We enjoyed our time at RoJ. Good food food and drinks, wish the teppanyaki chef was more engaging. We were disappointed by the service. We came for our sons 6th birthday, and not only was this not recognized at all, but the staff forgot his food order. When we pointed this out they were confused about his order off the kids menu. They ended up supplying an option that was reasonable but overall it was just a miss on service overall.

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had reservations for 7pm and didn’t get seated until 7:40. Chef didn’t arrive until 45 minutes later. After dinner they gave the check and they did not acknowledge my wife’s birthday. I am not satisfied with this restaurant

Steak was great, lobster not so much. Over cooked and burnt. They took care of it off the bill, so that was good.

It was FREEZING in the restaurant. We welcomed when the chef lit the huge fire at the table. It was not crowded which was unusual for a Friday night at that time. The food portion for what we paid didn’t match up. I asked if they had other dressing selections for the salad and they said no. I told our waitress that I didn’t want a salad then. She brought me one anyway. I asked for broccoli only for my vegetables and they don’t have it. I’ve never been to a hibachi restaurant that doesn’t have broccoli. I had carrots instead and they were not good. The fried rice and soup were delicious. The chef at our table was extremely nice and personable. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chicken was as well. Just very small portions for what you pay.

Had the most boring table chef ever - no flare, no flaming hibachi, nothing special at all - which is one of the key reasons for going to Ron of J … our waiter Glenn however was top notch and very apologetic about the chef … won’t be back there anytime soon

For starters, Juan was terrific. I really enjoyed talking with him and he did great on the cook. Fried beef rice is great and honestly it’s the only place I’ve ever had beef fried rice. It’s always chicken or shrimp etc elsewhere. And putting that crazy good egg sauce makes it even much better. Thanks.

We meet for a business dinner & it was great!! A round table, loud enough to not be over heard by others & quiet enough for a conversation.
