I will make this short and simple the food was delicious. I have been getting the filet mignon dinner bento box for at least 6 years now. However when you first walk in if there's nobody up front you're going to have to wait until someone finally notices you. I would have given five stars, but while we were eating they were blaring religious I love Jesus music the whole time we were eating. For a Japanese restaurant ran by Chinese to have religious music playing it really kills the experience and atmosphere. I must add that if you ever do an online order from this place theres a very good chance that they're going to forget something or give you the wrong meat.

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.

They don’t wear name tags which honestly makes sense as the service here is overall bad. The older lady that works here is mean. I’ve watched her yell at to paying customers for not “tipping enough”. I think that is abhorrent behavior and we will not be coming back, as the food is not good enough to overlook this behavior. Full disclosure - they don’t even do actual hibachi either. They make everything in the kitchen so idk why they expect grand tips when they don’t even do what’s advertised. The other server who’s a younger woman is much nicer however this doesn’t negate the bad behavior they allow. I didn’t see anyone else working get on to the mean old lady. I don’t know if she’s the boss but honestly that’s worse. Just go to one of the many buffets around Jasper for cheaper big meal(s) or Ohanas if your willing to spend a lil more for better service + food.

The service was top-notch, with a friendly and kind staff that made us feel right at home. While wait times can vary, trust me when I say it's well worth it - the sushi is absolutely divine! Fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, each dish was a delight to the senses. If you're a sushi lover like me, do yourself a favor and give this place a try.
