The one thing you expect from a good dining experience is excellent service, even if the food is only okay, service quality can make or break the experience. We sat in the Chinese side , our waitress was very short and rude with us. Her tone and attitude suggested she did not want to be there. She had no interest... More

We have done the Japensese hibachi side quite a few times, always a good time. Went to the Japanese (menu service) side and were disappointed. More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

A sort of awkward mix of Japanese and Chinese cuisine with two separate menus. I wanted a meal at one of the hibachi tables, but my wife ended up ordering from the Chinese menu, so she sat with me and two other couples while the chef did his act. The food was okay and not overpriced, but the chef's skills... More

Simply put, good service and good food. On a Friday night around 7:30pm the Chinese side offered immediate seating as the Japanese side appeared busier. We've been before to the Japanese side for parties with large groups, so we thought we'd try the Chinese side and we were pleased with the choice. The Sashimi Combination with 7 different pieces of... More

This restaurant has long been a favorite of mine and reservations are highly recommended any night of the week. One of the things I love best about this Japanese Steakhouse is that they make an egg yolk batter they will place on your seafood or vegetables that is probably life threatening but so worth it. The Chefs are responsive to... More

under-rated and located in a weird spot. this is a great date night, hibachi style cooking but they have killer shrimp and filet mignon. their steak is better than the chop house imo. forget the chain restaurants and go here; much better than kobe. More

My husband and I love hibachi restaurants, but since we were planning on bringing our 19 month old daughter along for the ride, (we were coming from out of town, so a babysitter was not an option) I have to admit that I was a little hesitant. I hadn't read anything about this being a family friendly environment, and I... More

Interesting place with good food and lots of it. Too bad we were traveling and couldn't take a doggy bad, so much food we couldn't finish our meals. Didn't care for the sauces that accompany the meal, but I'm spoiled by our local establishment here in Naples. Chef puts on a nice show and great entertainment for the kids. More
