First time here. This ended up being our plan B for the evening and we only found it doing a search for Hibachi restaurants in Carson. We got in for an early dinner so there was no waiting. The staff was friendly, efficient, attentive, and professional. We tried a few different apps and each of us got a different meal....everything we got tasted fabulous! There wasn't anything we didn't enjoy! We will definitely come back again another time!!

I definitely enjoyed my meal here. My family was seated to left where there was a single grill, so we weren’t bothered by anyone else. There are seven grills and it’s a cozy little place. I was here on a Sunday at 6:30pm and it was packed. I had three different servers attend to my table which was impressive. Our soft drinks were never empty. The food was delicious. Just as good as any other hibachi chain. The drink menu is limited to a few beers and wine. No cocktails here. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the place. Servers constantly picking up finished dishes and sweeping the floors. The men’s bathroom I thought was really clean. It stood out to me. I also enjoyed seeing our steaks cooked separately and served to us directly. Even though they were all cooked to the same temperatures. I feel another places might take an order of 2 steaks or more at the same temperature and cook them all together mixing them up. Then dividing them once they are done. I feel I might not get the whole steak I ordered if it was done that way. So thank you for not doing that. I will come back soon because of that. Get a reservation. It helps out a lot

I gave this place 3 stars because the food was under seasoned. It might have been my fault as I didn't speak up and maybe coups have asked for more but over all I had a good experience.

Great place, excellent food and awesome chefs and servers. We celebrated my mom's 89th birthday here and we are so happy we chose to do it here!

Food was amazing. The cook super friendly and down to earth. Waiters on the other hand. Super annoying didn’t let enjoy meals keep bothering to remove plates when still working on it. So annoying that they tap on my shoulder while I was enjoying my meal, just to ask if I was done. Like hello I like to pause while I eat. And when paying I tip my chef And the waiter requested a tip. Mind you I’m big on tips. But there is no need to force to add tip when your service waiter service was horrible. FYI I still tip my waiter. If you don’t mind the Constant Disturbance this is the place. (They didn’t ask if I wanted refills, or anything else on the menu)

Visited for a bday and had a lovely time. We ordered the scallops and the lobster/steak meal. Both delicious! Cooks and service staff were helpful and friendly. It was a late night and I left my purse. Came the next day and they kept it safe and sound. They even made me identify myself as the right person picking it up and had me make sure everything was there. Quality service!
