We came in for lunch. Eloy was our chef and he was good and quite entertaining. I had the steak and chicken, comes with a salad, fried rice and fried vegetables. I could only eat half of my meal. I ended up taking the rest to go.

Food was ok. Was extremely cold inside the entire meal. Watched another family across from us eat for 30+mins before our chef finally came out. He was excellent however and put on a good show for us. Seemed like there was only 1 waitress for the entire place so service was slow on that end.

Went for lunch Tenpanyaki. Chef was entertaining, personalable, and humorous. Food was good and full of flavor. The fried rice was wonderful. Shrimp was amazing. Overall I would highly recommend going for lunch if you have an hour or so to spend. Definitely well worth it.

The service is extremely slow. We did not have a reservation so we waited 15 minutes to be sat, then another 15 to be greeted by the server, then more time for the chef to come to the grill. The Chef was drinking beer while cooking. I’ve never witnessed that before. The food was okay. I liked that their veggies did not include mushrooms like many other hibachi places. Theirs included onion, broccoli, carrots and zucchini. Theirs were served crunchy. I prefer my rice and veggies cooked a little longer so they are softer. Their hibachi dinners are served with rice. I asked if I could add noodles and they told me no. My boyfriend asked for his steak to be prepared medium and it was served nearly well done. My lobster was also overcooked. They don’t offer you sauces. You have to ask the chef. They don’t have yum yum sauce. I paid $1.25 for spicy mayo. The salad was good. The dressing was sweet. The soup was disgusting and left a weird aftertaste. Nobody at the table ate their soup. The furniture is old and dirty. The chairs are hard. They had large fans near every table which blew my hair all over. I had to ask them to turn it off. I don’t plan to return. At the time of posting, we (party of 2) dined here once on Saturday November 1.
