    I’ve always enjoyed coming here for food for the past few years. Usually the vegetable hibachi is what we usually get and decided to try the vegetable sushi this time, very good, will definitely be back again for our weekly visit. Line can get kinda backed up during the day so calling your order in ahead is suggested

    First visit, and it was fabulous. I ordered it wrong and received two plates instead of one for which I paid, but after viewing and eating the first plate, I decided that I made the right choice to keep the second. I ordered the hibachi #2, but online, it says 2 chicken hibachi, which is why they thought I meant 2 plates . I will be ordering again, and they were so nice and pleasant. I am so glad I tried them.

    Always consistently good for a great price. Great local business and I recommend the teryaki chicken, always hits the spot.
