This was an extreme disappointment and total waste of money. As a visitor from the East Coast, it’s difficult for us to understand restaurants without air conditioning – and it gets pretty warm in there from the hibachi. Additionally, the seafood is much different on the West Coast than the East Coast (to each their own). West Coast salmon is much different than Atlantic salmon, and much saltier. We dined here the last week of June 2023 and each ordered from the teppanyaki menu, but chose to sit in a booth as opposed to sitting at the grills.

This is an excellent dining experience. The atmosphere is beautiful. The service is incredible, fast and very nice. The food is delicious. My husband and I chose the combo set dinners. I really love their teriyaki salmon and sushi. My husband loves the tempura.

Had dinner with my sisters. The food was good. They give you so much that it is well worth the cost. I now have leftovers for at least two meals.

It’s ok they were busy didn’t perform too well. Had to asked about when the soup was several times. Chef was nice but didn’t think he did too much with the kids. Food was ok. But I like Shogun teppan taste better

Used to come here for years but the last 2 times I have been here there was multiple dirty dishes, to find out they don’t even use a dishwashing machine. this last visit there was hair in my sushi. They were unapologetic and offered nothing as far as makining us feel better about the situation. Very sad I will NEVER visit a resuraunt I once loved.

This place is so delicious and the go to for the Teppan grilled show, always. Filet mignon and shrimp was excellent. Teriyaki chicken and shrimp just as tasty. If you’re in the area and looking for delicious Japanese dining, try them out. You will not be disappointed.
