Some of the best Teriyaki chicken and fried rice I've ever had. Their yum yum sauce is vastly different from any where else. It has a slight garlic taste to it and it's the best. Please support this business because they deserve it!

I’ve had this place on my list for about a month now and finally went and dipped in for a quick sit and eat. I ordered the Hibachi Steak and Shrimp entree with a side order of dumplings. This was my first time having food from a Japanese styled diner but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good! The steak and shrimp was awesome and glad the rice was just how I liked it! The dumplings were really good as well. The chef did an excellent job! I also bought a bubble tea for the first time and it was great! The cashier Keisha (I hope that’s spelled correctly), did an amazing job. I definitely recommend this place for a nice, quick eat mid afternoon

Good food, good prices, I come here often as a broke college student. I have bad ears, so sometimes I have trouble understanding one of the cashiers, but she always restates what she said if I ask. My favorite is the shrimp hibachi bowl. The shrimp is always crisp and well seasoned. Forgot to take a photo, but the portion size is fair.
