Ukai Japanese Steak House

A reservation should be made if you want to sit at a grill and not at a table in the restaurant side, as they are generally very busy, and grill seats fill up. The food is excellent, the chefs are entertaining, and they have a massive variety of fresh made sushi options. Expect to spend about a minimum of $30 with an appetizer, but there will likely be likely be leftovers to take home, as you get a ton of food... rice or noodles, shrimp, veggies, soup and salad come with grill entrees, and combo entrees include dessert.

We were here regularly before the pandemic and ordered takeout a couple times during the PHE. Always fresh. Always delicious. Ecstatic to see they're back open. My son and I had a night out tonight and he decided he wanted sushi. We had seaweed salad and tempura vegetables. He had a California roll with masago. I had the Spartan and MSU rolls. Everything was terrific. Great service. We can't wait to come back for hibachi. (It's been... three years.)

Great drink and food options. Good happy hour options! The hibachi was fun as well, but their ventilation isn't as great as other hibachi restaurants I've been to, and they had to have fans running at the edge of the room to handle the smokiness. The fluorescent lighting kinda screws with the atmosphere a bit too. Our hibachi chef was a lot of fun and had tricks up his sleeve I hadn't seen before!
