"This is a nice restaurant and a fun experience. It’s always fun watching someone make the food in front of you at your table. The sushi was very tasty and also a larger portion size than expected. It is pricey, but it is good food and fun."

"Went to celebrate a birthday. About 15 of us. Couldn't be seated until everyone arrived very crowded once we did get in. We had soup, which was good, white rice was also served. Service was ok except for the older server who may have been joking, scolded one of my grandkids who was speaking to me, to move back to his seat. One the food was brought to be cooked, it was quite impressive. The food was good, extra vegetables. Had also ordered egg rolls, not my favorite, but they were good. Restaurant is smaller than the one on Oracle....."

"My daughter and her fiance took me for my birthday dinner...I loved the experience! The food was excellent, as well as the leftovers that sustained me for the next couple of days. The gentleman who grilled our dinner was thoroughly entertaining. I am just waiting for the chance to go back."

"The chef we got was amazing, his name is rodrigo always as for him he will treat you amazing, now I cant say the same about the waiter, they dont do anything besides sit you and pick up the plates after you leave, I tipped the chef as we should all do, but once the bill came we took care of it and then the lady was forcing to pay her tip when her service was little to none, I like coming here but as this was my first experience with her, I dont want to come back again they lost a coustomer and should feel embarrassed, I left a photo of reference and she's forcing the gentleman to tip her"

"Went in for lunch, and the food is fabulous! Quality of the meat and seafood is absolutely superb. The chef was entertaining and engaging. Menu was simple and concise. Apart from that, this place needs a deep clean. All the important areas are clean, just needs attention to the smaller details. Decor is WOEFULLY outdated and aging. Renovation a must."
