| - I'm giving Akaska a solid 3 stars for providing a decent meal despite being a tad too pricey. While they don't? do anything exceptionally well, to have that interaction and seeing your food cooked in front of you is a unique experience/nice treat.
The teppanyaki menu seems a bit deceptive so I just ended up getting a $31 set combo for simplicity's sake - which included your meats, salad, miso soup, fried rice, veggies, and ice cream for an all-inclusive meal. But you're able to create-your-own, and pick the proteins of your liking.
I really enjoyed the shrimp which were lightly seasoned. A sesame and a sweet sauce were also provided which complimented them well. I also liked the teriyaki chicken with the crispy onions and the salmon filet was breaking apart in a good way. I was a tad disappointed with the filet Mignon, which was cooked with garlic slices, soy sauce, and butter. It lacked taste and the beef just wasn't as tender as I would have liked it. Fried rice was decent and I really appreciated the fact there was veggies served as well.
If you're going to decide between the beef or the chicken/salmon set meals, go with the latter. Not only do they taste better, you also get more.
Service was really good here - tea was refilled frequently, and the waitresses really did a good job. No complaints at all.
