Pretty Cool Experience, 02-27-2012

Review:
I was skeptical going here at first. I didn't know if I'd like the food, experience, etc. I must say that I walked away impressed. The food was pretty good and it was something different than the ordinary dinner.
We started in the bar area which is very dimly lit and kind of contemporary. Kind of had a clubby feel to a certain extent. Drink prices were average, not cheap but not totally expensive.
We then moved to our dining area. We had a group of 4 and there were 4 others that sat around the grill. Dinner prices ranged from $20 to $40/person. The experience is largely based on the cook you get. We had a nice guy and did a pretty good job, I saw others that looked pretty skilled and had more presentation. The food was pretty good and all cooked up in front of you. And you get small portions throughout.
Service was friendly but it was really slow getting drinks and our bills ended up getting charged to wrong cards. This was probably the only negative.
I would definitely recommend and go back. To me to seems better in a group than just a couple, and probably would go a few times a year at most. But the food was good and experience was pretty cool.

This is a fun place for the whole family ! The bar area is unique and cozy.....with great decor and a giant squid above your head ! There is a wide range of available drinks.....both American and Asian. Kids love the Japanese bubble gum soda with a marble stuck in the bottle neck ! I am told by my family this is the best shrimp in town.......but I don't think I'll ever know since I always order the filet mignon....which is simply fabulous. Portions are large, and of course the juggling and expertise of the hibachi chefs is always amusing.....and they pay special attention to amuse any kids present. Hibachi dinners include soup, salad, tea, appetizer, meal and dessert. The lifesize ninja statues are cool, and the staff seems to enjoy themselves. Nakashimas is a place we go for a special occasion, as the whole experience is great.

This is certainly an interesting restaurant with its decor. Particularly in the lounge area your eyes won't be bored. It's very dark and there's a giant squid or octopus hanging from the ceiling plus large murals on the walls. They have large booths that are very private and they serve a couple of Japanese beers and sakes. The sushi is only so-so (I tried tuna and eel rolls) but the hibachi is very good (the angus filet is delicious and tender).

I had a friend visiting from out of town and we decided to try this place because we were looking for a unique dining option. This place seems like a pretty well run restaurant. The food is good (what you expect from a Japanese steakhouse), and the portions are generous. The service is efficient and the place definitely has a unique style. We only tried the hibachi and not the sushi, but I thought the quality of hibachi food was better than some other places I have tried in the past. 4 stars because our chef wasn't the most pleasant and our waiter, although efficient, was not friendly.

What a great place to eat or to hang out with either just adults or with the whole family. The lounge here is very inviting with great decor. The food is always excellent and there is something for all taste buds. The sushi is worth its value as is the hibachi. I would definitely recommend!
