Surprisingly my first time here...
This is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" type deals. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but it's quite the hidden little gem
Sushi bar, Hibachi grills, and regular tables,
but we wanted Hibachi-
Comes w/ salad with a really good ginger dressing, but a LOT of it,.. almost like soup in the bottom. (But i didn't come for salad, so i was not deterred)
After salad- soup. Not sure what it was,.. Mostly tasted like a chicken broth with a few onions sliced in, but i ate almost all of it, so there ya go
Then comes the show!
So much fun. Don't remember our guy's name, but he was awesome.
Everything ordered- Filet Mignon, Shrimp, Lobster, Chicken, Steak
Every single thing DELICIOUS and perfectly cooked.
(Found a tiny bit of shell in the lobster, but didn't mind)
Rice and veggies were good as well, I don't eat onions though, and there were a lot, so i had to pick them out, but next time I'll know to order without onions possibly
I'm not a big sushi person, but looking through these pictures from the past reviews, I may just have to try some! It did look good walking by the sushi bar
WILL BE BACK! -

The place is closing in June and the owners are moving to Texas. What does that tell you?
So here we go .....Today, Mother's Day, their service was horrible. I have eaten there before and it was really good. So.... we arrive and find their is a wait. No problem. Most good eating establishments have a waiting time. When we are seated at the grille and wait... 30 minutes pass before someone comes to take our drink order. Then the waitress could get our soup or salad orders straight. Should have just left then. Then one of the owners tells us that this past Friday one of the cooks just up and walked out with no notice....nothing. His cousin happened to end up being our cook. So they are short a cook. The people sitting across from us at the grille on their side looked like they had been waiting a long time. Not one smile on their faces. They had two cooks and 6 grills I believe. So an hour passed and the cook that had his back to us just turned around and began our meal. He did one fun thing by popping the string out of the mustard bottle and that was it. Cooked the rice and by the time he did the veggies the rice was cold. Then hardly any vegetables. Then he began the steak , chicken and shrimp. The steak was ordered med rare... it was medium to well done. The shrimp was the only thing done right. While he was cooking the chicken he up and walked away leaving it cooking for a few minutes unattended. When served It was dry and tough.
The whole experience just sucked. I took one bite of the cold rice and nasty chicken and that was it. I didn't touch another bite.
This place needs to go ahead and close. The owners are moving to Texas and they could give two rats a$$es less about quality of service.
AVOID THIS PLACE if you want to keep what enjoyment as a lasting memory you have.
This isn't a reflection of the owners. They seem to be nice people. This is about our service this day. -

Best sushi I have eaten in this area hands down and probably among the top 2-3 I have EVER been to. The ginger dressing on the salad was good enough to drink. Amazing! The service was beyond exceptional with the most friendly staff of any restaurant I can remember going to. I can't find a single thing negative about the whole experience from start to finish. I can't see why anyone would give it less than 5 stars.
