All 4 times we have been here the food and service has been on point. If you come on a Friday night expect to wait up to 30 minutes to be seated as it’s quite popular due to its fresh and delicious food. Yesterday our server Roy was unbelievable and provided amazing service and has only worked there 3 days. Tiffany the busgirl was extremely friendly and provided excellent service.

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.

My Fiancee and I were here two days ago and this is our 3rd time back! We love it here, atmosphere is great and service is fast! Food is always delicious and consistent. This time we tried the Hibachi as a recommendation from our server April and WOW it was amazing!!! Service from April was absolutely amazing, she's extremely personable, checked on us in the perfect moments, and was super kind and funny! We could see other people she served around us too having a great time! Other than that we also got a little surprise from the kitchen when our food was brought out and it made my day! My sushi roll (the shaggy dog) was amazing but the picture was just so cute! 100% coming back, thanks for the great service!

Was a little bit intimidated to try this place as the buffet/all you can eat is limited to only what you can eat, you’ll be charged extra for what you do not finish. However, our waitress Ferren was extremely thorough at explaining the menu and the process of how to order. We ended up ordering a lot of variety of food since everything comes out in small portions. The food came out extremely fast each time. We ordered tuna tataki, yellowtail on fire, yellowtail sashimi (limit is 20 per order but you can also request specific amount each time), vegetable noodles, steak hibachi, mango roll, and tempura cheesecake with ice cream. EVERYTING was amazing. Again thank you to our outstanding waitress. The place was clean, great service, and amazing atmosphere. Will return!!
