Tokyo Steakhouse

Came here for a special birthday dinner for my partner because it's his fave spot and I was visiting from our of town. I had never eaten Japanese food before let alone been to a hibachi restaurant before. For my first time? It was absolutely amazing. Our chef was extremely skilled and cooked all of our food so beautifully. I am a little iffy on eating seafood in general because I have never had it prepared right. But here at Tokyo, the shrimp and the salmon were the highlights. The drinks were strong, the food was good, and I am dying to go back. I highly recommend this place!

nd our go-to spot never disappoints. With an emphasis on freshness and flavor, every visit promises a culinary experience that tantalizes the taste buds. The vibrant ingredients and expertly crafted rolls keep us coming back for more. Whether it's a casual lunch or a special dinner, this sushi haven consistently delivers quality that leaves us craving another bite. A true gem for sushi lovers!

Went here on a pinch because our normal go-to was closed the week leading up to Christmas. Went here about 8 years ago and had a memorable experience so we gave it a shot. Compared to other hibachi centric Asian restaurants in the Merrimack valley/North Shore, this place was pretty mid. Drinks were probably the best part, they were on the stronger side. However, food and "the show" were pretty bland. No zucchini toss, no sake squirt so I am assuming our chef was new or just not that good. Service was pretty scarce and inattentive. They did offer a 3rd spicy mustard sauce which is unique to places I frequent more regularly but food portions were noticably lighter than others. Likely would only be our "break glass in case of emergency" hibachi place based on others in the area but certainly a place that scratches an itch if you are in a pinch.

This place is incredible. The staff are so kind. The cooks are funny and entertaining. The food is phenomenal. It's fresh and delicious. Their drinks are strong. 1000% recommend.

What an amazing place with an amazing atmosphere to grab dinner! When I tell you the food was cooked to perfection, the sushi was fresh and plated with taste, the drinks were not watered down but not overly saturated in juices, and the staff were all so bubbly and friendly. The passion for what they do definitely shined through everything I ate, drank, as well as the customer service by the waitstaff. Overall I wish I could give this more stars because this hands down has been the BEST Japanese steakhouse Hibachi style food I’ve had. From beginning to end the fresh salad, the great tasting soup, I mean the list goes on and usually those two things aren’t the best at hibachi but at Tokyo in Andover, FIREEE! If you don’t take my review for it, I’m telling you GOOO EAT THERE!! I even went right before they were closing and that didn’t change ANYTHING, it was 100% energy and amazing food until closing time!

Stumbled upon this place on a slow weeknight but upon entering, it didn’t seem like one! Was extremely busy but we did get a table. Their teppanyaki section looked so good but unfortunately we didn’t have the appetite so we stuck to the sushi section. They were all spot on! Servers were not very friendly but we really didn’t care. Nice lively vibe and a really extensive sushi and teppanyaki menu. Definitely coming back to try it!

What a great place to go for sushi. We ordered sushi for two, which came in a ship platter. It wow us! There was more than enough to share with others. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Tokyo Steakhouse was one of my first hibachi grill experiences, and it did not disappoint. It was equally tasty as it was entertaining! We dined there for my dad's birthday, and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience (& he's a hard one to please!) With the different meat selections and sauces, it truly was a flavorful and savory meal. I definitely recommend trying the seaweed salad, salmon, monk fish, and scallops! I also recommend getting the scorpion tails cocktail - it's tasty and you'll definitely get the most bang for your buck.

Went there last night for hibachi dinner with 3 friends. Besides the volcano pictured below, was a bit disappointed the chef did not do the usual gimmicks like tossing veggies or feeding us sake. Spraying us with sake was not really what I had in mind. Other than that, the portion sizes were generous and the seafood I got was well prepared and flavorful. Drinks were weak and not worth the price. Took us three attempts to get classes of water which was frustrating, service was definitely subpar. Would not go out of my way to go here again.

