Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Got takeout! Steak&shrimp was absolutely delicious, stk was so tender- my husband got the chicken &shrimp, also delicious! Spicy tuna roll - yum! Shrimp tempura roll- so so good! EAT HERE 😋
My rating is in hopes that this restaurant will improve. I ordered take out from here and I was not impressed. Maybe I am have gotten snobby with hibachi since I have enjoyed it on both coasts. Sakura located in Altus, OK does a much better job. The place is small so there should not be a need for a claw machine or tourist trap trinkets in the front of the restaurant. This says to me that we don't trust the quality of our product enough not to try and seduce your kids into pestering parents for some machine fed bobble. Next the food. Ordered Edamame. It is supposed to have sea salt all over it yet it only had a pinch of sea salt on a 1/8 of a portion as an after thought. It also had black flakes all over it which I thought was pepper. I had never heard of pepper on this before. It didn't taste like pepper so I can only think that the beans were not rinsed before preparation. Gyoza (Japanese dumpling) I have eaten at steamed dumpling restaurants in Hawaii and have never been asked if I wanted fried or steamed gyoza. I am thinking of the hundreds of pictures you can get on the internet where it may have been steamed yet it will be pan fried/seared. Nope just dropped in a a frier like french fries. This is lazy gyoza. I ordered the steak and scallop hibachi and the steak and shrimp hibachi. Everything here was cooked well. the steak was done to medium as requested. I would say the flavor, while it did have some, was underwhelming. The fried rice had just enough soy sauce to change the color of the rice yet I guess there was no MSG added, basically bland for fried rice. It was as if the rice was steamed with soy sauce rather than being fried rice which can happen when the rice is not dehydrated a bit overnight. The chicken looked as if I had pan fried it at home. No Americanized dipping sauces were provided you would find in the states: yum-yum, ginger sauce and not even any ponzu or yakiniku no tare that you would find in Japan. I ordered the egg drop soup to go along with the meal. This is the first time I have ever seen egg drop soup that was as orange as President Trump. Tasted fine. Just odd. The quality of the meal did not meet a threshold to garner industry standard pricing. I know we are in deep East Texas, but we should still have better standards. It may have been that the ball was dropped because they were busy when I ordered or the staff felt less attention can be placed on a to-go order, I don't know. Overall I was disappointed.

Absolutely love this place! The food is so good what's the capital of different Asian spins on plates. I have a friend that drives in 45 minutes just to eat here with me.
