    Our server, Chad, was fantastic and made our experience so much fun! His Chef, Mr. Nice Guy, was also a lot of fun and the food was fantastic! Very fresh and beautifully prepared on the Hibachi Grill! The service Chad provided was very fast and efficient. There was never a second when anyone was lacking for drinks or food. And he ensured those who had special food requests were accommodated! Great experience ❣️

    Expensive so I recommend you go on your birthday to at least get the $25 credit on your bill. Food is plentiful so you may want to consider sharing to cut costs. Our bill for a party of 4 was $200 with no alcohol. We did order two sushi roles. Service is great, but food is not as tasty as it once was.

    Celebrating the end of their $18 special menu at this location. A great treat. Hopefully it will be back again.

    We live coming to Kobe for the experience. This time the service was a bit lacking. It took too long to get drinks and then even longer to get refills. Will still go back because this may have just been a one off.