Visited for hibachi dinner. We ordered chicken entree and the sliced steak. Both tasted good, the chef did a great job with preparation. It was a Sunday night and the dining room was fairly quiet so it was not too loud. Vegetables were mostly bean sprouts is the only drawback and charging extra for fried rice increased the price a little

We are so fortunate to have this little gem so close to home. I took my boys here for dinner on Christmas Day one year, and from the moment they first saw the hibachi show, they were hooked. Their steak dishes are fantastic, and I typically go for the Red Sox Maki. Top that with a scorpion bowl and you've got yourself the perfect holiday feast, or simply a feast when you want to gather and enjoy great entertainment and ambiance with your friends and family. This is a wonderful place to dine and make some memories. I am giving 4 out of 5 stars because sometimes the service leaves a bit more to be desired, but overall I highly recommend!

Haven't been there in years but thought we'd give it a try.Drive by all the time and parking lot is always empty. I know why! Place was filthy, dirty window sills, dirty blinds, food was nothing special.

The prices are insane for the quality of food. Nothing is ever cooked properly even when you ask specially. The price is raised to match a fancy restaurant. This is NOT. WE WILL NOT GO BACK. Flavorless steak that cost almost $40

Food was repulsive...if i wanted burnt rice i would've asked my boyfriend to cook. The waiter was decent...only reason a star was added. Super small portions, my kids weren't even full. had to stop at mcdonald's after. The cook clearly was just there to cook, didn't even entertain customers . barely had flavor; no saki saki!!!!!! i thought my cook was a mute. stay away from this place. Travel the extra mile to Tomos in salem!!! the place was nice tho, has potential.

The food here is fantastic with the atmosphere just as good. The hibachi and sushi of the place are both very tasty.

price is high, service is okay, food is not so good. sushi was okay (not super fresh but i dont mind that!) pork katsu was burnt and the ends were inedible (painful to chew) udon was okay, fried egg was burnt though and we found a hair inside. tempura batter was too thick and not flakey, shrimp was okay but the other veggies were undercooked.

My wife said let's try this, we drive by Tokyo Steakhouse all the time &... Then a poor start : ( the hostess was masked and impossible to understand & was a bit rude. Then we were confused on what and where in the restaurant to eat. (Hire a non masked/ English understanding/ speaking host please!) So we sat by the grill with seats around it. Thank goodness. The waitress was rushed but ok. They should work on this for sure. Then... we ordered tempura shrimp- OMG- so good needed more shrimp please!! & ordered the chicken teriyaki and beef and chicken udon noodles. Then the magic happened. A perfectionist came to the table. An oasis in a time of trouble. The best onion volcano chef known! He was a maestro of Japanese cooking! So frigging good oh my! Thanks- and hats of to him. God bless him! He saved the meal- & the restaurant.

The sushi was amazing and the sushi chef gave us a little appetizer on the house! We both got 3 rolls, all tasted fabulous. The service was also quick. The environment isn't super fancy, just your average sushi place. Plenty of parking as well!

Took the kids here - they liked it a lot - everyone loved their food. The chef cooked in front of us, did all the usual jokes, made the onion volcano - the kids loved it. I had one kid who didn't order something they cook in front of you and I felt bad because as the rest of us were eating fried rice and stuff, they got nothing. And, they forgot to bring out that kids food, so they ate later than us and we all had to wait. So, it could be tighter but the kids did like it so it was all right.

Great food, but even better if you're in the lounge. Every bartender I've ever met in there has been super attentive, friendly, and knows how to mix a cocktail. All pretty important, if you ask me, lol

Better sushi than you'd find in Boston. The staff has always been quite excellent. Sure, the hibachi is tasty and fun, but you are missing out badly if you pass up the sushi. It's been a bit too long since I last dined in, and I look forward to visiting soon! Every meal there has been a delicious, memorable, joyous, and pleasant experience.

I went to this restaurant for the first time this past weekend--I wanted to experience Hibachi style cooking--The temperature was too warm inside although it was 64 degrees outside -- The greeting was weak and without joy or sincerity! The food was ok, over salted and the portion for the shrimp and scallop combo was RIDICULOUSLY small --Everyone get 3-4 small shrimp as part of the meal -- My shrimp dinner portion was 8 shrimp total, so only 4 more than the rest of the guests

We come here every year for birthday celebrations. It's a fantastic spot where you get the entertainment of the food being cooked right I front of you. I always go for one of the combination dinners. We had 10 people this time so it was nice having one whole side of the table to ourselves! Great place and great food!

