We have had the full-blown dinner experience at least twice. The food was delicious and plentiful! We love going for happy hour for sushi and a couple of drinks. The sushi chef is great and the wait staff at the bar provide great service! We'll be back!

My husband and I had purchased a groupon to try this restaurant out since we hadn't been before. We were in the medical center and had to kill a few hours between appointments and made a reservation for dinner. We LOVED it! Both of us have eaten at hibachi grills before but our chef Tommy really amped up the atmosphere. In addition to the hibachi "tricks" throughout the meal, he was a riot! He kept us laughing and entertained the whole time. In addition, he really took his time with our food and it was fabulous. My chicken was juicy and delicious and my husbands filet was as smooth as butter. We also had the trio appetizer, that was tasty!! Our waitress Celsa was very friendly and accommodating. Her service was prompt and she happily answered any questions we had. I was pleased to see the manager traveling around to various tables, making sure everyone had an excellent experience and meal, and really taking charge of customer satisfaction. Needless to say, we were pleased, and would without a doubt return and recommend this place to others.

I like this place, I've liked it even since it was Benihana but they ditched the franchise. Recently they stopped sending out birthday certificates though, and no one would give me an answer as to why. Expect to be in here for at least 1.5 hours though, especially on a busy night. I love this style of food though, definitely give it a try.

We had a great experience and Tommy put on a wonderful show. He was very enthusiastic and personable. The chicken fried rice was amazing and we will definitely be back. He brought a whole new and fresh take to the hibachi experience. There were no kids at our table, yet we were all entertained as if we were children! Tommy's Godzilla onion tower was my favorite!

Me and my  fiancé took his parents to dinner and had a great time . The staff was very friendly and the food was good. The show was great we all had a great time.

What a great experience! All the rolls were good! The portions are outta control big and the service was amazing!!! So helpful and fun!! Definitely would go back when we come back to town!

Love this place. Whenever my girlfriend flys in we always make it a point to go. I get the emperors dinner and it's always on point. One of the best steaks I've ever had. I also love to start out with the teriyaki sriracha wings. Very good drinks and teppanyaki chefs are full of conversation and make the experience that much better. Just waiting for the day they add a lobster roll to the menu.

Great food and great entertainment! They really catered to our family and the kids had a ball. Even my kid who doesn't like Asian food enjoyed the taste of the meal and the cool way our host introduced it to him...with humor.

Great sushi! Ordered the Volcano Roll & The Rising Sun. Both were the bomb! Service was good. Hibachi chef was decent, I've had better. We were not really there for the Hibachi experience but enjoyed our visit. Overall we would definitely visit again for the food.

I bought a Groupon to go try this place, and I'm glad I did! And also glad I made a reservation. Great service from the time you walk in to the time you leave. The chef was awesome. The food was great. Never ran out of soda the waitress was on top of it. We will definitely be back.

Food was delicious and the chef put on quite a show that left the 6 and 8 year old grandkids amazed .

—Amazing food, atmosphere, and chef! I will definitely be going back. Great waitresses as well. The chef was a great showman and the food was great. I advise buying one plate and splitting it, there's a lot!

This was by far the best hibachi restaurant I've ever been to! Food was awesome and the service was outstanding. Our chef was very entertaining. We were a 2 person party at a table with 2 other couples, and he made it much less awkward eating dinner with strangers. We are from out of town, but this will be a must-stop place when we visit San Antonio in the future!

Very inexpensive!! I got a small fillet luch special for $16 and the server hooked everyone up with a couple shrimp and some chicken in addition to their orders. Service was great and food was good

Yum, yum! Fun times, good food, and yummy drinks! I love to come here with family !

It was a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive .

Visited this location for dinner (with kids) on a Thursday. I definitely recommend making reservations rather than just walking in like we did or else you may have to wait through a whole chef show to be seated while you wait for a chef. We waited in the lobby about 10 mins then waited about another 15 at our table for the chef. We had Peruvian chef Cynthia and she was so awesome! The food she made was FANTASTIC and the kids loved her. She was very sociable and a VERY good cook. It is a bit expensive - kids meals are $12 and adult entrees start at $25, BUT you get a ton of food - a big plus for me since the kids usually eat off my plate too and I'm lucky to get more than 2 bites of steak! Well worth it for a special occasion. Highly recommend the chef's special for two. Next time I might leave the kids behind, but we'll definitely be back, and with a reservation!

Great food and entertainment .
