This particular evening we were celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary.
Service was very good, our most talented chef wowed us with his knife skills, cooked our steaks and seafood to perfection, and lastly he made the evening fun for the youngest in our group of 6.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMHats Off to Chef HugoHugo is one of the best hibachi chefs at this location. He is so full of energy, and actually takes the time to cook with enthusiasm, seasoning, and love.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for what it is - decentGreat for what it is - decent teppanyaki at a chain restaurant. There's always a birthday in the room, a chef is always flipping a shrimp tail into a pocket/hat, and it never matters how you ask your filet to be cooked (it's coming out well done, medium well if you're lucky). It's overpriced, the staff don't speak loudly enough, and the wine selection is pretty grim, but they have amazing fried rice and it's always a fun time.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good experience. OnlyVery good experience. Only glitch in the evening was the bar was out of the ingredients for the first two cocktails we tried to order for my wife.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMJonathan was fantastic!!!Jonathan was fantastic!!!

The food was delicious, the chef was amazing and he interacted with everyone at the table and his tricks were amazing. The staff was great and I love dining there.... Only negative was that we had a 9pm reservation and we were not shown to the table until 9:35pm - that wait time is a bit excessive.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMEntertainment with great goodGreat food and great entertainment. Seafood is delicious and the chefs are always aiming to please. Food is always cooked to perfection.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMFun time had by allWas very entertaining. Our chef Armando was friendly and genuinely nice to us all. Talented and friendly. Unfortunately we were sitting in the smoke path and the smoke occasionally would blow to our side of the table. Don't know if the fan wasn't strong enough or if that's just the way it always works. The food was tasty.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMthis was a awsome place tothis was a awsome place to go to i have nothing bad to say at all, i would definetly return here in the future2/24/2013 12:00:00 AMI took my grandchildren 6I took my grandchildren 6 and 9 years old.
