Kouzoku Japanese Steakhouse - Claremont

Was not impressed with the sushi. Miniscule amount of salmon in the Philadelphia roll. Same went for the Dragon roll although we didn't bother to get a photo of it. Hibachi dinners were good. Also have never been denied a seat at the hibachi. Yes, we were just a couple, 4 other couples came in after we did, none allowed a hibachi seat. It wasn't until a family of 4 (2 were practically toddlers) were allowed a hibachi seat.

Our chef was amazing! Very friendly and put on a great show. Generally the service beyond the chef was below average. I had to ask them to clean the hibachi table/station after we had already sat down and food had already been sterted to be served. The restaurant itself is very old and rundown looking both outside and inside. Compliments to our chef once again.

The Hibachi chef was very interactive with all the guests

Really impressed by the creativity of the roles! We had the crispy rock shrimp appetizer, crispy jalapeño role (the role Jalapeño instead of Nori- tasty!, the shrimps Tempoura Bento Box and the Hibachi chicken dinner. Everything was delicious and the service and the atmosphere were great. It was a great place for lunch.

Extremely busy and could use more employees, but this is the norm everywhere today. Food was delicious, great Hibachi experience. We will definitely be back....this is the #1 of my son who will be in place every year for birthday
