Highlight: If you're looking for a fun show to accompany your meal, this tepanyaki-style Japanese restaurant is a great choice. The servers were helpful, and of course chef was entertaining and a bit of a jokester too.
We started off with the sushi sampling plate as an appetizer, which had 5 pieces of nigiri sushi (shrimp, tuna, salmon, snapper, and artificial crab). At $11 it was on the pricier side, but it actually very tasty and piqued our appetite for the upcoming meal. Along with the appetizer we were served an onion soup with mushrooms and spring onions that was quite flavourful in comparison to the miso soups that Japanese restaurants usually serve.
The whole cooking "show" itself was only about 10-15 minutes, relatively short, so I'm not going to give up any "spoilers" of the routine. Just go see for yourself. The food itself was pretty good, I liked the egg fried rice and my teriyaki ribeye steak was incredibly tender, but everything else was pretty much cheap filler veggies like bean sprouts and zucchini. The chef also poured us two dipping sauces, a ginger soy/teriyaki sauce and a wasabi mustardy type mix that my boyfriend loved.
At ~$15 a plate depending on what type of meat you choose, and an extra $5 just for a bowl of fried rice, it definitely isn't a value meal. If you haven't been to a tepanyaki place before, I recommend giving it a go, just for the experience. Consider bringing friends along to make a full table of 8, it seems like one of those experiences where the more really is the merrier.
