    We used a Groupon to try Sumo Steakhouse last month and liked it. Mon thru Wed is kids eat free so we went back and the food was even better. Well seasoned and tasty. The kids loved it.

    This is my favorite place to eat in the whole city. I think their Teriyaki sauce recipe really pushes the menu over the top. Not to mention it's a really funny place with a great full bar

    I had a groupon for this restaurant, and man oh man, I would've paid full price for this. It's the best hibachi place in town, with good hibachi cooks, great waiters, and a relaxed environment.

    I had my birthday there yesterday, it was awesome. They were able to accommodate 20 of my closest friends. I've been to Benihana and Osaka, and this by far my favorite hibachi restaurant.

    The food was excellent! Better than I expected, me and my girlfriend had great service from the waiter to the chef. If you want a funny and entertaining who can also cook, ask for Chef Vader.

    I've been to a lot of Japanese steakhouse is. This is by far the best Japanese steakhouse that we have ever eaten at. The fillet mignon and scallops were out of this world.

    Ate here for dinner and had fillet mignon that was super. It was very tender. Our chef was funny and entertaining. They do have a pink yum-yum sauce but my meal was great.

    Our daughter was scared of the fire, and we kept having to take her out. The manager had the bar make a smoothie for her for being "brave," and we thought that was really sweet.

    NOTE: I am not a big sushi eater. This was one of my first times eating sushi. PROS: our waiter, Juan, was AWESOME. Ask for him. CONS: I was not impressed at all with the sushi. It was flavorless.
