Love this place! The staff is great, so friendly. The food is always awesome, not over cooked and very very tasty. The place is clean, and is kept clean. I don't live down here, but whenever I am down here, its my spot for my eats.

The service was excellent. I'm very glad that they reopened. The waitress "Jamie" was extra hospitable and definitely deserves a tip because she made the experience that much more better for me and my family. I do recommend to come here if you're into hibachi. I specifically got the chicken and shrimp hibachi and it was delicious I'll be back every week at least once a week for a little hibachi.
