" The restaurant was cozy and welcoming. Our server greeted us but was a bit scatterbrained, forgetting our appetizer order until we reminded her. However, once the food arrived, it was delicious! The hibachi steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The chef did entertain us quite well with his skills. I'll likely return, hoping for a smoother service next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I frequent this place, and generally, it's quite enjoyable. However, there have been incidents of undercooked chicken, which I found concerning. I’ve mentioned it to the staff, and they seem to remedy it instantly, but it shouldn’t have reached that point. I appreciate their quick actions and hope they sharpen their quality control. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hibachi cooking was a blast! Highly entertaining and the food was quite good, though a touch under-seasoned for my taste. The chef was skillful and amusing. Prices were reasonable considering the portion sizes; I went home with a hefty to-go box. The restaurant felt a little outdated, but clean overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Aya has potential but needs substantial improvement. The sushi was acceptable but nothing more. The hibachi experience we were looking forward to left us wanting more tricks and pizazz from the chef. The service was mediocre at best; our drinks came late, and our server seemed distracted. I’m giving them another shot since the food quality was decent and the price was reasonable. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mixed. The food was satisfactory; however, the wait staff is not well-trained. Our server seemed overwhelmed and unhelpful. The food portions seemed generous, but my steak lacked flavor. I might give it another chance but would like clearer service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the ribs and teriyaki chicken! The flavors are fantastic, and the meal comes with plenty of food for the price. Just a note that the restaurant could be cleaner overall. However, I’m returning for the deliciousness of the food alone. Staff should pay more attention to cleaning, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! Our experience was dreadful, from the service to the food quality. The chef dropped a piece of shrimp and just picked it back without even mentioning it. The food lacked flavor and freshness. Save your money and visit somewhere else. " (*Curated Review*)
