12 Lunar — Restaurant in Forest Park

One thing that bothered me is they automatically add 18% to the bill for a tip. The menu indicated a tip would only be added for parties of 5 or more, but we were a party of just two people. If you use a credit card to pay, it asks if you want to tip even though the tip is already included. They must hope that people don't notice that the tip is automatically included so they can collect double tips. At any rate, just add 25% to the prices to figure out what you actually will pay and make sure you click on "No Tip" if you pay by credit card. I personally like to be given a choice as to how much tip I want to leave. The food was adequate for hibachi type meals. The sushi was not as good as we expected though, but it was average. We ordered the Hibachi Combo A and the Rainbow sushi roll. Maybe they have a better tasting sushi roll. If the owner gets a chance to read this, I would recommend that if you are reliant on receiving those 18% tips to keep in business, then I would advise simply raising your prices and putting a note that the price includes tipping. Adding a tip for even small parties is somewhat deceptive to the customer. If the service is good, most customers will leave a tip. I know that some do not and that is why I don't like the tipping culture. Many restaurants now are paying their wait staff a higher wage and including the tip in their pricing. This is becoming very popular with customers knowing they just have to pay the tax on top of the bill. I have traveled to several countries in Asia and the restaurants there include everything in their price. In Japan it is considered an insult to leave a tip. Please think about this practice, you are so far the only restaurant that we have encountered...

Hibachi cooking offers an unforgettable dining experience that combines skillful artistry with delicious flavors. Originating from Japan, hibachi refers to a style of grilling food on an iron griddle or grill, often in front of the guests. The hibachi chef is the star of the show, expertly handling knives, tossing ingredients, and creating a culinary spectacle while preparing meals such as grilled meats, vegetables, and seafood.

One of the highlights of hibachi dining is the personal interaction between the chef and the guests. As the chef cooks right before your eyes, it creates an engaging atmosphere filled with sizzling sounds, aromatic smells, and impressive cooking techniques. The chef often includes playful tricks such as tossing knives in the air or performing flame tricks, keeping the guests entertained while they eagerly await their meals.

The food itself is typically cooked with bold flavors and fresh ingredients, with a mix of savory sauces, butter, and seasonings. Common hibachi dishes include steak, shrimp, chicken, and vegetables, all grilled to perfection. The combination of the sizzling grill and the expert timing of the chef ensures that each dish is flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked.

For many people, dining at a hibachi grill is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. The lively atmosphere, the fresh ingredients, and the skilled chefs make it an unforgettable evening out. Whether celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out, hibachi cooking never fails to deliver a unique and delicious...

A friend and went to lunch on a Friday. The service was blah, although I gave service 3 stars. Not friendly, but not rude or welcoming. She was just there. The food came out pretty quick, that goes for the soup and salad as well. They were both the standard miso soup and ginger salad. The atmosphere was really nice. The decor was intimate, and the furniture was very comfortable. The atmosphere could be a nice date night spot. Now the good and the bad on the food. They give you a lot of food, but that's all. The food had absolutely no seasoning, not even salt and pepper. I ordered the steak and chicken combo, and my friend ordered shrimp and steak. We both agreed that the food was extremely bland. The meat had absolutely, no taste. They to need to either cook the food in garlic butter or a teriyaki sauce. At least it should be an option. Otherwise, I would never go back. Even the sweet tea was not sweet and tasted like colored water.

I'm glad that we have a new sit-down eatery in Morrow. I also understand that we don't need overly seasoned food, but we both felt like there was absolutely no seasoning on the meat. I would like to give the place another chance, but only if the food was cooked as it should be, seasoned. We both tossed...
