  A great Japanese restuarant offering halal hibachi and sushi rolls. Small but cosy ambiance. Personally love their dinner hibachi (Steak & chicken , steak & beef both). They serve hibachi with a soup and some salad which is great stuff. The spicy tuna rolls and the Californian rolls are worth the treat. I personally feel the hibachi serving should be slightly more but I don’t mind the current serving as well. What I did not like was yakisoba, it had very less veges. Service overall is great. Must try if you’re looking for halal Japanese good food. However, it’s a bit pricy comparatively.

  I was greeted by a friendly Mgr. whose name is Joe. I asked if they could accommodate a custom order for a special roll for mu daughter. The Chef whose name I think is Anas quickly became engaged in my request and left briefly to a store to acquire a needed ingredient, jalapeños. Chef meticulously prepared my custom roll request to my exact instructions. We also ordered assorted Nigiri, Mason soup, and the California roll. Everything was excellent in flavor and cleanly presented. The quality and mouthfeel of the sushi, the flavor of the broth, the texture of the California roll, and the fact that they nailed the custom order was incredible. My daughter is extremely picky as am I and this place which is tucked away in a strip mall is the best I've tasted in Fremont but also in the greater Bay area. I highly recommend anyone try this place for its superior service, fresh and flavorful Sushi, and cleanliness. Very happy customers!

  Not a hibachi restaurant really. They make food on the hibachi but it's no alternative to Benihana. Found out the hard way. Pretty small dive but the spicy tuna and sauce with it was delicious. No alcohol either, be warned.
