“ Food was fresh and tasteful, great portions too. Our chef was wonderful, and that's not just the saki talking. He even lit the table on fire for my daughters birthday celebration! He made the whole event into a show. Price was as expected and yet everything else was above expectations. We all ordered hibatchi and sodas. Also got the Veggie tempura, only real complaint would be that they brought the Veggie tempura after the soups and salads, so we were a bit rushed to finish those bowls. But the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Did I mention the food was wonderful, fresh and flavorful? Would return. ”
“ Our third time visiting and it has been consistently delicious with generous portions and great chefs and service! Not sure why the 4.1 stars, Jana deserves 5! So yummy! ”
“ It's ridiculous how good this place even though the reviews say otherwise. My guess is because of the huge a number of children in the place that are unattended and ill behaved. You can't walk across the dining room without one of these awful children running into you or being obnoxious. Our waitresses (Judy) was wonderful even though a child ran right into her and almost made her spill her tray. The chef is excellent, the food is excellent, the bar drinks are wonderful, and our waitress Judy was just delightful. If the parents would take any sort of control over their children it would be a much more pleasant dining experience. It is one of the best dinners I've had at a Japanese steakhouse anywhere in this area. We had a table with children for a children's birthday yet our family knows how to behave in public. The management was totally helpless in this situation. I get that they're doing the best they can. All they can do is offer good food, good drinks, and good service. I guess it's up to the parents to control their horrible children. ”
“ This is have to be one of the best hibachi and sushi place i ever been too. I went to JANA for the first time, the server was friendly and welcoming. First, the server take us the the table and take our orders we waited for a few minutes the Hana hi chef to come out. The chef was friendly and fun. You can tell the meat and the vegetables are good quality and fresh. I order a few sushi fro the menu. OMG the sushi was amazing fresh and beautiful. The sushi chef came out and said hi to us because we keep give him the compliments how amazing the sushi is. We really really enjoy the lunch a lot. I personally will definitely come back again. ”
“ I've lived in the area for almost two years, and I can't believe it has taken me this long to try this place. We ate dinner here tonight and had the hibachi. The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. I had the steak and salmon with the fried rice. Before we left, the waitress overheard that it was my husband's birthday, so she brought out fried ice cream and sang Happy Birthday. Everything was so flavorful. I will definitely be back! I already told my mom, who is a foodie, to come and try this place. I highly recommend it! ”
“ We came for a birthday celebration during lunch. Huge portions. Chef Mike (Magic Mike) was awesome as usual. Food was cooked to perfection. We had filet and shrimp. Also had chicken. All good. ”
“ Very cute atmosphere. Wonderful service. I would have to say my favorite roll was the spicy tuna which was so good I forgot to get a picture. We also had the dynamite roll which was delicious. ”
“ Boy oh boy did I enjoy my visit to JANA STEAKHOUSE! My wife has never picked a better spot. The food was phenomenal in presentation and taste! I was blown away. Loved or server. She was so fun and energized. It's so nice to see someone who doesn't hate their life when you're out for a good time. She made our night. Can't miss out on this spot! And if you're thinking of going somewhere else for Japanese. You're messin' up. This is THE spot! ”
