   This place is absolutely not the best place to go for Hibachi. Granted if you get there between 5 and 545 pm, you get Buy 1 Get 1 free, In my opinion it is not even worth going for that. We go out to eat alot, a whole lot, because we usually work on the road. We were at home, in town this week, and thought we would check out the Local flavor. Boy were we ever not impressed. The sauces were pretty good, the soup had a good flavor, and the veggies were well done. That is the extent of the Good parts. The chicken was way overcooked and "rubbery." The steak(supposedly a Filet) was mostly flavorless. The fried rice, which was an added $3.95, was at most decent. All - in - all .... We give this place 1 Hat out of a possible 7 on my Chef's Hat Ratings Chart. Thanks for reading !!!

   A little expensive. Especially charging $3.50 per person or fried rice. I do like that they have diet portions.
   
   We went late one night and had our own table with a great chef. Service is good.
   
   I prefer Nagoya.

   We went looking for a good Hibachi in Arlington. This was our first attempt. It was so awful we will never return. The food is over priced and although it is edible, it isnt memorable except in a bad way.
   If you want real Hibachi, and you are willing to pay this price, Might as well go into Dallas to Benny Hannas. JMHO
