Wow, wow, wow. I have been to a few Japanese Steakhouses, but this was by far one of the best in Metro Detroit. Not packed, very clean and amazingly friendly service. The chef made a great show, and cooked our steak and seafood and chicken to perfection. And at the end we had so much leftovers, enough for another day. They deliver, a hidden gem in plain sight. Thank you.

Good food and fun experience . The chef was excellent. Very entertaining and the kid loved it. Hibachi was good. We could’ve skipped the sushis… not worth getting at all.

This place was very quiet and calm, the food was pretty good. The staff was very kind and would explain/answer any questions we had, thanks for that The drinks weren't as good and they were expensive, I wouldn't recommend them. But once again good was pretty good

Gabby our waitress was such a sweetheart and provided perfect service from beginning to end. She provided great ideas and really helped our two young kids be as comfortable as possible. Chow was our chef and he was great as well and entertaining. Food was very good all around. Kids got chicken and fried rice and my wife and I split filet and shrimp. We also got two sushi rolls. Everything was great and would definitely go back!
