Went and tried this place today for lunch with the family. Food was fresh and hot. Everything we got was so delicious. We tried the spring rolls, dumplings ,trio of teriyaki ,trio of hibachi and the chicken and noodles. The portion sizes are great for the price. I made sure to grab a menu. Found our take out spot.

Super excited to try, but seriously disappointed. I got hibachi steak it had no flavor very basic. My white rice was crunchy and the yum yum sauce was watered down. You do get a lot for the price but I probably won't be back. I wish them great success though. More

The food was very bland. There was no visible seasoning on the vegetables, meats or rice. I ordered the Teriyaki Steak and Chicken combo, the teriyaki sauce was very thin and watery. I added my own seasonings and sauces to make it taste … More

I ordered hibachi chicken and steak. The food tasted ok but a little dry. The meat doesn't have much flavor and the rice is white rice with not enough seasoning. The yum yum sauce is rather bland. I can say the portions are large and price … More

Ordered take out even though the reviews had me skeptical. Had 2 hibachi dishes and an order of the crab rangoons. All of it was less than $30. Food needed a little salt and pepper but I much rather have under seasoned than over. For this … More

The restaurant smells clean and fresh, no smell of food so it depends on what your into….
The cashier wasn’t sure of the menu, nor the type of cut for the steak they used…. Then we found it was sirloin and they weren’t sure if it was tender.
The fried riced isn’t real fried rice, it’s just steam rice they throw on the grill for a minute or two…. No soy sauce, no eggs, no butter, no vegetables….. just steamed rice with an intro to the grill!
The chicken was seasoned more-so for Japanese tacos than actually hibachi, but was the best part!
Don’t think I’ll be going back and definitely won’t be suggesting to others

Picked up lunch for the family and was pleasantly surprised, what nice restaurant so close to my house. When I got home to plate the food, I was surprised again, about how much food we got. OMG! We actually had leftovers! My chicken and shrimp were so good and everyone else was happy too! Great job!

First of all, the young lady taking orders, was not friendly. The phone rang as I was trying to place my order.She cut me off and answered the phone. I asked her if they could make my order gluten free. She said yes, no problem. They did not have gluten free soy sauce. I placed the order assuming that they would not cross contaminate. Boy was I wrong. I got really sick from the food. She assured me that there would be no problem. My husband ate my leftovers and he did not get sick. Gluten sensitivity is a real thing. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE.

Front of house Staff were very friendly and helpful with the questions and order.
Place is clean and menu boards are easily readable.
Hibachi steak and chicken Combo is an excellent amount of food. So are the single Hibachi.
Crab Rangoons were good and sweet. Spring rolls were good as well.
We appreciate the new options in the area for dinner.

Just don't. Trust me.
If I hadn't already ordered & paid online, I would have turned around and walked out when I got there.
"Japanese Cuisine", but mexican music blasting from the kitchen and all the staff speaking Spanish?
Quite literally the worst sushi ive ever had in my life. Crab rangoons were terrible. Lo Mein tasted like dish water.
Staff was friendly.
There is a Mexican restaurant next door, if you want something "authentic"

Amazing food! I got the Hibachi steak with rice & veggies & my tray was FULL. There’s a lot of deceiving comments but honestly this has been the best spot with such amazing prices! The staff is also amazing & super friendly. Overall 10/10 definitely worth the visit!

This has to be the worst Japanese food I’ve ever had. They need to study how sushi is actually made. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and got raw tuna in a roll with Sriracha just dripped on top—it tasted nothing like a real spicy tuna roll. And don’t even get me started on the noodles: they were so dry and had no flavor. You’re better off cooking noodles at home and eating them plain. The price makes sense, though.

I was excited about eating there. And food was definitely dry and unseasoned. Very bland. I even ordered a side of extra veggies and that made me even more disappointed 😭

We needed a place like this in Benson. The food was very good, with substantial portions, good prices, and excellent quality. I really don't understand the negative reviews, but I'll definitely be a regular customer! Give it a try; you won't be disappointed. I've read that people comment that the hibachi is a little dry for their taste, but if you're looking for juiciness, you should order the teriyaki. I absolutely love the food here.
