Best WLM Reviews

I've visited A1 Japanese Steakhouse a few times over the years and typically stick to the hibachi side, but tonight, my wife and I decided to try the regular dining area. We started by sharing the Scorpion drink, which was fantastic—my wife especially loved the dramatic fire in the center. For dinner, she ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp while I opted for the aptly named Fantastic Roll and Shrimp Yaki Udon. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and the experience left me eager to return to try the hibachi grill again.
Unfortunately, I ate here. As soon as we got into the restaurant and they sat us down, I was ready to leave. I decided to stay & give it a shot for the kids. The pics attached will show how dirty the hibachi tables were prior to us sitting down to eat. I asked for my steak well done & it was still very pink inside. The rice was only half way done with the teriyaki sauce. Our cook didn’t seem very friendly and stood around afterwards for a tip, when he clearly did not deserve it from my group. The bill comes and they added drinks we did not order, they did go back to correct it. Honestly, I don’t see myself returning. My major concern is the cleanliness of this restaurant. I am glad I didn’t find anything crawling around. Do not recommend !
This is such an amazing Japanese steak house. Their bento boxes are absolutely fantastic and their udon noodles are to die for.
This has become one of my favorites places to come for dinner. Their staff is always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
The food was great and our cook was great. I’m giving 4 stars because they took along time to even come over and take our drink orders. We had to flag someone down to get refills and they seriously rushed us out after the cook was done. I maybe took 6 bites before the cleaning people were there trying to clean up and set up for the next group. I understand that it’s a Saturday and they were busy but no one should have to rush to eat when paying. It took longer for them to even come service us then they gave us to eat.
This place has terrible service, if you have an issue with your food you'll have to fight for it to be resolved. I received food with a hair in it. I called and was told they would replace it. When I came back for a replacement meal the lady said it wasnt in the system so I must have gotten it. I had to fight with her for her to keep her word. She was calling me a liar by saying I already got the food. I spent so much money here and will not be back since they don't take accountability for their errors. Horrible customer service!!!
Placed a take out order for Mother's Day. Everyone's food was excellent.
I had Filet Mignon, fried rice and vegetables. We have eaten here before and it's always been good.
The restaurant has been remodeled with new ownership. They offer sushi and other Japanese cuisine and hibachi. Food and service is good and seating is comfortable and they have a nice bar and drink options. Prices are about the same as with other similar restaurants depending on what is ordered. Hibachi tables seem to be busy and popular. Tables and booths are available in the dining area.
The staff was really nice and accommodating to grandkids. The quality of food was excellent and prepared with care and love. The chef took pride in making sure all of us always had a good time.
