Review: I have been to this place for Hibachi several times with my friends and I must say I have a mixed feeling about this place.
On one hand it has successfully combined a modern bar / lounge like feel to a Japanese restaurant. On the other hand, it was just too loud to talk and enjoy food.
Don't get me wrong, the food was pretty good, both portion and quality wise. But when it comes to the atmosphere, I am not sure if this is a good place to hang out with your friends to catch up while having food.
Maybe for an after dinner drink and a light snack.
