12/9/22 back for the lunch special. Drunk man noodles with chicken - wow! The flavor is really good. I loved that it had the right amount of heat in the dish, just enough to keep eating without needing to drink. Good portion size for $13 mid-week lunch special. Comes with soup or salad, on this chilly day i went with the miso soup, it was nice. Pork soup dumplings (4)- they were good but the dumpling was thin, so it's easily broken before it makes it into the spoon, so be careful, eh And some nice hot green tea! Service was good as well. I will return! 12/10/21 first time here. I had the lunch special Longevity noodles w/chicken. It was good and a good deal for a lunch special. Service was quick, Christopher my waiter, was really efficient and I saw him taking care of pretty much all the tables in the place and he had it under control. I'll be back to try the pork soup dumplings!

Great time for a large group on * special * occasions because it is pricey. The chef was awesome and attentive. Someone in our party had an allergy to shellfish and they made his food in the kitchen which was awesome. The drinks were really good and made well. And the food tasted amazing.

Update from four years ago: this restaurant is still excellent. I highly recommend the shrimp tempura roll and the lobster/shrimp dumplings. Drinks are too strong for me. Review from 2018: the filet mignon hibachi is the best! Fresh and flavorful food. Great service.

It's a decent hibachi place, the food was good, with some nice options if you're not after hibachi. I liked the interior design and the staff was very nice. The location makes it a great option if you're in the area. However if you're after an authentic hibachi place I wouldn't say it's the best place for the experience.

Went once it opened up for lunch, so the Hibachi chef wasn't available to cook in front of us. It was nice, and quiet..Shrimp Dumplings, and Shrimp Potstickers were pretty good for appetizers. I enjoyed the Teryaki Salmon. Next time, I would like the Hibachi experience.

The food is good and the service was also good but the atmosphere is awful. If you're a family with small children or a group of teenagers going there for the hibachi, then I guess it's the atmosphere you're looking for. But it is not a good place for a regular dinner. The hibachi area is in the middle of the dining room and is very loud. Also, it seems that this is where everyone takes their children for their birthdays and these are celebrated with not only singing staff, but a very loud gong! Order takeout or skip it.

This is our second time at this location. The sushi area seems to be always empty. The hibachi scene this time was active and rarely lively. Upon our arrival there was no hostesses or wait staff to greet us or to seat us. The special rolls are relatively large and tasty. The menu font is a bit tiny so make sure to read carefully or ask questions. They received a three star rating for amount of time it took for a staff member to realize we were waiting to be seated and after attempting to flag down the bartender and two members of their staff. Truly disappointing. The food is good and recommend if you’re in the mood for some sushi

Came here on a busy night, the hibachi tables were full so we had to be seated at a standard table which was understandable. Although it was busy there weren’t many workers there. That evening we had several issues with the service, however the food was actually decent besides the very cold vegetables. The steak was seasoned and tender, and the appetizers were delicious, which actually makes me consider going back for the hibachi tables (with hopes the service might be a little better). The waiters did bring several incorrect orders to our tables, we weren’t provided utensils either. After repeatedly attempting to get a waiters attention, he seemed to intentionally ignore us several times throughout the evening. They also forgot an extra rice, and when it was given the waiter handed the rice with his entire hand over, and touching the rice. The hibachi tables looked fun and seemed more attended to.

I made a reservation on google and it wasn’t clear it wasn’t for hibachi. It was for a table. We waited until the kind host could get us in. Service took forever and was messy. Server gave me a Coke instead of iced tea. Couldn’t find a server to fix it. Appetizers came out after the entrees were served (it’s just soup and salad). Gratuity is included (20%) so they are not in the business of good service. Chef served me just steak even though I had ordered steak and chicken. Food was over-sauced, over-seasoned, and overall disappointing at the price point. This place obviously benefits from the swarms of UWS kids that celebrate birthdays - not their commitment to service / food.

This place is a bit run down. Has a slight odor when you walk in. The food was okay, however I saw a mouse scurry across the dining room floor which killed the mood. Came at 9 something on a Wednesday and I understand the staff was trying to hurry up and close by 10:30. Ate fast and asked for a to go container all before then, but our server couldn’t hide her irritation. (Ended up not mattering because the mouse made me lose my appetite.) Another table she looked after also walked over to her asking for a beer they’d ordered a beer they ordered a while ago.

If you're looking for a noisy and hectic dinner environment, this is your place. And though the food is okay it's way overpriced. We both had a headache after we left. Too many better restaurants to choose from. I wouldn't recommend.

We often have hibachi whenever we’re traveling and last night was no exception. Our first trip to the big apple and dinner was a huge disappointment. We were the first three customers in the door and the only ones there until another family arrived towards the middle of our dining experience. Pros: ✅Beef dumplings and the filet steak was the best part of the whole meal. ✅Clean establishment ✅ Friendly and entertaining hibachi cook 🅿️Parking was easy (we might have just gotten lucky) CONS: ❌Claims cage free chicken but it was dry and no amount of teriyaki sauce could fix it. ❌ Noodle side was slimy and inedible. ❌They used jasmine rice for the fried rice and for whatever reason it tasted like bleach. I will never understand anyone who uses jasmine for fried rice. ❌ 20% mandatory gratuity regardless of party size! I paid $29.20 in gratuity for three people (only ones at our table) and only saw the waiter twice. He picked our drinks up about 15 minutes before we left to never return with a refill. We all left thirsty. Couldn’t imagine if we had a full table of people. That waiter would have made $30-90 for an hour of little to no service. Absolutely appalling! $175 for a subpar meal for three😒
