I have gone to this restaurant many times and have never had a bad experience. The sushi is wonderful and you can't go wrong with anything made in front of you by the experienced chefs. More

My family and I live nearby and love Japanese food. We go here at least once a month and have never been disappointed. My grandson, who is the only one of us who likes sushi, says it is very good.

This is a nice building with lots of seating. One can sit around the grill to be entertained as the food is being cooked or can sit at a table and order food to be brought to the table. More

If you are up for Japanese, this is the place. Great hibachi food cooked for you at your table. Sushi is great too... better than you would expect in the middle of the BBQ-heavy Abilene. More

Dine in for family of four for daughter's birthday dinner. Standard very good hibachi steak and chicken. Agree with other reviews that the sushi could do without all the mayo sauce on the top. More
