    Asked for a booth. Got table and chairs. Window area was very drafty and cold. Waitress was great.

    The food was pretty solid hibachi and pretty generous portion sizes. The service was good, but the hibachi chef was uninspired. I’ve never seen one completely fail on the onion volcano! He seemed more focused in cooking quickly than entertaining, which should be part of the hibachi experience, no?

    Despite having a reservation days in advance, we were put in the back room that is claustrophobic and has very little ventilation. Our clothes now need to be cleaned because they smell like burned oil. Do not eat here. Burlington has much better options.
