Sake - Springfield

Kid-friendliness: The hibachi experience is great for children, as the chefs actively engage with them, from the volcano show to using a water bottle to extinguish the flames. Wheelchair accessibility: There's ample space to maneuver a wheelchair or even a motorized chair comfortably.

Food: They've significantly reduced the portion sizes. Both my son and I ordered scallop hibachi, and we each received just five small bay scallops, along with rice, vegetables, lukewarm soup, and a salad drenched in dressing. Instead of serving whole cuts of meat (like beef filet, chicken breast, or salmon), they now bring out everything pre-cut, resulting in smaller meat portions. Everything was overly sauced and overcooked—though I suppose that depends on the chef—but it just wasn’t what it used to be. You know how chefs used to toss shrimp and might even throw a shrimp tail into their hat? They don’t do that anymore, likely because shrimp is no longer included as part of the appetizer. Service: The waitstaff seemed remarkably indifferent. You could see the lack of enthusiasm in everyone’s eyes, from the hostess at the door to the server bringing drinks, and even the chef cooking your meal—they all seemed to wish they were anywhere else. Atmosphere: When we arrived, the lone hibachi chef was sitting outside by the front door, smoking a cigarette and using his phone. Inside, you're greeted by a dimly lit restaurant that appears stuck in the past. The second thing you notice is that it’s completely empty. Once seated, you start to take in your surroundings: boxes stacked in corners, supplies cluttering tables, and bags of rice piled in the hallway. Congratulations, you now get to enjoy an overpriced, undersized, overcooked meal served with lackluster service in what feels like a supply closet. P.S. Just 200 feet south, there’s a much better restaurant.

I was in town for New Year's Eve and unfortunately chose to dine here. I wouldn't recommend it – it's simply a waste of money. The food was awful, and they didn't even provide the sauces that should have come with it. I felt cheated out of a proper New Year's dinner. The portions were small, and the rice was hard, along with the meat.

Absolutely delicious. Can't go wrong with a bento box ? ? ?

My baby spilled my soup on me and I decided to leave before my food was prepared so they tried to charge me $30 for a few sips of miso soup that my baby spilled on me and a salad that I didn’t even get a chance to eat I won’t be coming back and am telling others of this experience thanks for making Mother’s Day bad
