Good to Know

Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but seating is minimal—plan on takeout or a short, casual eat-in stop.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—simple flavors, big portions, and fast service make it easy for kids, especially elementary age and up.
Best For
Better for: Fast, filling hibachi-style combos when you want predictable comfort and generous portions without waiting.
