Enjoy a new experience in Japanese dining surrounded by Oriental Splendor. Our chef"s are part magician, part craftsman, part entertainer.

"Service was phenomenal, chef was very entertaining, but the food left a lot to be desired...the filet was butter tender...scallops were large sea scallops, very good as well...the problem was that it was not very well seasoned...Kobe's is much better."

"My pregnant wife and I decided to go out to dinner for Valentines day, and to make sure we could get a seat on a busy night, we made reservations. We even made them off peak (8:30pm), to be sure that my wife wouldn't have to wait to get food (pregnant women need to eat VERY regularly). We arrived on time, only to be told that they were running late, and would have to wait 20-30 minutes. All they offered us was an half-hearted apology and directed us towards the bar where we could order appetizers. I was very disappointed. Fortunately the rest of the staff were great, the bartender got us our appetizer quickly, and once we were finally seated, everything went well."

"Disappointed with quantity of food provided compared to the direct competitor. Ambiance appeared cheap. The cook left out certain parts of the meal and show."
