I had the hibachi scallops that were delicious when a bit smaller than the one I had last year for my birthday. The other courses were a salad with really good dressing, their signature onion soup, a shrimp appetizer, and grilled onions, peppers and squash slices. We added extras like extra scallops for $11, mushrooms for less than $5, and spicy rice instead of white rice that comes with the meal. They also served their signature diving sauce. As a birthday boy, they also brought me chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and an illuminated candle, accompanied by the staff who sing me a happy birthday. I did not mention the artistry with knives carried out from the cooking table side, because we sat on the terrace to improve the social dispute. Normally I've eaten inside, where the whole meal is prepared right in front of you. The cook is talented with knives and it is very entertaining for the whole family. Small ones who usually find the cook very dedicated by restaurant meals fidgit.
My first time here to celebrate a family member bday what can I say that I really loved eating delicious! Timmy, our cook was great, funny and nice! We enjoy our time here will definitely come back. I also liked how they made a picture of us have made us two copies. Our waitress was actually really nice patient with us, who explains everything to us, as she went over the menu for the first time, how to order. Five stars!
Food was DELICIOUS! Chef was great.. really friendly, chatty and fun! Host at the beginning was not great, she let us sit 15 minutes in front, although we had made a booking and arrived on time, did not offer us a drink at the bar as she did to people who came after us. Our waiter was also somewhat inexperienced, not knowing what several drinks were. Had to ask 2 waiters on soy sauce to eat my sushi. Happy hour is also misleading and not very clear where it is available within the facility. I would recommend only for food, service needs improvement especially for the prices you pay.
Love the lunch steak, chicken or salmon boat! Best deal in San Diego. Free hot tea. Excellent service, always great food. I visit the bar about one a week for a quick lunch or a lunch meeting. The gift card deals with 20% more in gift card is a great deal.
Our chef (Johnny) was friendly, personable, and just an all around nice guy. He gave us a great show and he's very talented with the utensils. Our waitress (Kristen) was fabulous. Served us with a smile and was on top of it. Never had to ask for refills and was prompt in clearing the dishes and just a very nice girl. Best experience.
