      This little hole in the wall is a gem! The staff treat you like family, making it feel like you're eating at a friend's house.
      The teppanyaki cook was highly skilled in his food preparation and also fairly quick.
      The wait times are next to nothing because it's not usually crowded.
      If you're looking for teppanyaki with a shorter wait time, this place is perfect. It may not be as fancy, but it's a cozy place to enjoy a nice meal.

      The food is great.

      I'd give it 5 stars if the owners would scrub the place down. It's not the cleanest looking place. The floors are sticky. Grime has built up.
      A good cleaning and this place would be the top restaurant in the area. The food is amazing.

      This is a family owned business that deserves recognition! They are so attentive the whole time you are there, and are caring and passionate about their services! They were so friendly to me and my children for lunch today, and made sure we were taken care of. The owner is such a nice lady, she even helped me pack away the kids food to take home.
      The food is flavorful and delicious. And a plus is you get both miso soup and a delicious salad before your amazing show! The kids were so entertained and loves the noodles!
      The new tile flooring is great and all of their chairs are comfy!

      Service is very quick, staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is absolutely divine, and the ambiance is soothing. Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends and family.

      Best place for The money and atmosphere? We will return. The chef was grand. Our server down to earth and comical. The shrimp were huge and wonderfully delicious. Other places would be 39% more $. Yes, we'll be back. Phi, our driver and food connoisseur, was in 7th Heaven. I was able to enjoy the Sac-hi.
      The ease to get to Banzai was another plus. Thank you, employees of Bonzai.

      I thought I already left a review, but I guess I didn't. I was super sick from their food.I had never eaten there before. I'm used to eating at a different place and always having great things to say about them. They add sauces into their food, so you can't actually do it yourself like other places I've been to. We all had extra food because it was horrible. I wasn't the only one to get sick off the food. Also, the woman who claimed to be the owner or maybe the owners wife was very very rude to us. She was so rude and I paid a bill that I shouldn't have. I am respectful and have respect for everyone in a restaurant, but this was the worst customer service I've ever had besides getting sick. She was yelling about me in front of all the customers and staff members. The person that was working at the table was super nice and I appreciated her and basically the lady was saying that I was stealing when I was actually gonna put everything in the trash because it was making me sick. I said I didn't want to go containers, for fromfor my food, the server at the table said you should get some to go boxes for your food and she put it in the boxes and then the lady accused me of stealing! Very disrespectful company I will never go back and neither will any anybody I went with!

      Was there about two months ago but didn't write my review for personal reasons. Anyway I will tell you today that this place was very good at one time years ago. It was a hot day and we went there because my husband wanted to eat sushi and teppan cooked steak. Well it was hot inside with large industrial size fans blowing and noisy. Then we find out after waiting for the rest of table to be filled before chef started that there's NO sushi that day. Our food was good but not the atmosphere we wanted for the price of dinner. Service was slow and we couldn't understand the waitresses. Will not be going back, other restaurants are much more comfortable with excellent food and sushi.
