In search for a decent place for Teppanyaki we settled on this spot as the other option was quite a bit further up north.
We were a mid sized group and had reserved in advance. Walking in I was taken aback by the size of the place and number of teppanyaki tables they had here. I counted at least 6 though though I could have easily have missed a couple since the place is huge. There are some big communal style table and then there are somewhat smaller enclosed area should you decide to have a more private dinning experience.
The menu is quite extensive and they include quite a few staple dishes associated with this cuisine. Teppanyaki options consist of set menus and À la carte.
There is a Set Menu has the following and is only served on Sundays.
Salad, Soup Teppanyaki main plate that consists of Chicken, Beef, Scallops, Zucchini, Onions and mushrooms with a single scoop of ice cream to finish the dinner. It seemed reasonable as it covered all the bases.
Even though it was Sunday the place quickly filled up from what seemed like regulars.
The chef arrived with our stuff and quickly started to cook. Other than the volcano onion there wasn't much of showman ship here (popularized by a chain that has made this kind of food mainstream) and it ended up rather quickly. There wasn't much interaction with the diners just cook and serve.
All this would have been OK if the food was good but alas it didn't improve the impression. Here is a blow by blow
Salad: Veggies were fresh but drowned in an odd oily dressing.
Soup: Egg drop was decent
Main attraction: very average IMO. Steak was OK chicken was white meat and even though advertised as fresh I doubt it was organic as it was bland. Scallops were OK.
Service was OK as well. Decent selection of sake while a predictable selection for beer.
All said and done I would say 2.5 stars for teppanyaki.
