service right away when we asked lee are server how long happy hour lasted and she till 5 and she looked at her watch and said no problem even though it 4:48! We tried several different appetizers and they were all good! It was my wifes birthday and as we were talking with lee about apps and food it had ben said in passing it was my wifes bday. Lee came over to me and whispered in my ear if ice cream would b good for her and i said sure! So at the end of our meal she brought out a nice bowl of vanilla/chocolate ice cream with a burning candle in it and sang happy birthday to her. So it was good food and good time all round. Everybody said as we were walking to our cars that theyd comeback forsure!

Such a fun atmosphere! Great sushi, great hibachi. Only leaving a review because people need to know how good this ginger sauce is that they give you! Every Japanese Steakhouse I have been to always has yum yum sauce but oh let me tell you about this Ginger sauce it will rock your taste buds to their next level! picture an elevator taking you higher higher higher and then breaks through the roof, picture the Willy Wonka Factory only for your taste buds and that is this ginger sauce. Put it on your rice, your veggies, your meat, everything!

Came in yesterday for a quick bite to see if she. And I was pleasantly surprised and all my travels it was one of the few places that had really fresh delicious sushi. The rice to fish ratio was absolutely perfect. Not too thick not too thin just right there’s no fishiness. The staff was friendly and professional. And the meal came out quickly I did not have the hibachi or anything like that so I cannot post on that one. But if you love sushi I highly recommend this place.

This was the best hibachi!!!! It was soooo good. The only thing was noodles didn’t come with it. But no biggie, I just ordered noodles too. LoL the Chef was fun. We had a blast! The filet was sooooo tender. Best I’ve ever had!

Food is good but small portions, in my opinion.

The restaurant was hot, like the a/c was not working. On top of the hibachi grills being on, it added to the heat. Server was great but servers called out so she was stressed trying to stay on top of everything.

We had a wonderful family dinner here last week. The children loved seeing the chef prepare dinner on the grill and it was delicious!!

We stopped by with a party of four and all the food and appetizers came out in an orderly manner. Our waitress was super attentive and sweet. We order some sushi and was a little disappointed in that they only gave us 5 rolls, but it was still super tasty. Would go back again!

Last two times we’ve been there the service has been horrible. There is one lady (short hair) always very rude and rushes you out. The vegetables were burnt and they make you feel rushed so they can seat the next guests. This last time we came for my sons birthday and she made the experience horrible. Definitely won’t be back not worth the price to be treated that way.

Fun place to go for lunch if you sit on Habachi side of restaurant. Never been for for dinner. Good sushi, but can’t say it’s great moving here from Seattle. The servers are hit or miss as far as pleasantness. We were fortunate and had a very sweet server this past week. Food has been consistent in all the times we’ve eaten here.
