  Great restaurant with multiple dining options. There's hibachi, a bar, and then a separate dining room for a more quiet experience away from the noise of the hibachi grills. The lunch special was a great deal (2 rolls for $9) and I also ordered an appetizer. Lunch came with choice of salad or miso soup so that's also a plus! Service was quick and attentive and always friendly! I find this place to have the highest quality sushi in Concord, and also at an amazing price. What's not to love?

  This was our third and last visit to have hibachi.  This was absolutely awful and here's why. Our party of 13 had reservations and was seated on time.  We noted that two of the 13 were not here so the server decided to ignore us rather than offer drinks. We were seated around the grill and packed in so tightly that those at the corners nearly sat sideways.  Even then we went across the back so far three of us were seated at the grill of another party.  It was pretty apparent we should have been offered more space.
  
  Eventually, after our last two guests arrived  (maybe 10 minutes late) and after asking the server to bring drinks twice, we were offered drinks and appetizers.  In the mean time another group was seated after us.  They ate and were gone before we had appetizers.
  
  Overall the food was well prepared and was good.  The service stunk.
  
  We were asked for orders approximately 45 minutes into the visit.  My wife and I decided to order Bento boxes rather than hibachi.  The server said it wasn't a good idea because the kitchen staff was way behind and our order would be much later than the hibachi orders.  Sounds like a serious staffing problem here.  We ordered hibachi and a sushi roll.
  
  The chef was pleasant enough and prepared the meals correctly.  When we were nearly finished (the chef had cleaned up and gone), our server slipped the sushi roll on the table and said, "Sorry".  We sent it back due to the horrible timing.
  
  This place need some managers!  They need more kitchen help.  The crowning blow was no air conditioning.  It was a hot and humid evening yet it was cooler outside than in the dining room.   Don't leave the light on for us, we won't be back.

  We didn't go in for the hibachi this time. Sat in the regular dinning area. Were waited on very fast. Food arrived but it was a bit cold. . Ordered hibachi steak and shrimp . And extra noodles. Food still tasted good . Ordered a few drinks that were very very strong . But decently good

  I love love their rock shrimp tempura and the moneybags (both appetizers). The hibachi is also pretty tasty. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.
  My husband and I go there at least twice a month.

  Stopped in for dinner last Sat before heading back down to MA. I couldn't decide what I wanted and was in the mood for more than hibachi or sushi so I ordered the Pad Thai, the menu offered no description so I assumed it was traditional.... it was not even close to Pad Thai, it was full of peppers and was in a reddish almost curry sauce. If your dish isn't the normal way people expect it to come out... you need to clarify that in your menu. The shrimp were also tough they were so over cooked. My husband ordered the surf and turf that was supposed to be a lobster tail and filet mignon but what he got was a cheap piece of skirt steak (at a filet mignon price) and an over cooked lobster tail.
  
  Honestly one of the worst meals I've had lately, I wish we had stopped somewhere else.
