    Best traditional style Hibachi you’re gonna find in South Carolina! Noah is/was the BEST (not sure if he’s still there as I’ve since moved out of state!) also Ms. Yung is a sweetheart of an owner! Always came by and checked on us during lunchtime. Night times can be busy, so best practice is to call ahead about an hour in advance! Great food, great service, great all around :) 👍🏼

    Definitely our second pick for Japanese steakhouse restaurant. If we lived on that side of town, it would be our first. Delicious food. Sauces are great. We had steak and shrimp. Came with soup, salad, zucchini, and fried rice. If I had to make some suggestions, the rice is a little flavorless and I wish it had egg in it. But nothing that some white sauce couldn’t fix. I would also ask that they make the ginger salad dressing more gingery and less sweet. But otherwise it was very very good! Waiter and chef both good too! So glad we gave this place a chance.

    Awesome! Never been there for lunch and went the other day. Kind of a bummer that they dont to the fire show for lunch but the food is delicious as always and there's a ton of it! The staff was amazing and our chef was funny and made me and my family more comfortable, it was like eating at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves good food, good company and good atmosphere. :)
