Thank you so much for a very enjoyable dining experience. The accommodations
for 11 people were perfect and making the reservation was simple. I appreciate the fact that the phone was answered when I made the reservation and all my questions were answered. Your competition failed at this tremendously.

This was my first hibachi experience and it did not disappoint! Alex was incredible! I came in with my family for my birthday celebration and brought my 4, 2, and 1 year old and Alex was amazing with keeping them entertained. The cook was hilarious and kept the night thoroughly enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

Rayoka has become out favorite restaurant over the last two years! The food and service are always perfect and tonight was no exception. The atmosphere was so fun as all the hibachi tables were full and everyone was enjoying themselves. We celebrated a family birthday and we enjoyed the best seafood and steak hibachi!

Our family loves Rayoka, great for all ages. With a large family it can be difficult to find a restaurant that everyone likes but at Rayoka there is a dish on the menu that all my kids (ages 1 to 12) want to eat. They all like the show and the interaction of the chefs doing their hibachi thing. The hibachi is more consistently prepared and the meat of a much higher quality at Rayoka than other area competitors.
I have some picky eaters and we are there a couple of times a month with no kid complaints. Beats the hell out of overpriced burgers or pizza "again". Rayoka has my uniquivacal endorsement and recommendation.

The show was great but felt the timing was off. There was a couple that arrived earlier at our table and had already had their drinks and appetizers before we arrived 5 minutes ahead of our reservation. We ordered our drinks and appetizer and we felt rushed when soup and salads started being served immediately.

I have eaten at many restaurants that offer hibachi style menu. This was good but not exceptional. The server and chef were very personable and entertaining and the taste and quality of food was nice. Sushi bar looked inviting and I may visit again just to try it. Over all I would give this a 8.5.

Server didn’t wear a mask. Was very concerned about being exposed. Also, added butter to vegetables and rice. Wish they would have asked. The show was adorable and everyone had a very nice time.
