This is our second time at this location. The sushi area seems to be always empty. The hibachi scene this time was active and rarely lively. Upon our arrival there was no hostesses or wait staff to greet us or to seat us.The special rolls are relatively large and tasty. The menu font is a bit tiny so make sure to read carefully or ask questions.They received a three star rating for amount of time it took for a staff member to realize we were waiting to be seated and after attempting to flag down the bartender and two members of their staff. Truly disappointing.The food is good and recommend if you’re in the mood for some sushi

The food is good and the service was also good but the atmosphere is awful. If you're a family with small children or a group of teenagers going there for the hibachi, then I guess it's the atmosphere you're looking for. But it is not a good place for a regular dinner. The hibachi area is in the middle of the dining room and is very loud. Also, it seems that this is where everyone takes their children for their birthdays and these are celebrated with not only singing staff, but a very loud gong! Order takeout or skip it.

From the time we entered the restaurant we were greeted very pleasantly and taken to our Hibachi Grill table. I Love how open and airy the space is. The service was amazing!Our chef did a really good job by keeping us engaged and cracking some jokes as well.Can you imagine in this day and age the restaurant says NO TIP REQUIRED!? Is this some sort of reverse psychology? Well it worked lol because the service we received was exceptional so it was only fitting to leave a tip for good service.We made reservations, no credit card was required.The menu was also extensive and drinks were delicious as well.

I can’t describe or give more than 5 stars! The food was excellent every single meal was perfectly seasoned and i have a shellfish allergy and was given a separate meal away from the shrimp. The staff greeted us as soon as we came in and were ready with celebrations for my daughters birthday dinner and the chef was funny and interacted with us. they cut our bday cake that we brought in allergy friendly perfectly! each staff member was so nice to us. and they thought we forgot our handbag and called us but it wasn’t ours who does that these days? honest people that’s who if i could give 100 stars i would bless you all at Flame hibachi and give them all a raise! 100 82nd street 7/19/25

My kids are Hibatchi-obsessed! Every city we go to on our travels, they ask if there's a hibachi restaurant. And I love it because it's one of the few meals everyone is happy to eat AND it keeps them entertained. Flame is definitely at the top of our list. Our chef was adorable and talented and the food was delicious! (Which is the main problem with most hibachi places) Everything was really yummy and I was so happy to see all three of my kids gobbling everything up. It is on the pricey side but I think that's just NYC prices, nothing out of the ordinary.
