    I went here for my birthday dinner and I had an amazing time! The food was fantastic and so was the staff. My biggest complaint is that they don't allow reservations. I spoke with the staff about why they don't do reservations and honestly the reason is not sufficient. No one can be seated until your entire party arrives, which means there are large groups of people just waiting in the lobby. This was my third time coming to the restaurant and only my first time eating because of this issue. Over an hour wait just standing in the lobby. The actual restaurant experience was great but getting in there to eat is nearly impossible😫

    I have eaten their hibachi many times and it is delicious. I just recently started getting their sushi and it is also very good. Sake had great flavor too.

    Food was terrific ;we had t bone steak and salmon . Was so much that we couldn't eat it all takeout boxes were presented before we asked. A little noisy is the only problem. Maybe the music could be a little lower. 12-18-22 is our second time. We had the Hibachi steak and chicken. Very good . So much food we had to take some home.

    The food was amazing as usual, the reason behind 3 stars is the wait time. We sat down after being greeted by the front desk, waited for 15mins to get a server who had been waiting every table on the floor. They're unbearably understaffed, and you could see it by how the other patreon's ordered minor meals and drinks. We spoke with the other table next to us, whom informed me and my mother they had waited 30mins to get a bowl of soup from the time they received the menu. Please staff your establishment, as you have a great atmosphere, but it's unfortunate to see the lack of servers to appease a crowd.

    Had a horrible experience the waiter was rude and short tempered… this establishment does not uphold there policy , I wanted to place an order at 9:15 pm and they typically close at 10:00 pm . I was told that orders had to be placed by 9:30pm. Which I attempted to do, the waiter abruptly cut me off and said we are done for tonight. Being as though I am a regular costumer I am aware of there policies so I asked the front desk personnel and he said it wouldn’t be a problem , but he had to get my waiter…. He conversed with her and then came back to tell me that there was too many orders placed before me . Well I reminded him of their policy and he said , “ it’s normally like that , but it’s too many orders , so things change “, I said it’s disappointing and left it at that. Low and behold , the sushi staff was cleaning their station and not making any other orders at 9:40pm . What a joke , I won’t be returning

    Went to dinner tonight with family. I have a shrimp allergy, so my food is cooked in the kitchen separately. After all the food was cooked, served and ate. I still didnt receive my food. Made it known several times that I did not get my food. The server gave out table boxes, and the manager came to me and said, "Do you still want your food. After 1hour later! I said no! Then, they still charged me for it. The service here is no longer good anymore!

    The Sushi was great. The Gyoza are some of the best around town. The Hibachi was fantastic as the food appeared very fresh. The drinks were refreshing.

    Came here for my mom's birthday. It seemed like we got the short end of the stick for who our Hibachi Chef was. He wasn't very friendly or talkative with the table, plus with all the other tables around us when it came to singing happy birthday it was up beat and sounded great. Our guy just did it real quick and didn't seem to care at all. And that was after waiting for a hour for a table. The food was good and everyone but our hibachi chef was great. But he really ruined our experience.

    Glen is the f man!!! Thanks Glen for your professional and great service. It was my first time here and I will be back!!

  • 5/5 Mike F. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The chef prepares the food right in front of you and puts on a show while he does it. The waitress was top notch too. Whenever a drink was low or something was needed, she automatically brought it without interrupting us while we were eating. This is a place that I definitely recommend visiting. Treat yourself to a great time and meal.

    Our chef was fantastic !! He was so funny and entertaining I don't want to go out to eat anywhere else!! It was spectacular and the food omg!! Delicious and so much food! My nest fining experience ever in my 72 years! And my meal was free with a paying customer! It was a birthday invitation and I'm so glad I got to go here!

    Went with a group of 8 for dinner(you will not be seated unless the whole party is there). We went because the reviews battles with Kobe. It’s cheaper and at the time closer to where we were. The sushi rolls were soo good I recommend the Birds nest and Baltimore roll they were nice to share with the group. I do prefer this places steak over the others it was still tender the next day. I don’t like that they used spaghetti noodles. The portions are smaller compared to Kobe but I do love that they don’t cramp everyone into one room. There’s room to move around and view the restaurant and enjoy the time. I might come back just to try some more if I’m ever in the area

    When we first got there, it was a little rough. They were very short staffed but once our cook approached our table, he came through and made it enjoyable. The fried rice with the eggs in it was really good. I think that's what I ate the most of. Thank you "John" even though that's not really your name😊😊😊. You really get your monies worth.

    It was my Birthday Dinner with my Family. My first hibachi and I loved it. Will be returning.

    We go every year to celebrate my nephew birthday. He loves the sushi and I love the grill chicken and steak. Excellent soup and salad and drinks❤️

    Kabuto is always a hit. This time we went to celebrate my 5 year anniversary since I quit smoking. We were told it would be about an hour wait. It took about 20 minutes. The food was as always the best quality and the entertainment was fantastic. The chefs do an excellent job of getting the entire table laughing and having fun together. It's great seeing strangers all having fun like that. In a world so constantly torn by fighting, Kabuto helps give a little bit of peace and happiness. Will always choose Kabuto again and again.

    Delicious sushi. We had hibachi too. Great entertainment. We went on a Friday night. Had a wait for the chef to arrive

    Met some guys here for lunch, so our cook had a large order. We had great service the whole time, the person taking the food and drink orders did great and was very responsive with refills. The cook was engaging and clearly very skilled, exactly what you would expect from a Japanese Steakhouse. I got the steak and shrimp combo with fried rice. Both meats were cooked perfectly. The "yumyum" sauce or whatever it is actually called paired well with them. They even had some side vegetables that were also grilled to perfection I wholly recommend checking it out if you haven't!
