Fusion Japanese Steak House

Good food. Somewhat noisy mildly annoying, but that's to be expected at a place like this. We could have elected to sit at a table and skipped the show. Each of us got got a hibachi meal of steak, salmon, or scallops. All were well-prepared, and we were serves plenty of food. Plan to spend at least $20/person.

The dreamsicle martini is tasty and the bartenders are very nice.

Our Chef at the big hot table was quite the showman. Not only did he preform the standard egg balancing tricks and the obligatory onion volcano, he did it all to music. It really was fun and the kids loved it. Best of all, he did not force me to try to catch a shrimp in my mouth. The food was well prepared and tasty. The sushi was great, very fresh.

While this is not my favorite way to enjoy Japanese cuisine, way to much salt and butter for my taste, it keeps the young ones entertained and hopefully will be a gateway for them to try other types of Japanese and later more ethnic food as they get older. No child should grow up thinking chicken nuggets and fries are where it's at.

And bonus, free meal on your birthday (show ID) if your party is 6 or more. Score one for me!

Stopped here for lunch on trip from Pittsburgh to Columbus, and ordered the lunch special sashimi combo ($13) with a seaweed salad ($5).  The salad was very good, but the sashimi was unimpressive.  While the quality of the fish itself was okay, the simple ten-piece assortment of maguro (tuna), sake (salmon), super white tuna (escolar), and tai (snapper) was uninspiring (i.e. these are particularly cheap cuts of fish).  Service was on the cold and aloof side.
