My favorite Japanese/hibachi in the area. Great food and staff. You can eat at the grill where the chefs put on a show, there's also a more chill sit down section in the front or izakaya which is more adult vibes.

It always a great time. Far superior food to the higher priced restaurant down the street. And, the best part is the restaurant doesn't fill with smoke as soon as they start the grills. 10 out of 10

Went for date night. Nice atmosphere. Great food and service. Decent beer selection. Great sushi. Decent prices too. Highly recommend the BSCR roll, which just melts in your mouth. Unlike any sushi I've had.
