Starting out with appetizers, the Chicken Tempura for $7.95 for dinner and Shrimp Tempura $8.95 are the most popular, according to Joanne, an assistant manager at the restaurant.

In choosing a main entree, Joanne explained the Teppanyaki dishes are popular because they are prepared in front of guests and are not that spicy.

A real treat to test one's palate is the House Special Torched Maki that are quick flame seared and spicy. They range from $14.95-$15.95, depending on what is ordered.
