  This used to be the go-to for the whole Japanese hibachi experience. The food used to be amazing, too. There is no experience anymore; the food was okay, they are using fewer ingredients in the vegetables, and the fried rice was almost bland. It makes me really sad.

  Visited on a Saturday night for our kids tenth birthday and we had such a great time, all the staff was friendly, our chef was funny and very skilled with his hibachi talents, the Philadelphia roll was fresh and made right as you ordered, they sang a nice birthday song and gave pineapple instead of cake or a sweet treat, and a very lovely photo for us to bring home, the food was fantastic, fried rice cooked perfectly, along with our chicken, the lime margarita was very sour but did not impact the meal. Plenty of seating and we did not wait at all, this is the gold standard for hibachi in Columbus.

  Amazing service hibachi was really great. Soup was good as expected not huge fan of the sauce on the salad this time around though. Filet and lobster were cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend for a date night if you’ve got a little money to burn.

  I took my family here this past weekend for my son's birthday. I've been here numerous times over the past few years, but it has significantly gone downhill since then. The restaurant looks like it's in disrepair. The carpet has been removed in the back, leaving just dirty concrete. The food has also gone downhill. The filet was tough, and the ventilation is non-existent, so you practically need a gas mask to avoid respiratory issues. Make sure you plan on showering and washing your clothes after dinner, because otherwise you'll smell like a hibachi grill for the next few days. They've lowered the bar with the cooks they've hired now, who seem to just be going through the motions and could not care less about quality or presentation. Overall, this has become a shadow of its former self and was a huge disappointment. You can do much better for the cost. Save your money and your clothes.

  As always, a 5/5 Star experience. I've ate here a countless amount of times and can guarantee, this hibachi is the absolute best in the state. The atmosphere is extremely enjoyable, the drinks are poured as paid for, and the food is next level. This is my go to spot for anything hibachi related. I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting or who have lived here and only experienced other hibachi places around Cbus/Ohio. Every referral always gets incredible praise. Our most recent visit was hands down the most incredible visit we've had in the last 6 years due to our chef. His entertainment, as well as culinary, skills were over the top!
