The food is tasty and fresh. I always look at sanitation ratings and they had a higher score. Can't remember if it was a 97 or 99. Either way, that's good for me. I believe you will enjoy the food here. I just had the hibachi veggies and rice. My friend had the chicken, veggies, and rice. We both enjoyed our food plus there was enough for a second meal.

Wow! Only how much? We can't get enough of the hibachi chicken! Seaweed salad, white sauce, fried rice. They will feed you here restaurant is tasty! I had the SEAWEED salad. Yum Yum. Try some! Hibachi chicken was cooked thoroughly and had a crispy exterior sealing in the umami flavor. Vegetables can be healthy for you too! They will feed you their vegetables.

Service can be a little slower during rush times so I don't suggest going here on like your break from work, but the food is absolutely worth the wait otherwise.

My wife and I stopped in a month ago. We went back tonight. Valentine's Day. I love their food. The Soba noodles are so good. And they were so busy they couldn't look up. Becoming my favorite for Friday nights.

This is one of me and my wife’s favorite japanese places in Garner. The food is outstanding and the white sauce is to die for! This is a perfect place to go when you’re shopping at white oak. I recommend calling 10 minutes before and your food will be right and ready for you.

This is my hibachi spot, I go nearly every Sunday. The food is amazing and the owners are super sweet. Just wanted to take the time to give them a good review cause it's the best in the area. The portions are fine, all these reviews with portion complaints are crazy. I'm the only one to ever clear my plate out of my family of five and I'm a 265lb man. The wife and kids get 2 meals out of it every time. Food is great, portions are great.