We got there right when they opened we're the first people there and we were definitely not the first people to be served. It took quite a while for are we just to bring the food and people that sat 20 minutes after us left 20 minutes before us. Overall it wasn't awful but I definitely probably won't be back there's definitely better choices. The rice is chock full of chunky vegetables when I like the more finely chopped. The soup was the best part because you could get that mushroom and onions like through every bite. The chicken was overcooked and cannot taste any of the sauce on it. The vegetables were not very well done and they were hard to eat. They don't have a yum yum sauce even though they say they do but it's definitely not yum yum our waitress was not very friendly

This is our favorite place ever! The hibachi food is to die for, and the sushi is so good I literally can't eat sushi from anywhere else because it doesn't compare! All of the employees are awesome, especially the sushi chefs Allen and Tony, and the server Lynn. These three have become like old friends to us, and remember off the top of their heads what we like and want to order. Allen is always coming up with his own little appetizers and each time we come in, he makes us a little something different to try while we wait for our food. He doesn't charge us, he does it just to be kind. Great food and even better people! Also note the awesome Saki Bombs and try one if you're brave!

I was excited to go here, I love when chefs create delicious food right in front of you. Well our chef was not very pleasant at all, did zero tricks...zero he didn't even light an onion on fire. When I asked he nodded his head and left. I'm guessing there was a language barrier. Our food was ok, but not great! Rice is an additional $3.00 per person ( we were not aware of this extra charge) it doesn't seem like alot but when you have 12 ppl it adds up. I won't be going back to to this place anytime soon. I'll stick to Nana 7 in North Billerica. They squirt sake in your mouth until you say when. Have you catch food in your mouth and just know how to have a good time. Very unimpressed and disappointed.

I have been to a number of hibachi restaurants and this is one of the best. The restaurant is clean and service is friendly. I didn't try the sushi but it looked good. The hibachi chef was friendly and entertaining without the comedy act playing into the broken English racial stereotypes of other restaurants (I have heard chefs in other places speaking perfect English at the bar and then doing broken English at the table). The hibachi food was very good and not the bland food you often get.

Do not recommend. While the food was good. Service was terrible. Also, do not understand the severity of allergies. My little brother is extremely allergic to shellfish and seafood. We notified the server of this and the following day my brother woke up with a swollen face. He did not consume anything else other than their food so we know for a fact that the food was the issue. I'm extremely upset! Please, do not go here if your child has extreme allergies like my brother or you will end up with an unfortunate situation in your hand....despicable... Thought about calling but nothing is going to change. They are just going to deny any type of accusation and will not take responsibility for their actions because this may be a lawsuit in the future...what a dangerous disappointment...

I had the pleasure of being invited to dinner Wednesday evening at the Tokyo Steakhouse. Upon arrival, I was surprised by the very attractive exterior of the building surrounded by more than ample parking in a private lot. The interior of the restaurant was modern and as you would expect a high end hibachi place to be. My friend had arrived before me and I spotted him easily after entering, as he was seated at the first hibachi table to the right with another gentleman who ended up being the proprietor of the restaurant. I said my hellos and sat down thinking of what I should order? Just then a beautiful plate of sushi arrived, it included a few rolls, some tuna, yellowtail, eel, fatty tuna the works, even an edible flower... All were fabulous!! We enjoyed our sushi platter and a few very high end cognacs. Then out comes the hibachi chef, whom I assumed was going to take our order. But alas! He said hello and fired up the grill. Apparently when the owner is at your table things go especially good. The chef put on a little bit of a show and started the fried rice, it was cooked perfectly and had large pieces of seafood throughout. He no sooner dished out the rice, the grill was covered in scallop, shrimp, lobster and steak. Wow what a feast!!! The chef then distributed the bounty and dinner was served. We sat around, chatted, enjoyed stories of past adventures and had a little more cognac. A great night out. I'd like to thank Victor & Ken for the fabulous evening as well as the wonderful food!! Please head on over and give this place a try. You will love it!! It ranks an easy **5 STARS**

Love this place been here several times it's always a good experience. Went to celebrate my fathers birthday and also his first time and he was very happy and really enjoyed the food. Prices are really good and portions are generous!

