   The cocktails tasted like dish soap and the fried rice was way too peppery, but at least they tasted like something. The food was straight-up bad: flavorless and dry. The chicken was so dry and unseasoned, and there wasnt even any sauces to drown it in. We were very clear that one of our diners was vegetarian, yet the chef still put shrimp on her plate. The server ended up comping her meal, but it was the cherry on top of the overall terrible experience. I put on our reservation that we were celebrating but was never asked what we were celebrating or if it was brought up at all.

   Honestly we got there at 8:24, the we got seated at 8:52, the chef did not come to the table until 10:52, we did not leave until 11:40…. If you do the math that was 3.5 hours at a restaurant…. Def felt like I worked a part time shift…. Not going back cause that was actually a very crazy experience.

   We went for my Mom’s birthday and although it was very busy our waiter maintained. Chef Friday made sure people with food allergies were taken care of first, and the food was great. I truly appreciate the professionalism of everyone involved in making my Mother’s Day special.

   This place is low rent. Waited two hours to be sat despite the open table app stating that we were “dining now” when we still waiting~ this was with an 8:30 reservation. The clientele was seedy, low quality and dressed for the club. Heard several crew members drop the f-bomb. Watched a server dip a glass directly into the ice at the bar. Should have known this place was trash when they had an armed security guard at the front door. I expected a shooting or fight to break out at any minute. Our server bribed our table with free apps or sushi rolls to leave a 5 star review. Definitely better places to get hibachi in Atlanta. Skip this place for sure.

   Or server . Not sure of her name. She wears white clear glasses. Hair was in a bun. She was wonderful ❤️ Our chef Malichi was superb. Wow!!! Food has never tasted this good. Great new managers as well. Very attention to detail. The manger with the beard got this restaurant back on track again.

   Me & my wife’s first time going to this restaurant. The food was excellent, our waitress Bri was great & our chef Sabi was even better. However management was terrible. We were under the impression that we could use a birthday coupon for my wife’s birthday today. I drove a hour away, before I called I called TWICE. The young lady who answered the phone expressed that YES we could use a birthday coupon for $30 off for my wife’s birthday. In all that wasn’t the case. So because I asked management what could be accommodated because the money wasn’t an issue. It was the principal, the young lady who answered the phone delivered the wrong information. Our meal was well over a $100 & management only gave $10 off. I tipped our chef & waitress because they had nothing to do with it. However I’m in management & if our word is our word we have to follow by it. This lady made a mistake, mistakes happen but I expect management to follow up by this young lady mistake by telling us we could use the $30 off coupon today. Also management said it could be use 2 days later & our waitress said it couldn’t be used until next year, so I didn’t know who to believe. In all wonderful service by Bri & Chef Sabi but this will be our first & last time going because as a MANAGER myself I believe in being integral even if it causes to take accountability for our staff mistakes.
