"The food is OK...sushi is better than the teppan yaki. They got our orders wrong, we couldn't hear each other over the blasting music, and the drinks were made with some pretty cheap booze. On the other hand, if you would like to re-live your college party days, this is the place! Make a reservation...the line is truly insane. Free parking behind the restaurant."

"food was excellent but the service was poor...we had a reservation and still had to wait an hour and 15 min to be seated ...after being seated we ordered drinks an waited 45 min to order food and 30 more minutes to have it cooked needless to say the waiter and cook were very nice...they just need to have more people available on a busy night!"

"Well I have eaten here 3 times before my last visit. I was with a group of 5 where 3 people in my group have never been. I booked my reservation 4 days in advance for 9pm. When we got there we had to wait almost 40 mins to be seated! We spoke with the manager and hostess because to me it was unacceptable to make a RESERVATION and have to wait nearly 40 mins! Other than that major frustration the food was very good!"

"Kobe steak is highly overated, my wife's filet mignon was way more tender than my kobe steak. Service was descent, the show is better than benihana, and the food is about the same. I would go back if i was with a bunch of friends and we were gonna have alot of drinks, but for the family i will stick to benihana."

"We took some guests from out of state to our favorite sushi spot. Made a point to sit at the grill to watch the show. However the grill master was so boring and didn't do any of the tricks that make the evening so much fun. Very dissapointed this time but the food was good."

"We took our son to Sunday lunch for his 16th birthday. He's crazy about Japanese food and an aspiring chef, so the teppanyaki show seemed the perfect way to celebrate.
After I made my reservation, I called to confirm that the lunch reservation included the show, and to note that we were celebrating a birthday.
When our party of 8 arrived at 12:30, there were only a dozen people in the restaurant. The server was fine, though we had to ask for one lunch that was ordered from the kids menu. It came out from the kitchen well after the rest of us had been served.
And the birthday dessert I asked for was delivered unceremoniously.
The chef was skilled, and did a couple of flaming tricks, but he was quiet and not fun or interactive. NOT Rock"
