“ I want to start by saying they have amazing service! I have food allergies and as soon as the lady who took my order found out the manager immediately came over and got more information then the chef took very good care while cooking to ensure my food didn't touch anything else on the grill. The food was amazing. I got the fillet mignon with shrimp and chicken dish. Wow, so good! The lobster was also delicious and large portions. The atmosphere was fantastic. They put on a great show and were very entertaining. Will definitely come back here again next time we're in town. ”
“ Great experience! We ordered a fillet minion and sirloin&shrimp deluxe and so on, and the fillet minion was the best like melting in mouth. ”
“ Note: The restaurant is separated into two areas - the sushi area and the teppanyaki area. Entrance is at the sushi area! We tried their teppanyaki. Food itself is tasty and fairly priced. Great spot if you are looking to dine with a bit of a culinary show by the chef! They will crack many jokes and gags along the way. Wonderful experience overall, would highly recommend for group gatherings. Seating was comfortable and decently spacious - bathrooms were also nice and private and decently clean. Will be back! ”
“ Used to think all Teppanyaki was the same. Wrong! The flavours of everything at this Yorkville location is amazing. What a gem this place is highly recommend. ”
“ The food was delicious. I recommend the sushi lunch, but don't rely on this review for what you're going to get because I only tried this! The onion soup and salad were the best appetizers I have had in what feels like years. In my opinion, there's not really any good reason to not come here. I can't really say anything good or bad about service because I didn't really interact with the workers. I would certainly come back here when I have time. 9.75/10! ”
“ Had Family in visiting from out of town for a week. Kids wanted this style of food as they love how the chef prepares and acts during the cooking. Chef was fantastic. Food was cooked to perfection. Kids were in Awe. The staff was outstanding. The decor amazing. And the place was packed. Wonderful evening I will be back again soon. Wonderful evening. Thanks so much ”
“ Have to say they deserve every stars, I went to many other Hibachi and so far, this restaurant is the best one. From the staffs to the chef, they ensure we have the best experience. The staffs were very attentive and polite, they even offered taking photo for me. The chef was professional and funny, he took good care of us. The food was phenomenal and price was very cheap considering the location, service and quality. Honestly I cant find anything to complain about. ”
“ A 5 star review for ecxellent service. The manager and staff took great care of our group, and we appreciated that a lot. The chef's performance at the grill table was very entertaining, so definitely a good place for a group dinner with some fun experience. The place was not the best place for authentic Japanese foods I must say, the tastes were modified to accommodate western people, as 90% of the guests in and out while we were there were western . Might be because I am not a big fan of grill foods, I found the tepanyaki meals were just above 3.5, while shushi could be 4 (nothing special on the shushi dinner), shasimi 5 (super good!). The desserts we had, Japanese cheesecake, caramel, ice cream, were all excellent! ”
