" I decided to try this place after hearing about it from friends. The initial impression was good, but there were some hiccups. The staff was friendly but a bit disorganized. My sushi roll was good, but the presentation was lacking. Excited to try the hibachi next time, though! Overall, enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here multiple times, and generally, the food is quite good. The only downside was my last visit, where the service was lacking, leading to a forgettable experience. The sushi rolls were fine, but I expected a little more from the hibachi. However, it’s usually a reliable restaurant, and I’d go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. The food had good quality, but there wasn’t anything spectacular about it. The service was lacking as well; we really didn’t feel taken care of. It was just a regular meal without any wow factor. Probably would recommend for sushi, but not for the hibachi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering at VKI, and it was fantastic! They were accommodating to our large party and kept the food flowing. The kids were entertained by the chef and couldn’t stop talking about it afterward. Only downside was a slight delay in service, but overall we had a great night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Japanese steakhouses, and VKI stands out for its delicious flavors and vibrant atmosphere. The hibachi chef was entertaining, making the meal fun for the whole family. Even the kids were engaged while watching him prepare our meals. The grilled meats were flavorful, and don't get me started on the fried rice! So good! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become my go-to for Japanese! The sushi is incredibly fresh and the flavors are spot on. Plus, they have a great selection of drinks too. The atmosphere is bright and lively, perfect for a night out with friends. Highly recommend their special rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What an amazing culinary experience! The hibachi show was entertaining and the food was prepared right in front of us, which was a unique touch. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sauces were delightful. The fruits for dessert were a nice touch too. I will definitely come back and bring all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