Delicious food & wonderful service! My family and I had a wonderful meal here for Mother's Day. We ordered sushi, entrées, drinks & dessert and everything exceeded our expectations. Staff is friendly & accommodating- would highly recommend for a fun, family meal.

My first experience at a teppanyaki style restaurant was a good one! My friend took me about 30 minutes north of Boston to her favorite place for sushi - unfortunately for her though, my idea of sushi consists of inari, spider roll, and anything with eel. While the lunch crowd was rather skimpy this Saturday, our teppanyaki chef gave his table of eight a good show - starting off with a bang he set a fire in the middle of the cooking surface, then playfully balanced an egg before cracking it on the edge of his metal spatula in preparation for making the fried rice (+$1.95), and later created an onion volcano... it was cool, and the kids at the table (both the toddler and the young teen celebrating his birthday) were enthralled, not to mention the adults. My Hibachi Sirloin Steak ($10.95) was proceeded by miso soup chock full of little cubes of tofu and seaweed, and a simple, refreshing salad of iceberg lettuce, carrot shreds, a tomato segment, and the typically orange colored dressing. Over the show, my plate slowly filled with a nice mound of tasty fried rice, a good portion of tender beef, a mishmash of well prepared veggies (ie. zucchini, mushroom, broccoli, onion, carrot, tomato), and topped off with a bunch of bean sprouts. We were happily stuffed by the end of the meal. Oh, and my friend's scallops were tender and nicely flavored. In addition to our entrees, we ordered the Green Dragon Roll (eel roll with avocado outside), which I happily enjoyed, and a few slices of raw fish - I recognized salmon, but not the other... My friend said the sushi here is very fresh, so I'll take her word for it. I eyed our neighbor's fried ice cream, but we unfortunately lacked both time and room in our tummies... till next time... Here's a tip - tip the chef for a job well done! Here's another tip - if you're not here for the teppanyaki, they have tables without a cooking surface in another room... probably a quieter space to dine in too.

We stopped in on a busy Saturday night for Hibachi dinner. We were immediately greeted & seated. We ordered two cocktails, both delicious and only $7.95 each. We ordered steak and shrimp hibachi meals, that came with veggies, shrimp, white or fried rice, salad, and mushroom soup. The entire restaurant was packed & Service was great, hibachi show was perfect, and food was fresh and delicious. We had a great experience & plan to return for sushi or hibachi soon!

Really enjoyed my time here. Went with my friend and we were both former business owners and understanding of how hard it is to reopen after a few months of being closed without notice or preparation time. The service was good not great, but the food was excellent. I liked the teppanyaki style dining and we were seated next to a married couple that didn't want to talk, but that is just the Texas gal in me talking.

The food was phenomenal, but the service was cold and rude. We went as a family, my boyfriend, daughter and myself. My daughter has an allergy so we waved over the hostess to let her know before I forgot to tell the waitress about her allergy. I sometimes forget because usually a lot of restaurants are peanut free, but since this was a type of restaurant where peanut oil is usually used, I wanted to make sure thE staff was aware. The hostess came over and stood about 4 feet away from us, no mask, in a crowded/loud restaurant and glared like, "what do you want?" I greeted her with a smile and told her about my daughters allergy. She had a blank stare after I told her and she explained they don't use any peanuts on the grill or in the food. She appeared agitated that we even got her attention! She advised me to tell the waitress which I planned on doing anyway. The entire time we were there our waitress was kind, sweet and attentive to us. It was loud and a Friday night so it was hard to hear, but she was patient with us. Until it was time to pay the bill! My boyfriend paid in cash and when she came back to get the bill she asked us "aren't you going to leave me anything?!" At the bottom of the bill it says suggested tip! So suggested implies your choice as to how much to tip, but to be fair. I told him that he'll need to leave the amount that was suggested on the bill to make it 18%-20%. So he did some rearranging with the funds and paid her, she left thinking that she was gonna walk away with a $50 tip . I told her we needed change. She pointed at the bottom of the bill and basically told us how much to tip her. We were both embarrassed and a little disappointed that she did that since the service the entire night was awesome. I gave it 4 stars because of the food, family friendly atmosphere and vibe.

