I was very disappointed with the hibachi meal I ordered in VKI. I ordered the same meal I always order at Sakura in Colony........

Hibachi Filet Mignon - cooked medium.

The presentation does not compare at VKI to Sakura starting with the dinner ware. Sakura has rectangular plates and dipping sauce plates which are also rectangular and line up with the main entrée plate. It is the Sakura dipping sauce (the pink one) that I absolutely LOVE to dip the filet and the veggies in. The other dipping sauce is great too but that Sakura sauce is by far, the reason I go to Sakura. The Filet Mignon is always cooked to perfection, never over or under done.....just the perfect amount of pink in the middle of the meat and very juicy.

Now for VKI......my meal was served on a round plate, NO DIPPING SAUCES and the filet was barely pink inside with no visible juices. Just a pure disappointment considering this restaurant charges more than Sakura. And I must have had that same waitress that does not crack a smile......EVER.
