Good sushi. Good drinks. Great hibachi. They won't let you down. We tried the orange chicken appetizer, which was delicious, along with a standard sushi roll. Then we split chicken and shrimp hibachi, and took about half of it home. We had a great experience. Fun chefs, good atmosphere.

This Hibachi place was on point. The salad and ginger dressing was soo flavorful, and they had one of the better house soups in the area. The chef was kind, funny, and had lots of skill as he entertained the table. Food was very delicious. Steak cooked to perfect temperature. The one thing I thought concerning was the chef put raw chicken on the grill with a spatula, and proceeded to use the same spatula to catapult broccoli into each person on the table including children and a pregnant woman . This was actually a quite concerning health hazard and a high health code violation. That being said, the food was one of the best in Panama City.

Let me tell you something about our evening! We called ahead and asked about reservations and none was needed for the time we chose ... after we got there was a party of 30 / 45 and another one I don’t remember size but they got us in as they said right in time ! Fax was our server not once did our drinks go empty and was very pleasant / joking throughout. Mind you we go to a lot of hibachi restaurants, back home in Missouri. We can follow up with the food portion but before we can get to food we have to announce DAN the Chief ! He is a MUST request as this is one our best nights out in a long time for hibachi and absolutely made our night !!! Now let’s talk food / quality. The food itself was exceptional. The steak and shrimp combo I ordered was cooked to perfection, with the steak tender and flavorful and the shrimp succulent and fresh. The fried rice, seasoned vegetables, and signature sauces complemented the proteins beautifully. I particularly loved the ginger dressing on the salad and the rich, savory miso soup that started the meal. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, making it perfect for group dinners, celebrations, or even a casual date night. The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Great experience! The prices were higher than expected but I do think it was worth it. We did the dinner for 2 that included filet mignon, shrimp, and lobster with all the trimmings for 110. I like that they serve rice and noodles. The rice could have been better, but the noodles were good. I wasn't crazy about the Yum Yum sauce either. The steak melted in my mouth! The lobster tail was a really good size and delicious! I left satisfied. I would likely go back when I'm in the area. My daughter had drinks at the bar, the bartender was great! You can tell he loves what he does.
