I had a really good meal at Ohjah. I went to the teppanyaki section of the restaurant, but they also have regular Japanese dining and a surprisingly extensive menu. Prices are very fair and we even got free small sakes upon check-in.
Together we ordered the chicken and the shrimp teppanyaki meals with fried rice for one and noodles the other. Each came with a large serving of rice/noodles, a small salad, a cup of onion soup, lots of vegetables, and 4-5oz of our desired meat. All of this (for 2) came out to about $35. The amount of food they provided, with quality at every stage, was actually very surprising. The noodles and rice were flavored well but not much going on in them. The shrimp and chicken were great. And the salad and soup, both unexpected with our order, were a nice opening course.
I really like the speed of teppanyaki restaurants where food is constantly being served upon completion with the chef entertaining as we go. I usually don't enjoy sitting with other people during my meal, but I guess that's part of the show. We had a couple of weird eating neighbors so I would recommend coming with a group (6-8) to get a full on better experience.
The servers were great. The chef was entertaining and did not disappoint in tricks and showmanship. The portions, quality, and price were all on point. Give Ohjah a go if you want some good teppanyaki. And they have a few locations across the city so seek out your closest. You might want to make a reservation or call ahead though as primetime is sometimes really full for this restaurant's live cooking section.
