My family has been going here for over 20 years. The building is a little out dated, BUT the food is always amazing. You get a lot of food and it is worth it. The staff are ALWAYS friendly and attentive. Highly recommend over Kanki. At Kanki you are paying for the atmosphere at best.

To be fair for a Saturday night we didn’t have to wait long for a table for 8 people. However the food isn’t fresh at all. I had the shogun dinner which is a combination of steak, chicken and supposedly jumbo shrimp. I say supposedly because the shrimp definitely wasn’t fresh and after the cook finished preparing it. It definitely did not have the texture that shrimp normally have. This shrimp was overly soft and frail looking. I think it’s the poor quality of food. The grill had food particles embedded in edge where the grill and table connect. Very unpleasant sight to see. The cleanliness was subpar. I used the ladies restroom and the water pressure from the faucet was very low and the water trickled from out not even a pencil width. I hope the employees had a decent working sink in the kitchen, because in the bathroom there no way to efficiently and effectively clean your hands without the right amount of water pressure. The waitress was on point she took care of our needs, I definitely appreciate that. With all of that said, I won’t be coming back.

The staff was friendly, as well as the hibachi chef. It has a great atmosphere, just know it is fairly dim inside in case you need to prepare for that. The lunch portion was definitely quantified for two meals. Overall a great place to grab food.

All of the food we had was excellent. It's definitely a fun experience. But it's loud, so just be aware if you are with someone sensitive to noises.

Alright, let's give Kurama its moment in the spotlight! While Kanki may have its loyal following, Kurama has some shining qualities of its own. First off, Kurama's food? It's like a flavor adventure waiting to happen. From their sushi rolls bursting with freshness to their teriyaki dishes that hit all the right notes, Kurama knows how to please a palate. And let's not forget about the ambiance. Stepping into Kurama is like stepping into a cozy corner of Japan, with its charming decor and inviting atmosphere making you feel right at home. But perhaps Kurama's greatest strength lies in its staff. Friendly, attentive, and always ready with a recommendation, they go above and beyond to ensure that every dining experience is a memorable one. So, while Kanki may have its perks, Kurama holds its own as a delicious destination worth exploring. Who knows? You might just find your new favorite dish hidden among its menu offerings!
