Hibachi was entertaining but kinda loud and the food wasn't very good. If we come back again, we will try the dining room instead of hibachi.

I absolutely LOVE Kon. They have a huge selection of foods. I go often and can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. Their food (including sushi and sashimi) is excellent! They also make an excellent espresso martini! The staff is super friendly. I have certain places where I prefer to sit and they are always accommodating. The only issue I have is that I always want more food than I can eat. That's how good it is. My latest obsession is the Thai spicy chicken wings...I love them! If you sit near the hibachi room it can be a little noisy on a busy night but it's not bad. It's just people having a good time. If you want to sit further away just let them know but you must experience the hibachi at least once.

It was a good experience. Our server was great, the food was great. The downside was that our table was along the direct path to and from the hibachi room. So I felt like there was a constant parade of people, many of whom simply stared at us as they walked by. Of course this isn’t anything Kon could change without installing a separate entrance to the hibachi room.

Food was meh. Server was terribly rude. Clearly wanted to rush us to turn over the table. We won’t be back. So many other options out there

The place is just solid all around. Just moved away from the area and will have a tough time filling this void.
