The hostess greeted us and she was very welcoming. Although we were the only hibachi table at the time, she wasn’t annoyed or put off by us coming in on a relatively quiet Thursday night. We sat down and met our waiter so quickly that we hadn’t even chosen our drinks. The kids, we went with my niece and nephew, had the Japanese sodas and Chris had a Kirin Light and I had a Mai Tai. (These are quickly becoming my favorite drink for the summer.)
Hibachi is hibachi. There are just slight variations on what you are going to get. We started with the soup and salad. I would put their soup on the better end of the spectrum and the salad was fine. The ginger dressing had a good consistency, but could’ve used a bit more spice (?). Their dipping sauces are flavorful. I like the ginger sauce so much that I go for two of them. The mustard almost has a bit of a sweet taste, which makes it tasty, but not spicy.
The cook was very entertaining and had decent accuracy as he launched zucchini at our mouths. Even though we were only a group of four, he did a great job of engaging us. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. The volcano is definitely my nephew’s favorite point and his eyes lit up brilliantly. The portions were large even for a hibachi restaurant. Everything had a good flavor and was certainly above average as far as hibachi places in Westchester are concerned.
Anyone going to a hibachi place knows what they are going to get and you can only hope that you are there on a good night were the food is tasty. This particular evening, we were all very lucky to enjoy an entertaining show, as well as good drinks and food.
