"Sunday around 6pm. Dinner for two, dine in. The place was busy to say the least. To go orders being picked up, ordering at the register and the phone was ringing every few minutes with another to go order. The dining area is a decent size with tables throughout and a few plants adorn a 1/2 wall separating the dining area from the register. A little spruce up of the area and maybe a light coat of paint on the walls would definitely brighten up a not-so-bright eating area. We got our drinks, found a table and a short time later, our food was brought out. We ordered hibachi steak, no veggies, with extra steak and hibachi chicken and shrimp with white rice and ginger sauce with 2 drinks. Our meals were very good. The temperature of the food could have been a bit warmer - the white rice seemed more room temperature. The amount of steak, chicken, and shrimp was awesome! And even though the shrimp are on the smaller side, they do give you a good amount to enjoy. While the atmosphere isn't the most up to date, all of the staff we observed from the lady at the counter, to the cooks in the back, to the lady who brought out the meal....they were all friendly and busy. We enjoyed a very good meal, with large portions, free drink refills and all at a price we didn't choke on. Thank you for a great meal!"

"Not worth the money at all. $33 Bucks for these 3 items that were only "OK" at best. One is the Teriyaki Steak (Dinner), the other is the Teriyaki Steak & Chicken (Dinner) with a side order of French fries. Dry flavorless steak and chicken, sickly sweet with too much teriyaki sauce. Over cooked veggies as the side and crunchy rice. The best item here were the fries."

"I got the lunch teryaki chicken, veggies, soup and salad with ginger dressing for around $14. The soup was just ok, it had a little flavor but tasted a little watered down. The salad was a regular iceberg salad and the portion was good. I wish they would have put it in a styrofoam container instead of a small bowl, so it would have been easier to mix in the dressing. The ginger dressing was very tasty. The teryaki sauce and the chicken tasted pretty good, however I was surprised at how small the portion was which was much less than what you get at most japanese restaurants at lunch time. The "veggies" are just onions and zucchini, I was not happy with that and wish they included more variety. Overall, everything tasted ok but because the chicken portion is so small, the soup tasted watered down and due to the lack of variety of vegetables- I probably won't come back here for lunch again. 5.5/10"

"I just want to say I have been coming here at least 2 times a week and it's not getting old. This place is so amazing and the food portions are very big. The owner Jimmy is one of the kindest restaurant owners I know. He and his staff greet me by my first name every time I come here..The atmosphere is very friendly and clean. Such a shame that it is so hidden because many people are missing out for not knowing this amazing Gem exists..Thank you Jimmy and this amazing staff for making it an absolute joy to come eat here twice a week.."
