[Good]
Our waitress was attentive and nice.
Our chef for our table was nice, but that's about it.
[The Bad]
PERFORMANCE/TEPPANYAKI SHOW:
Considering the restaurant is located in the heart of Yorkville, you would think that their food and service would be absolutely top notch, almost perfect. But with our experience, it wasn't. Our chef was not entertaining at all. He first did the egg spin trick but out of the 3 eggs, only one worked but we said "AWW, It's okay!!" :)). Then the next trick he did was the onion volcano trick, in which you would think the chefs wouldh have it down since all teppanyaki chefs knows this trick. Other than that, nothing, not even a single word. My sister, her boyfriend and I literally just sat there waiting for our food. His cutting skills was amazing but that was it. The girls next to us were really excited at first but like us, we were all pretty highly disappointed.
FOOD: The food wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It was slightly too salty and although that may be based on personal taste, it still wasn't that great.
Teppanyaki is supposed to be a fun, entertaining dinning experience. The other tables had chefs who did spectacular shows (salt/pepper, juggling, catching things with their hats, singing, joking) and all you hear is laughter while wishing you had that chef at your table instead. Yes, our reservation was quite late (9PM), but this business is based on customer experience. No matter how late it is, or how tired you are, you have to put everything aside and deliver professionally. The customers are paying for quality food and performance, they expect something top notch.
Based on tonight's performance... I would not visit again. It was my sister's boyfriend's first time visiting downtown Toronto and we wanted this dinner to be something memorable. It was definitely memorable alright, but not in a good way. It was a disappointment.
