Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Excellent choice - interactive grilling creates natural conversation, mood lighting perfect for romance, and the unique experience makes you memorable. Book ahead for weekend evenings.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Risky on weekends - they're often booked solid Friday/Saturday nights. Weekday lunch walk-ins usually fine. Use Yelp Waitlist to join queue remotely while driving over.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for older kids (10+) who can safely sit near hot grills. The tableside cooking entertains teens. Not ideal for young children due to safety concerns and upscale vibe.
Best For
Better for: Interactive dining experiences and celebrations - the tableside grilling and A5 Wagyu are unmatched locally. Best AYCE value during weekday lunch. Most Instagram-worthy presentations and modern atmosphere.
Skip if: You want traditional sushi-only experience or quiet dining - the grilling concept dominates. For pure sushi focus try Wayne's. Also skip if budget-conscious - bills add up quickly with premium meats.
