Came in during lunch hour, ordered, got my to go food in less than 10 minutes. Hibachi shrimp is my go to, the teriyaki isnt as good I'd say. Taste good and prices are reasonable.

This is one of the best places to go to eat. We come here at least 3 times a month and we always get amazing food and service. Keep doing what you are doing.