We had reservations for a big group of people so we were expecting to all sit together they ended up moving us to a different tables multiple times, the waitresses were very rude and were speaking in a very condescending tone, and because we were a big group we asked if we can split the checks but they refused and said all 30 of us had to pay one one card because it's too much for them to memorize which was understandable if they were going to split the check for each individual person but all we asked to split the check by 4 because our group was so big like we are all broke ass highschool and college students no one has enough money on their card to pay for 30 people's dinner if I could give them 0 stars I would never again!!!!!

We have always enjoyed this restaurant. Skillful, entertaining chefs. Delicious food and drink.

The lunch was horrible and expensive. When we mentioned about the stale vegetables, the reply from the server is not to order next time.

The dinner Omakase ( open sushi ) was amazing. Everything was fresh and plated beautifully. Sushi Chef Allen used his artistic creative cooking skills taking us on a flavorful journey. I recommend you and your guests to sit on the sushi bar enjoy the dinner while enjoying his cooking show.

Have been here a couple of times with my hibachi-crazed co-workers. Before that, I'd driven by many times but didn't know what to expect inside the Tokyo Steakhouse. It was pretty good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is a little chaotic and a lot of noise - but that's probably not a surprise when you're going to a dinner that is meant to be a show. The chefs make a great performance of their knife skills and flaming volcanos fashioned out of veggies. It's fun. The food is also pretty good - I highly recommend getting some sort-of surf-and-turf combo. The filet mignon cannot be passed up - it is tender and flavorful and amazing. You also can't go wrong with shrimp or salmon. Sometimes I have found the fried rice to be a little bland, but that's just me - nobody else I've been with seemed to notice. Drinks are what you'd expect from an asian restaurant - tropical & strong. Among us we had a flaming scorpion bowl for two, a bunch of cocktails (my favorite came served in a glass that looked like a coconut) and a few rounds of sake. I recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. Round up a lot of people to go with you - each table seats a lot of people and the-more-the-merrier, right? :)

So far this is the best hibachi place I've been to, where the food is as good as it can be. Ive tried steak, chicken, shrimp and have never been disappointed when I order. My go to is probably the shrimp, which I get with fried rice, veggies, bean sprouts and is accompanied with soup and a salad. The salad never disappoints, although I like it better than the soup, so I always switch with someone who loves the soup and not the salad. Hibachi style shrimp, especially the way they cook it, is my absolute favorite. Its so tender, never overcooked, and has a delicious flavor. Sometimes my family and I dabble in the sushi, which also rarely disappoints. We grab a California roll, Sweet potato roll and a philly roll. So good. The only downside to this place is sometimes the customers, who bring their kids and let them scream and yell. Sometimes it can get noisy in there, but usually its decent. Also it is a bit pricey, but for amazing food like that, I am totally ok with it!!

Came here last night for my girlfriends birthday had fun! 3 stars because we asked the staff 3x to sing happy birthday to my friend they never did, slightly disappointed. Would go back place is good no complaints about the food.

TLDR - The food was excellent, the service was terrible. We arrived just before 7:00 and we were promptly seated at an empty hibachi table. After ten minutes another couple was seated with us. Waited another 10 minutes and the final couple was seated. The waitress didn't arrive for another ten minutes. For those counting, it was 30 minutes before we could even order drinks. I ordered the Sushi sampler. The waitress asked me to repeat my order. I said again, yes the sushi sampler please. Ordered the Shrimp and Chicken for the entree. After everyone ordered, it took 10 more minutes for the drinks to arrive. My sushi didn't come out but another couple's did. I waved the waitress over and asked about the Sushi. She apologized and said she would go get it. She came back with Sashimi, not sushi. At this point I was too hungry to send it back, so i ate it. It was the only flavorless portion of the dinner. 10 more minutes and the Salads arrived. So its now been 50 minutes and the chef finally arrives with the entree cart. He reads off the orders and pointed to me and said "chicken and steak". I said No, Chicken and Shrimp. This took another 5 minutes to correct. The rest of the meal was quick and delicious. Too bad it took so long to get started and too bad the orders were screwed up. Probably will not go back to this particular spot.

