    The sharing sur charge of $10 is rediculous for a 6 year old. They don’t eat much and the kids menu is $22 for a 6 year old. All the food is prepared for the entire seating group together, so why can’t you give a few pieces of steak to a young child.

    All of the cooks and host’s are all so awesome and polite! The whole environment is truly remarkable! However the food wasn’t up to par with how good the staff was. The staff was truly outstanding.

    Food was excellent, and the chef was entertaining. The only drawback was it was pricey but given dowtown location it was not surprising.

    I took guests who haven’t experienced teppanyaki before and they feel it was the highlight of their trip. They aged from 15 to 55 and all just were mesmerized by chef Scott. The steaks were delicious and others raved about the teriyaki chicken, lobster, shrimp and scallops. Scott even omitted veggies from the fried rice for one person. What service. Drinks were delicious and the whole staff sang happy birthday. The perfect celebration dinner.

    Chef Joe and our server Jack were both wonderful! I’ve been to many hibachi restaurants all over the country and this was the BEST experience ever. The food was incredible and Joe had tricks I had never seen before. It was a night to remember and a highlight of our trip to Hawaii.
