My boyfriend took his family and I here for his Dad's birthday. It was great we all were stuffed before we even got to the entree and they have a great show. It's definitely a great experience!

One of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to. Try the Vegas & Philly rolls and they have the best fried rice ever! You also want to try their shrimps and lobster ! ????

Go early for lunch . Less crowded , more fun and cheaper! Birthday coupons are awesome!

Great restaurant . Order the seafood diablo (but note that "diablo " has a reason - it is hot like hell!) and the plum wine . They're both delicious.

The hibachi steak is the bomb! Get it with chicken or shrimp and you're just asking for more pleasure!!

The best part is that you get to watch them cook the food in front of you. Then you get to eat it and get stuffed.

Don't expect to get any benefits from their rewards program!  Free birthday dinner the month of your birthday?  But not ON your birthday if it is January 1st - not valid.  Really?

Abran Alejandro Quevedo

Awesome show...If possible, ask for Santiago as your chef because he's very entertaining and a wonderful showman

Oliver Chua

If you're hungry, go "double" on the chicken fried rice . That way, you can eat one while your entree is being cooked.

Tom Howell-Hunsberger

So good!! Get there early, or you're waiting!!

Even if the restaurant is empty they put you in the wait list and takes forever. Good food but after 45 min wait it becomes sour

This is your good old fashion theater. They have an IMAX, which is a bonus. I will say that the seats need an upgrade considering but I am not complaining. Good movies, good food and always ambiance! - K & J
