We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! My husband and I, along with a group of friends, visited to celebrate his birthday, and we’re so glad we chose this place. We went to the teppanyaki restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. They were very attentive to everyone’s individual preferences and requests. The chef was incredibly lively and engaging, creating a fun and interactive atmosphere. He even invited my husband to join him at the cooking station and follow his instructions, which made it an unforgettable experience. The evening ended with live songs performed by a wonderful guitarist from the staff, including the birthday song, and we even had a little dance to celebrate. It was the perfect touch to a fantastic celebration. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. It was definitely worth every penny!