We went for sushi/sashimi. First time since Covid. Before we visited often. The fish was frozen and tasteless. We talked to the manager and he gave us a few dollars from the bill. Don't serve sushi if it's not fresh! Too bad

Amazing! The power went out but the people kept working. However, the stall was too dark and was very scary. I was taking a shit in pitch black darkness. The people are still very kind!

Very good restaurant. Came there with my "family" for my father. Food was great. Sirloin steak wasn't jampacked with flavor but was nevertheless amazing. Portions were fairly large. Though a group of people joined halfway in and ordered with us. They were unclear with how the food worked and when they ordered 2 orders and they said that they were sharing. The chef brought the food and served the food to the two plates for the two orders he was given. This was supposed to be shared though the group misunderstood and thought more food was coming. The women flipped out and began to berate the chef who was just doing his job. She demanded to talk to the waiter. Eventually they got out of the restaurant with 3 orders of food for the price of 2 orders. My compatriot told me later on that the waiter or chef will most likely have to pay for their order out of pocket. The staff have to deal with these people and had done so with elegance which is what truly gave them 5 stars though their food greatly helped.

Had a sushi lunch here with a customer. A great find! Great sushi....very fresh accompanied by an ICE cold Sapporo. Worthy of a return visit to explore then menu a bit more.

Usually come here once a month since it is expensive, amazing food but horrible service, this one guy we get almost every time is so bad, he comes one to two times too our table and bad. But there is one girl that is fast and good and nice. don't bring someone who is allergic to seafood or anything like that, almost every time someone gets shrimp or something that was in the sea. The cooks are good make in front of you, they do fires and such and it is amazing. Overall bad service but amazing food recommend to people who like steak and shrimp. 4/5

Ate there with a party of 12 with reservations on a Wednesday night. We were seated next to our party but at a different hibachi station. Ok I understand only so many people fit, but I assumed due to size of party they would be cooking at both stations. Turns out they sat another party of 6 next to us and that hibachi cooked only their meal. The soup and tea were cold and waitress never checked in on us. The chef burnt the shrimp and overcooked the chicken. When serving the shared foods, veggies and rice etc, he always served the same people first. By the time he got to the end of our party where we were sitting, there was nothing left but the scraps. We had hardly anything on our plates while the first 9 people ate quite well. Poorly executed! Also why is the Tokyo steakhouse in Andover almost 35% more $ than the Tokyo steakhouse in Salem nh! Will not return. Very expensive for what you get. Will stay local and eat at the smaller hibachi places near me for less$. My 3 stars is quite generous.

Neat clean n open environment with a lot of hibachi tables. Service was prompt n friendly. Chef was hospitable n great with kids since we were celebrating my 9 yr old nephew. Food was fresh n delicious. If u get stuck at a hibachi table n the other guests aren't your cup of tea it's not like u can move easily but u make the best of it. Only bummer was is we were looking forward to my nephew to try his first fried ice cream n they were out. How could that be when they only have 2 desserts on the menu oh well. That wasn't going to ruin our wonderful experience. We did go on New Year's Day around 430pm n it quickly filled up shortly afterwards

I'm from out of town, and visited for work over the weekend. My boss and a few other coworkers were in the mood for hibachi and this seemed like a good place. It was different than any other hibachi restaurant than I've ever been to. The majority of the restaurant is made up of hibachi tables. We sat down and were immediately greeted by a nice waitress. I ordered a blue Hawaii, which was amazing and my other coworkers ordered a scorpion bowl. We all orders something different ( I ordered the teriyaki chicken) and between the four of us two ordered the garlic noodles and the other two ordered the fried rice and we were going to share. The hibachi chef was very good, but as other reviews said, they don't do typical hibachi chef things like squirting Saki in your mouth and tossing veggies to catch in your mouth. I didn't mind this because the food was delicious! The garlic noodles were to die for!!! I almost wish I ordered it for myself! We come to this area every year and we will be planning on going again!

My coworkers & I decided to try hibachi at Tokyo Steakhouse on a Friday night. We made a reservation for 630 and got sat pretty quickly. The feel of the restaurant is nice. They're really big, and we're really busy. I love trying different hibachi places. My only complaint was that the cook wasn't very energetic, he didn't talk at all. He just cooked and smiled a little bit. His whole section was full too, you would think he would've been putting on a show. The food and drinks it self was very good, can't complain. If you're looking for a hibachi place and you're nearby it is ideal to visit Tokyo.

