I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. Not the worst but not the best. First off, my family and I have been to many Hibachi Teppanyaki places in the past, in many different states up until we became plant based/vegan. Every place we have gone, tasted consistently great! The flavors were spot on and food was just delicious at all the many we have been to. Unfortunately, this place let us down. Now, to be fair, I only had the vegetables and fried rice so I am basing my review on my dish. However, with that being said, cooking vegetables on a hibachi grill should have been the most easy and flavorful item to grill?! Anyways...the reason we went to here was to celebrate my son in law's 25th birthday. He has never been to a place like this and wanted him to experience it since we have had great experiences in the past at places like this. I am sorry to say, it was a let down. The guy cooking was nice, friendly, did his thing but that's about it. It was like going through the motions and not really trying to make it a memorable experience. To be fair,again, maybe it's because it was 8:30PM and he was ready to go home since they close at 10PM? Whatever the case maybe, I was expecting a little bit more enthusiasm, after all it was a birthday celebration.
The service was good, the server took our order and filled our water glasses great. The chef was nice, funny at times, and respectful. The experience was a flop. The food was eh, I can honestly make this at home much better. At least my son in law liked his surf n turf, he say he liked the steak and lobster. My daughter had the chicken and shrimp, she said the chicken was dry but the shrimp was ok. Overall, I believe the flavor of the food was a disappointment. With that said, I may give this place another chance, but maybe in a couple years. Would I recommend this place, not really however, I did watch another table/chef so his thing and that guy seemed to enjoy his job and really put on a performance. If you are going for the experience, maybe not, if you're going for the food, maybe...just depends who's cooking it I guess. One thing the did get right was the complimentary birthday ice cream, that was nice. I really wish I could have given this place more stars, but this is my honest opinion.
