Honestly really good, classic Hibachi that is family owned. They cooked right in front of me and did a great job, definitely a place Id recommend. Steak Chicken is a really good value, and they provide plenty of rice.

If you want a delicious meal traditional Hibachi thats reasonably priced and supports a family run business then eat here! The outside of the building is run down and needs work, but who cares about the outside, when theres AMAZING food inside. Do yourself a favor and check out this hidden gem!

So appearance wise, it is significantly below average. Food wise this place takes the cake, the food was outrageously good and the drinks were on the small size but they pack a punch. I would definitely recommend.

My mother and I went here for dinner on a Sunday night. It was pretty dead which made us nervous. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The sushi chef was not there so we werent able to get sushi but it was late on a Sunday. The staff was polite and parking was good. I would go back.
