We are staying at the Roanoke hotel & conference center & drove out to Salem for this Japanese restaurant.I enjoyed my Valentine's night but sadly this would not be my pick for any future evenings. First impression; the decor was very tired (not dirty just not maintained for a vey long time).The service was good & quick (a little to quick but was friendly).We had the Hibachi Tenderloin, shrimp & fish at $27.95 each which came with 2-3oz Soup, Salad, Vegetables & Rice.We are potion control conscious & the portion size & $ value was good overall.Quality of food; Average+The Soup was tasteless & reminded me of a basic chicken stock bullion we added a little soy sauce to give it some flavor & was just ok.The Small bowl of salad was plain shredded iceberg lettuce with the house sesame seed sauce dressing, again was ok (but not worth leaving home for).The entrée Tenderloin & Shrimp was very good! Tasty & cooked perfectly! Unfortunately when asked I ordered my Tenderloin 'Medium' however this establishment 'assumes' that 'Medium' also applies to the Fish! So although it was tasty it was crispy on the bottom & around the edges & needed a knife to brake it up!!! I did not eat it.Being a Japanese restaurantIt would have been nice to have the usual choice of chopsticks or cutlery (silverware) rather than just a fork, as it was I had to ask for the knife to brake up the fish hahaha.Such a shame as this restaurant has the potential to be so much better with just a few simple changes. I hope the owners take it up a few notches real quick if they want to keep up with other good similar establishments nearby in both Salem & Roanoke.

Inexpensive and reasonably interesting lunch options, including a Sunday buffet. Buffet includes some sushi, miso soup, a few other options. At least one dish had a cleaning fluid aftertaste. Friendly service overall but not as attentive as expected on items like extra napkins and drink refills. Needs cosmetic attention (carpet, parking lot).

A quiet place for an excellent dinner nicely prepared and served I ordered the hibachi chicken and my dinner companions all ordered the hibachi steak. While awaiting our meal we ordered vodka martinis which were ice cold and perfect. The first course was soup then our salads (with a delightful dressing) and then our entrees. Although there were other diners we were able to enjoy our own conversation with no distractions.
