  My brother and his girlfriend came into town to visit me and we decided we wanted Hibachi so we decided to try this location out and it was amazing! Alvin was our cook and Ally was our server and they were both entertaining and gave us a great experience. The food was delicious as well so for anyone looking for a great Hibachi place to try check this place out. You won't be disappointed!!

  I hate paying for bad food.
  The atmosphere was great walking in and the drinks really good. Try the mango strawberry margarita, very well done.
  We did not sit at the hibachi tables. Instead, opting to sit at a regular table ordering from the menu.
  The place was packed but only one server for our entire section.  So there were long waits.
  The food was not very good and it was expensive. The steak was cold. Our sushi order was wrong, so we had to send that back. The dynamite poorly  executed, boring no taste. Again on the cold side. Everything was served on top of curly cucumber, which lost its appeal after seeing it on every single dish.
  I'm positive serving your courses on curly cucumber is neutralizing the temperatures of the hot foods. Annoying.
  The shu mai was definitely frozen with no flavor.
  So we left frustrated and hungry.

  Amazing service!! Great atmosphere, staff is attentive. I ordered an amazing Keto dinner and the chef prepared it as I asked! Wow impressed isn't the word. I'll be coming back again! Order the hot green tea it's amazing, great taste it stays hot in the kettle they bring it out to you. The soup and salad is fresh! I would love to give this place 10 stars.

  I recently came in on a Thursday evening with two friends. We didn't think ahead to make a reservation, so rather than sitting through the 1 hour+ wait to sit at the hibachi grill with show, we opted to bypass the wait entirely and sit at an individual table by the sushi bar.
  
  It was very busy when we arrived and it took a while for our waitress, Holly, to greet us but considering she had a full section we didn't think much of it. We promptly ordered our cocktails and meal in one swoop. One member of our table had a to-go order as well and our waitress instructed her to go ahead and order it so that the kitchen could go ahead and prepare it and we wouldn't have to wait for it at the end of the meal (remember this fact because it's important later).
  
  After about 30 minutes our salads (which were SWIMMING in ranch dressing) and soup were dropped off (minus silverware) so we had to wait to eat the salads while we flagged down our waitress. Our hibachi entrees arrived not long after and our waitress was nice enough to give us a whole jug of the amazing white sauce they serve here to eat our food with. I ordered the filet and teriyaki chicken hibachi entree and it was everything I wanted to be and delicious as I remember it.
  
  The downside of this review for the the evening begins when it came time to bring our checks. There were multiple errors that needed to be fixed and it look a LONG time to get our waitress Holly's attention (despite the fact that by this point in the evening our section only had 2 other tables she was waiting on). After nearly another 10 minutes she returned with the corrected bills and when we inquired to the status of the to-go order (that was placed at the beginning of the evening) we were informed that (surprise!) the order was given to the wrong customers and the kitchen would need to prepare a new order that would be fast-tracked.
  
  Fast-forward 30 minutes later and STILL no food and no update or appearance back at our table from our waitress. She was going to every other table in our section except ours so it was hard to not feel like we were being intentionally avoided because of the mix-up. The member of our party who placed the to-go order finally ended up leaving the table and chasing her down to get a status update. After a few more minutes (we're at about a total of 35 extra minutes spent waiting for this food now not to mention the time spent waiting for corrected bills) our waitress appeared with the to-go order. Upon a quick inspection, we realized one of the items (a sushi roll) was missing from the bag. Our waitress quickly returned with it...apparently it had been prepared but they just forgot to add it in. Go figure.
  
  Yokoso gets 2 stars for the food, which was yummy as always, but the customer service on this visit was sorely lacking and I don't think anyone from this visit will be making a return visit anytime soon.

  The show was excellent,  food just so so. Definitely not worth 75 dollars for a couple. Massive amounts of rice  and vegetable.
