Lunch is 16 3 sushi rolls and a salad or soup. With fast food getting into the teens for a combo meal why not come in here and eat a way better quality meal. Pretty sure there's a lot less chemicals or processed food in my sushi. This place has a great atmosphere. Low lighting and people are jonesing to get you what ever you want. 10/10 will be here many lunches.

I have absolutely no complaints except I ate too much and don't feel like driving home. Lol Clear Soup is Chef's Kiss...so much flavor in such a small bowl. Tuna Sashimi was delicious (wish they had a spicy dipping sauce). Rock Shrimp was a great appetizer. That sauce had a hint of sweetness that was delectable. Ask for Joe. He seasons the hell outta your hibachi meal. My Strip Steak was medium and juicy. Customer Service was great and prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back!

Ladies night out, celebrating a friend's birthday! Great food, excellent service. Our birthday girl even got the birthday song. One of the ladies only wanted veggies, they gracefully accommodated. Another one of the ladies wanted shrimp fried rice and they made it special to order for her. Our hibachi chef was hilarious. It was a great overall experience dining at Izakaya! We had a party of 9 and the seating accommodated us comfortably. Highly recommended.

I had the cucumber roll , a California roll , and a small fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! The few times I've gone I normally do the hibachi side however sharing a table with strangers usually gets a little weird. My last experience was Dec 2023, for my wife's birthday not sure if because we are an LGBT couple. But the other people we were set with, just felt the need to stare the entire time and move down in their chair. so I really don't like dinning in anymore , I prefer to just do their take out unless I have a large group of just all my people I love the decor, the dim lighting, upon entrance & the customer service .

They played with my kids and interacted with them. Our son is special needs and they let him know each time they were going to do something so that he would not be alarmed. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend it!

My husband arranged a birthday party here and it was great but that's not why I was moved to leave a review. A very meaningful birthday present was accidentally left and I didn't notice until the next morning. They couldn't hadn't seen it when I called and I resigned myself to driving over and literally searching their dumpster. (Yes, it was that meaningful.) When I arrived I checked in again just to see if it had turned up. It hadn't, but the staff saw that I'd begin to cry a bit and about five people spontaneously rushed out back, emptied the dumpster for me, insisted that I let them, and found the gift in minutes. Anyway, they were so kind, and so deserving of praise. And there's so little that I can do to show them just how much the gesture was appreciated. But in a time where folks in general seem less humane, the staff here really touched my heart and saved a precious memory for me.

OMGoodness this is the best hibachi grill in the state from what I was hearing and after trying the food...I'll have to agree. I've been to others but none as delicious as this. The cook new exactly how to make our food and was even accommodating to those with allergies, work event. Will return delicious spicy dragon roll!!!