Love it here. Good sushi and combo platters. Our entrees came with soup and salad for two. The scorpion bowls were good too. I know a lot of people like the Hibachi too, but we just dined in the small bar area that was less noisy. Ample parking, service was fine.

This place was kind of shitty and I'll tell you why... Actually, let's start with the good since there are two stars. The ambiance is all right it's not too bright, the bar looks cool, the place is huge with plenty of seating. Even though it was busy we still did not have a wait. The waitress we had when we first sat down had this whiny tone and meowed at us like a kitty. She pressed us to drink (which I couldn't because I look 18 and left my entire wallet at home) and then left. Myself and my dining compadre both had cokes. Which cost $3.50. I ordered the Hibachi entree with the Sirloin steak. This included a salad, soup, and veggies with steak, a shrimp appetizer, and fried rice. It was about $20. The soup came out first (from that same angry kitty waitress) and I could tell it was the onion as opposed to miso variety. It didn't have much flavor and tasted a bit oily. But I don't go out to dinner until I am starving so needless to say I nom'd the soup like a happy piglet. Next came the salad which was completely drenched in dressing and contained one gratuitous tomato. It was ginger salad dressing soup. Blergh. Then came our meal. The shrimp appetizer was probably three pieces of shrimp cut into three pieces served to us without much fanfare. We were not introduced to the three sauces in front of us. I am an adventurous eater so I dove in but I couldn't help but notice the nervous couple to our right on a first date looking bewildered at the sauce. It would have been nice if someone had provided them with a little better service. The rice was cooked first and had little flavor, the only addition was soy sauce and a little bit of egg, a couple peas and undercooked carrots. If i pay $20 for hibachi dinner I want to be able to take some home, and in this respect they really fell short. Also, you were so hungry that you ate all your rice by the time your meat came. The veggies were mostly broccoli and sprouts. Everything was a bit oily and lacking flavor. Our waiter was about as charming as a toad, much like his kitty co-worker. She also suggested I stop getting rounds of soda. She said, "You are all done with soda right? You should switch to water now?" As I said, I can be kind of a fatty but c'mon I will drink as much soda as i please (three glasses). I just think in terms of hibachi, there is way better food and happier staff to be found.

The materials are fresh and there are many kinds of sushi to choose. It is a nice place for family dinner party

We sit down and cool our heels for a waitress that takes her time getting our drink order then disappears for 10 minutes, reappearing with our drinks eventually. She disappears again for a bit before returning to take our order. Ok, a little slow but not awful....good lord...then comes the food deluge. Appetizers appear, followed in seconds by soup and salad followed literally in a few seconds by the table side chef. Let's see how fast we can get these folks in and out. Time out buddy! So the chef goes away while we begin to eat. 10 minutes later he is back not to be denied his time cooking. What an experience, jam the food down as they keep throwing it at you despite requests to slow down. Food is OK but not great. The only saving grace is they made a surprisingly good martini. Having been to similar restaurants in the Midwest and on the west coast I had some expectations which this place did not even come close to meeting.

I've been going here for years, mostly due to decent tasting food and proximity to my friend's condo. I've never had a bad experience here, but I do find it to be a bit overpriced for what it is. The drinks are mediocre, sushi is fairly good, and while the hibachi is a fun show, I also find the food to be overly greasy (which doesn't sit well in my stomach). My only real complaints are the following: I realize they need to fill tables, but WHY do they insist on putting a group of rowdy 30-somethings at a table filled with small children? I've had to apologize to parents on more than one occasion, and I'm fairly cognizant of what I'm saying around kids. Also, the service can vary. Some days we get excellent servers, other days, not so much. It has seemed rushed and like they don't want you to enjoy a meal. On my last trip, four of us split the bill in half with one card and cash, and for whatever reason the entire amount of the bill was double-charged on the card, as well as the adjusted amount (which was eventually fixed). Apparently the server thought we were leaving over $90 in tip. Good thing we check our bank statements like a hawk.
