Description

Chefs perform directly at the hibachi grills, where the cooking show pairs with a popular yum yum sauce. If you prefer a calmer meal, you can claim one of the quieter tables in the back. The kitchen's output gets mixed marks: while the large special sushi rolls and savory mushroom dumplings earn praise, the soup dumplings have disappointed some diners. Keep an eye on the details, too—the menu font is notably tiny, so it pays to read carefully or ask questions before ordering.
