sushi fail. the sushi here is abysmal. their specialty "pink lady roll" - which is supposed to contain crawfish and crab - looked like some wet bandages had been stuck to day oldriceand around minced white cardboard. there was no crawfish to be found, only fake crabmeat slathered in mayo. gross. the waitress was unable to provide us with any information as to the prices of any of the rolls on the menu and so we were surprised when the bill came and the pink lady rang in at $17. the waitress was also unfamiliar with any of the fish on the sushi menu and asked us to describe them to her. all this, after waiting about 45 minutes to eat in an uncrowded restaurant. we ended up here because we were starving and the wait at ichiban was over an hour. my advice - take the wait unless you want a stomach full of regret and yesterday's chum.

my wife and i went for a late lunch the other day. i'm a huge fan of sashimi and seeing a traditional dish like chirashi i had to order it. the fish i received was mediocre at best, less then fresh caught. the chefs seem to want to cover their plates with inedible plant matter to make the plate look more full, garnishments that the eater is forced to remove from their meal. the worst offense came with the rice; chirashi is supposed to be sashimi served on a bed of seasoned sushi rice. thericethat i got was completely unseasoned and not nearly sticky enough.

hibachi deliciousness. went there for the hibachi. we had the shrimp, steak and chicken. definitely kind of expensive but typical for hibachi. considering how much food was served definitely worth the price. thericeis just hibachi rice, but the noodles are really good. definitely some of the better yellow sauce i've had at hibachi. overall we were really satisfied with the meal and will be going back for dinner.

hibachi!! simply amazing. i was very pleased with this place. we had the steak, chicken, shrimp and scallops hibachi and it was all great. the chicken was the most tender chicken i have ever eaten. the steak was also some of the best i have had anywhere.

the friedriceand lo mein noodles were outstanding as well. the salad and soup were also perfect and refreshing. i could not have been happier with the overall experience and the food! i will be back for sure.
