Three former colleagues meeting for lunch and to catch up. I ordered Salmon tartar, very fresh and tasty. Another lady ordered hibachi salmon and she loved it. The third lady ordered a dish from the lunch menu and she enjoyed it.

Our chef was excellent. Quick and seasoned everything perfectly!!! The rice was not over salted at all. Truly perfect food. Great crunch and shaggy dog rolls. Restrooms need updating and deep cleaning. There is an unpleasant sulfurous sewage like odor in the restrooms, entryway and main corridor near the host stand. There is obviously a plumbing issue going unresolved and this is gross. Hosts were warm and welcoming. Server was very nice but never refilled drinks (water and sodas) until we were out and literally some with dinner. I had to drink my husbands water otherwise I’d have been parched.

I have been bringing my grandchildren here for over 10 years for their birthdays. The quality has gone down significantly. The front door staff was not very welcoming and when we sat down the table area had a strange dirty smell. It seemed to take a while for everything to arrive and our appetizers came after we were served soup and salad. The sushi however was outstanding. We progressed through dinner nicely but then waited for our grandsons birthday song/drums/dessert since I had said twice on the reservation it was his birthday but it never arrived. The other table mates left and when we reminded the waitress it was my GS BD she said "happy birthday". Then we were given a menu to order dessert which we did. At that point the manager came over and told us they needed to seat people at our table and when we explained the situation we were instructed to wait by the bar. We cancelled the dessert (which she kindly told us she took off our bill for us🙄) and we were eventually given our check. We will not return to this place again and if our grands request hibachi for their Birthdays again we will go to Shogun.
