2 /5 Bill Stuckart: My experience here left a lot to be desired. Dining in, you should be mindful that this place says its hibachi and sushi, but operates more as a takeout restaurant. You will not be given any utensils, you will grab them yourself, and your food will come in Styrofoam containers.
The staff were kind but I felt like more of an inconvenience than I did a customer. Ordering was kind and simple but when my food was brought out, it felt like presentation was an afterthought and that the server was trying to avoid me, which contributed to what I felt was a bad dining experience. Ill get back to this later, but on the topic of dining experience, this is where this place really needs improvement. The floors are sticky, the tables sticky, the lights are dim and the overall atmosphere feels like a crypt. That combined with self serve utensils, Styrofoam, and unlabeled bottles of mystery sauces which I didnt bother trying, made the whole experience feel unwelcoming. That all on top of being sneaked my hibachi meal onto the table while I was looking away made me feel again, that I was more a nuisance eating there than I was staying. Conveniently, my steak hibachi being in a takeout container made it an easy choice to take it home and eat it in a comfortable environment.
Horrible dining experience aside, the food was alright. Sushi was cheap and sufficiently good for the price point, and the steak hibachi has some well cooked vegetables and good rice. The steak itself though was a little soggy and rather bland.
Overall, this place would be great to get takeout from and eat elsewhere, and the food is decent and priced well. However, given my dining experience, I cannot recommend it and will not be coming back.
