Me and family went there for Christmas Dinner. My daughter came home for Christmas 2025 And we didn't want to cook Christmas Dinner this year. So my daughter in law and son said let's try here for Christmas dinner. And the food was delicious. It was cool to watch them cook your food right in front of you. The atmosphere was good. There was enough food. I will go back to try other stuff.
My family and friends went here for lunch today and while the food and service was good and the atmosphere was not so good. Our cook/chef was fantastic and of course put on a great show which the kids loved. However, while sitting at the BBQ I looked off across the room at the floor just outside our sitting area and a giant cockroach was walking along looking for food. If there’s one cockroach there is a million so that was disturbing and disgusting and probably means I won’t good back. If a place can’t keep it clean enough to keep roaches out then it’s a place I don’t need to eat at.
“Disappointed With the New Share Plate Rules” I’ve been to this Japanese restaurant several times, and one thing we’ve always done is the share plate. It has always included the full meal—rice, veggies, and sides—just split between two people. We’ve never had an issue and it’s part of why we kept coming back. But this time was completely different. When they started cooking, we were told that a share plate now only comes with rice and nothing else. No veggies, no extras. That was a big surprise, and honestly disappointing. If you’re going to change something customers are used to, it needs to be made very clear either on the menu or by the server when ordering. It’s not right to wait until the food is already cooking to tell people. The food was still good, but the experience left a bad taste because of the lack of communication. I hope they improve the way they explain their new policy, because it makes a big difference in whether people want to return
The food was great and our chef was entertaining. Our only issue was the restaurant being insanely hot even before the stovetop was turned on. It did genuinely damper the experience a bit, but other than that it was a fun time at one of the few hibachi places in Huntsville.
Super fast service. We did not have to wait. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The quality of food is excellent. A great place for group dining.
