I came here with my family to celebrate my birthday and Mother’s Day. With the new rewards program I got a $50 certificate. How wonderful. We must be so lucky that the restaurant was very quiet when we arrived. We were in an out in an hour, which is unheard of. Ashley our server and Estuardo our chef were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The restaurant needs a big upgrade. But as long as my meal is good I am ok with that.

We've gone to quite few hibachi places in our area over the years. Sogo is hands down the best. The food is excellent, the menu is very extensive and the staff is marvelous. No reason to get squash thrown at you anywhere else..
