This is a traditional Japanese grill, with large 8 top tables (Two per chimney) but the kids just LOVE it. Good food, great entertainment, and rather high prices. Compare to Shogun. More

Wasabi was just ok in my opinion. My kids enjoyed it, and the chef at our table/grill was entertaining, but the food was just average. The group of people we were seated with somewhat detracted from the experience . . . they were a younger group and drinking a lot .. . we were there with our elementary/preteen kids. Just... More

It was a bit far from our hotel bit worth the drive. Typical Japanese Hibachi style eating. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had sushi that can rival just about any place in Boston or New York. Overall, a great experience. More

Visited this popular restaurant on a very busy Saturday night with people waiting everywhere (a testimony to the delicious food). The management was adept at keeping the crowds happy and seating them as quickly as possible. Luckily for us, most of the traffic was for the steakhouse portion of the restaurant: we sushi devotees were seated relatively soon. The choices... More

Fun place to go! Food is great, but what our family looks forward to (the 21 and over group) is the sake. The cooks are very liberal with the sake around the table and everyone has a great time. More

The chef at our Tapanyaki table didn't speak good English and I told him my fiance had a seafoof allergy and he put my shrimp on his place. But the food was good otherwise. More

Best Hibachi chef we've ever seen! The guy made great food, and he was as funny as many stand up comedians! We had a great time! More

We have been to the hibachi twice and enjoyed both times. It's a dimly lit and rather noisy place--not a place for intimate conversation. The chefs are wonderfully entertaining. The last one kept the children interested and the adults laughing. The food is decent too, but the sauces are better. The last time we went, there was eight of us,... More
