    We come here often. The service was super slow this time and the old man who is so fun and funny wasnt there this time. We got our food all at once so we couldnt finish our soup and salad. The ordering of the food took the longest because no one came to ask if we were ready. Also… they never checked on us if we needed another refill or anything. Kinda disappointed because I talk this place up. Probably the worst experience so far. The food was great though.

    We had sashimi, shrimp tempura, & chicken katsu which were all good. The Bar Style sizzling steak was terrible. Had better at Denny’s before lol. No seasoning or flavor and super tough. We ordered it med rare came out well done. Service was robotic. Definitely missed Sato-San on his day off :(

    My Ohana and I had dinner to celebrate a birthday and it was great! Reservation was easy to do and when I needed to change the time, they had no issue doing so. Service was great, everyone worked together to serve the people. Food was delicious and to me the price was greatly reasonable. Food came out at a timely matter and the manager who I did not get his name, was really great! He came out to check on everyone, bussing tables, refreshing water/beverages and making us smile and laugh. He showed us his cool trick with flipping out drink without spilling it! That was cool. Mahalo nui!

    Great food and didn’t expect this kind good food around the area. Ribeye bar style was good but need to put little soy sauce to make it more tender.

    The food was very good and I would actually rate it a "5" however, the chardonnay wine and the old fashion liquor was not very good. Therefore, the "4" represents a combination of the food and beverages.
