A good hibachi style Japanese experience. Well prepared and fun for a large group. I had the grilled tuna medium rare and it was prepared just right.

We recently went here for my birthday celebration, the food and service were impeccable. You have a choice of traditional dining room or hibachi. This time we chose hibachi, and we chose wisely. While the prices are a bit high, you will get plenty of food and entertainment, as the hibachi chefs show off their skills. They do not take... More

The food is ok and the restaurant has potential but I can't enjoy myself when every 30 minutes a group of employees come out from the kitchen pounding on drums to celebrate a birthday. We'll be in the middle of a conversation and then the ridiculously loud drumming starts and we have to decide whether to wait it out for... More

Have eaten here twice hoping it would be better, it's not. Really low to avg sushi, not worth the price at all. I don't know how this place continues other than there is little competition for Japanese food.

We stopped here for lunch today. We decided to get the sushi buffet because it was only a few dollars more than the menu items we were planning to get. BIG mistake (although I don't know that the menu items would have been better). We should have known to leave when they didn't even provide chopsticks at the table --... More

I came here for dinner with some coworkers while traveling on business in O'Fallon. The restaurant has a wide variety of sushi plates to choose from. We did the hibachi grill experience where a chef prepared all of our food at the grill built into our table. After cooking our food, the chef tossed shrimp in the air for us... More

i spent 40 dollars on three orders of egg rolls. two tiny soups, and a bowl of noodles. Everything was very bland.. and fried. i asked for spring rolls that were not fried. They didnt have any. And the person who answered the phone said they didn't have many vegetarian items. What? Isn't this japanese food? I feel ripped off... More

We had to get up and find our server to put in an order because we hadn't seen him for almost half an hour. Then, he came back and asked us for our order again because the order was erased from the card we gave him. We had to wait awhile to get plates for our sushi, and never got... More

I've been here @ 10 times, mostly for a celebration, and had generally good food at the hibachi table. I agree the food can be salty, but I think if asked, the chef would adjust the sauce. Love their "yumyum" sauce, and the chicken is great too.
