    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.

    There are 2 locations in the Waikiki area both are within walking distance of most hotels. We chose the East location because we had eaten at the central location on out last visit. The service from the time we entered until we left was outstanding. The dinners we ordered were the Rib Eye Steak & the Grilled Shrimp & 1 order of fried rice.. Included was salad, an appatizer, entree, steamed rice, miso soup & desert. Miso soup is served the traditional way which is after the entree. They forgot to serve the soup. Additionally we ordered 2 beers and 1 large carafe (about 16 ounces) of hot sake. The sake, which was not very good, was $30 which is to expensive for the type and amount served. The total bill was $150 plus a $30 tip for 2 guests. Even by Honolulu standards that is expensive. Would I eat there again YES.

    Amazing food with great presentation. The cook was engaging and funny as they prepare your food in front of the group. I recommend this restaurant to kids 4 and up as they could appreciate the cooking methods and theatrical.
