| - I've ate here on 3 different occasions. A week ago, a year ago, and 3/4 years ago.
First time I came here, it was very busy during dinner hours. The decor looks the same now as it did then. The main thing I remember was having lobster sashimi for the first time and it was amazing. I love lobster and was worried about it tasting bad being uncooked, but i was quite impressed.
Second time I came, my friend was working there as a server. It wasn't very busy. He got us the chef who he said was the best chef working there. He was an older man who spoke mandarin. He did do a few tricks, but I guess it's usually the younger guys who like to show off, entertain, and impress. However, his cooking was great. Delicious food. Even complimented me saying how I knew how to eat my steaks; Rare, as oppose to the rest of the table whom ordered medium and medium rare.
Third and most recent time I was there, we requested the Filipino chef. I apologize ahead of time for not remembering his name, but when we requested the Filipino chef they knew who we were talking about. He was very involved with our group and you could tell he enjoyed doing his job. Put on a great show and cooked us an even greater meal. My nephew who is almost 6 said it was his new favourite place to eat. The chef knew how to entertain the 6 year old and even my 85 year old grandpa who is not easily impressed.
Our group got a combo dinner. It was a special that requires a group of 8, everyone got a few maki/sushi rolls, a bowl of salad, miso soup, fried rice, a shrimp, a scallop, chicken, mixed veggies, salmon and steak.
There were a few hiccups though. The servers, although really don't have to do much because the chef does everything, needed to come by more frequently to top of our tea cups, water, and other beverages. For dessert, I got the mango pudding, and noticed it tasted funny. A tad sour, the milk they used may have gone bad. My uncle agreed and we asked for ice cream instead and they were very compliant about it.
Overall, I guess if you know what you want. You'll have a good experience there. I plan on bringing my friend there for his birthday. He has never gone to a teppanyaki place and I think he'd enjoy it. Needless to say, I will be requesting for the Filipino chef again.
