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.

Such a fun experience! We had never been to a Japanese barbecue before and got the wagyu sampler. It was delicious and fun. Imagine paying extra to cook your own food 😝 !! But it was a something different and exciting. The staff were super helpful as well!
