| - I've been here once, and only to the teppanyaki area. There are options to order teppanyaki a-la-carte, or a prix fixe menu. The prix fixe menu starts from $68 and upwards to $110 (per person). On sundays, there is the combination prix fixe special for $35. Note: there are only 2 prix fixe dinners, if it isn't sunday.
I had the combination platter at $35, and surely, it was decent. This is the restaurant of the Westin Hotel, and obviously can't be terrible. Keeping that in mind, I figure the whole point of a teppanyaki was the show. The special things that chefs should do to make the experience unique and creative. As the other reviewer said, they are "pros" at juggling their salt and pepper mills. Aside from that, not much more. I was a little disappointed in the showmanship. The chefs were really nice and friendly, but for the lowly $68 prix fix dinner, it's not worth it. I've been to other teppanyaki places where the chefs do neat things with all their cooking utensils to show off their skills. such as, balancing an egg on the tip of their spatula, or dishing out food right into the mouth of a willing audience member, etc. I'd have to give a thumbs down for their showmanship.
Foodwise, the quality of the meats and vegetables were unmistakably top grade, and cooked well.
p.s. you need to pay for parking, with a $2 discount off your bill when you provide the ticket stub.
