Had an event in rhode island and drove up from CT. Hibachi is something we all can eat with adults, teens, and kids. Parking lot was pretty full. We took it as a good sign the place is popular. Walking in, you're greeted by a waterfall. Thought there'd be fish, but were none :( . We went to host and were seated pretty fast as our whole party (4) was there. We ate at the hibachi table. Our table was soon filled with about 2 or 3 other parties. One thing that bothered me was that the tables went straight to the floor with no foot test or anything, and the chairs don't have a foot rest either. Yet the chairs are tall, so your feet just barely touch the ground (I'm 5'9"), and I really just wanted them to be rested on either the ground or a foot rest. Back to the service- We ordered edamame for appetizers and I got a seaweed salad. The beans were cold. Tasted like they were frozen and reheated but not even fully. I make them better at home. The seaweed salad was okay. They served us a nice soup (which was welcome bc it was chilly inside) and a salad with a tasty ginger dressing. Then came the show with the cook. I wasn't really in the mood for it but I've learned you get better food at the hibachi table than ordering table service at these types of places. We had the kids hibachi with chicken, and 3 regular dishes with shrimp and chicken, shrimp and scallops, and one with just salmon. We got rice and veggies with that. We had a decent serving of food. But i must say at other hibachi ive been to, it's been quite a lot more, and also usually with rice AND noodles. We didn't have much to doggy bag. I asked the server secretly if they could sing happy birthday to my nephew. He got fried ice cream, and the other had cheese cake. Everyone left with full bellies. But the two of us that had the shrimp also left with bubbly stomach! Uh-oh! But all in all, it was a good vibe, the staff was nice, friendly, and accommodating. I thought it was going to be bad because of some of the reviews, but it was decent. I'd possibly go back if in the neighborhood and in the mood.
