My husband and I love this place for sushi. I can’t speak of their hibachi because I haven’t tried it. But we enjoy the calm Sumo atmosphere, and every time the sushi has been fresh and delicious. Pictured is our “Love Boat for Two,” which is always elegantly presented, and the delicious shrimp tempura appetizer.

Great, attentive service. We loved everything that we ordered, especially the octopus appetizers. Sushi was fresh and delicious! Unfortunately a couple that was not so nice was seated next to us and ruined our experience, but it did not detract from our enjoyment of food and service! Thank you!

Loved the experience! 10/10 will go back! Sushi rolls, Fantastic and Tiger, were delicious! And we ordered steak udon noodle stir fry which was very flavorful too. Can’t wait to go back!

Went here for an early dinner. The place was kinda hidden from the crowd although it’s in the business areas. The food was as great as described by one of my friends, the highlight was Sake Sashimi as it was very thick, fresh, and melted in the mouth. We also got Takoyaki, assorted rolls and chicken rice with omelette on top of it also hot miso soup which tasted so good to warm your tummy. The assorted rolls were okay and tasted different between one another even though they looked the same. The takoyaki balls were yummy and the food stuffing was perfectly fit the balls so the balls were not as empty. In addition to that, the cold water they gave was somewhat super fresh and tasted normal – I think we just went to a place with a weird tasted cold water so it saved our palate. The staffs were great and the service was fast although we sat far away from the view range of the servers but I believe they have the wireless waiter call buttons yet I don’t know if it worked or not when I pushed the button. One advice is to increase the light brightness a bit so it could help some customers to see clearly and probably not getting drowsy eyes while eating, overall it was an amazing dinner experience.Recommended to try their other dishes including the Hibachi ones!

Excellent Japanese food close to downtown Ithaca. They have an extensive menu and beverage options too! The service was friendly. I didn’t get a chance to enjoy the hibachi section but something to look forward to. The parts that I did observe the patrons seemed to be enjoying the show. Definitely worth eating here!

Out of state, visiting, 2 kids and my wife. Had bad experience with food with the other Asian restaurant. Thought this one will be better and read the reviews.

Their food is really overpriced for the portion and taste. The yakisoba I ordered was super bland and I couldn’t believe they were charging $15 for the amount that they gave you. I feel like you could find a better Japanese place within the same price range.

The food is decent and you can get hibachi meals at the tables without being in the hibachi room. I stuck to the plain sushi rolls that were about $7 each instead of the fancy ones that are $14-17 and was happy with the spicy kami roll. The sweet potato tempura roll was okay but the tempura was undetectable. Server was nice but we ordered a side of hibachi rice and just got white rice, not what we expected and I’m not sure if she just misunderstood. It’s always loud here and full of college kids, without fail. One time it was a fraternity night and they were at every table it seemed. Today we walked in and the waiting area was a mess of people. I waited trying to see if there was a list of names to call etc but no one was approachable and we just had to wait until the room cleared out to ask for a table, but one was available so it worked out just was a stressful wait of unknown in a crowd of people thinking we’d be overlooked. It’s a solid place to go though for sushi or hibachi for what else is available in the area though if you don’t mind noise and a small wait.

Good place to eat on special occasions, sushi are fresh and delicious. Would come back again. Convenient location with plenty of parking, only thing is prices has been increasing over the years and lunch special is now more expensive.
