    This place is good if you want options. Half the bar is hot foods that many know and love in Asian foods. I suggest the simple dishes for the most flavor. The other half is cold for the sushi, which is varied and excellently prepared. In the middle is a hibachi flat top that allows for very fresh stir fry to be made. The stand alone bar on the floor gives you the final piece of the equation: fruits and veggies alongside dessert. Cant go wrong with this setup. Theres something for a whole host of people. Just come with an appetite and remember to pace yourself with small portions.

    Weird bitter-sour food. Bleh.. The food here is not very flavorful and it all has a weird bitter-sour undertone. Even the fresh made hibachi grill fare has the same bland, slightly rancid taste just strong enough to ruin the plate. The flounder I ordered was cooked well but again, was bland except for an odd ‘off’ taste. My husband’s steak was overcooked and chewy.The sushi was also bland and poorly prepared. Some of it disintegrated while being placed on the plate. The ‘spicy’ sushi was as bland as the un-spicy and all of the rolls tasted the same regardless of the composition. The selections at lunch were very limited and the Sesame Chicken was a strangely colored soupy mess. The fried scallops were store bought, thawed, generic seafood, but were also one of the best things on the buffet as they did not have the strange stale seasoning on them and they were not overcooked, The same cannot be said for the Teriyaki Chicken which had no teriyaki flavor at all and was dry and overdone.Considering the price I expected better quality food. Go to Wasabi instead, Better food, better prices, better ambience.
