The sashimi quality is high. Miso soup is really good as well. The back seating is pretty cute with Japanese style dividers between booths. The only small negative is that you can very easily hear other patrons conversations or arguments if they not being mindful of others.

It was Thanksgiving and it was very busy. As usual the Japaneses hibachi bbq experience was lively and the chef was funny and entertaining. The dinner was really good and there was plenty to choose from for both meat eaters with steak, shrimp, chicken choices and vegetarians with a tofu choice and plenty of vegetables and rice. The company around the communal table was friendly and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal and ate everything and also had dessert. We upgraded our dessrt from the included ice cream to a delicious banana tempura. It was unusual and so good! A great alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner that we really enjoyed.
