The chefs provide an entertaining performance as they cook your meal right before your eyes. And the yum yum sauce? It's simply outstanding!

My husband chose to take off the raw salmon and just eat the rest. I considered sending it back, but he preferred to keep it. The fried rice was basically just plain rice with soy sauce, and I won't be ordering that again. On a brighter note, the shrimp tempura roll and California roll were pretty good.

When being seated in the hibachi area we were greeted with a busing station in disarray with stacks of dirty dishes, towels, and disheveled trays. Once at the grill we saw old food on the edges of the grill and overflowing waste trays filled with eggshells and food waste. The floor had food scattered all over the soiled looking carpet. When we looked towards the kitchen, it was an unappealing view of dirty appliances and a filthy hand washing station we never saw an employee use. While cooking our meal the hibachi chef used the same utensils to cook raw chicken and beef, which is a cross contamination nightmare. The food was mediocre and the staff was short and not friendly in the least. This was easily the worst hibachi restaurant I have ever been too.
