I don't know why I came here considering last year was overkill for me. My work is close by and they LOVE doing welcome lunches here. I hadn't been here before until I came here with my co-workers. They love it because, if requested, can make the servers dress you up into traditional Japanese costumes and make you dance as they sing a song in celebration of your event. It's pure entertainment for those that don't get chosen to dress up and dance.
Anyway, the service is terrible. They treat you like sheep. And they definitely don't encourage you to stay around and converse with your party because they have another reservation and want to kick you out right away.
So why did I come back this time on my own? I was craving the salty sea same ginger steak sauce thing they put over your rice! It's probably very terrible for you but the taste is so unique to Japanese village that I was craving it.
This time I went to the dining side (not the teppanyaki tables) for a quick lunch. Note: they deep fry their teppanyaki chicken teriyaki! I know it doesn't make sense considering teppanyaki means fry-on-griddle or something right?
Anyway, to sum it up. Sauces are good (I think they are all house made) and the rest was bad. Terrible customer service or lack there of. So I guess if you have a craving it's good otherwise I'm sure you can get teppanyaki at a better place that will treat you like a person - not sheep.
