Reviews

I have this family that comes in every morning for coffee and they recommended me to try their job out. Went with the girls for our monthly dinner. Loved the personal atmosphere with our own corner room. Of course loved having my friend/customer, Cheif Robert cook for us. Food was amazing and cooked well. Definitely recommend.

If you love hibachi and great service this is the place to go! The staff are incredible and recognized us as soon as we walked in. I highly recommend Peter or Daniel . They both have the best shows and knew our order like the back of their hand. The food is amazing and the prices are worth the quality and quantity of the meals. The number 11 is our favorite with the filet and shrimp. The meat is tender and juicy and the veggies are perfectly seasoned and still has that nice bite. I love this place and will be back many times going forward.

This place is great! Sure, it might not be the nicest, most modern establishment. But the staff was super sweet, chef was hilarious. They respected our food preferences (some no veggies etc). Food was well seasoned and tasted great! We paid around $100 for two very full plates of food, sushi and a cocktail that came with a souvenir glass and included gratuity. Highly recommended

Amazing service and delicious food prepared in a fun, relaxed environment. Enjoyed our anniversary and made to feel very special by te chef, his daughter and the rest of the staff. Will visit again and recommend to others.

We had an incredible dining experience! The food (Daily Special - Beef, Chicken & Shrimp) was absolutely delicious and expertly seasoned, making every bite a delight. Our server was attentive and made sure we never ran low on sauces or drinks. The highlight of the night was definitely the hibachi chef, who not only cooked our meal to perfection but also entertained us with his impressive skills and fun tricks. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal! Highly recommend!

This is one of the best Japanese Steak Houses I have ever been to! The showmanship of the cook, the service itself, the prices, and the quality of the food were beyond superb! If you are in the area, definitely stop in and give them a go, they'll give you a show! Thanks, Sumo for an all-around great experience.
