| - A couple gfs have their birthdays around the same time so they decided to celebrate at Japanese Village. They called in ahead of time as it was for a larger party (20 ppl) and they were easily able to get a reservation. Dinner was for 6:45pm so parking is free on the streets. There is also covered parking right across the street for a small fee. One thing to note is that they don't seat anyone until your whole party arrives - which is understandable. Our whole party fit perfectly around two grills where all the action happened.
We were handed menus and they took our drink orders while we browsed the small menu. There's a handful of typical Japanese starters (tempura, karrage,oysters, edamame), and then complete dinners which include steak options, seafood (salmon, shrimp) and chicken and combinations. Most of us got steak and shrimp. For those of you who aren't familiar with how Japanese Village works, you order and they put on a little show and cook it right in front of your eyes. All the complete dinners come with soup (similar to egg drop) and a side salad to start, then they bring out some sauces depending what you order, in our case we got steak sauce and shrimp sauce, and a side or rice. **Confession time, this is my first time visiting Japanese Village** everyone was telling me that I HAD to mix the steak sauce with the rice...so I did and it was super tasty. They then put on their show, playing with the utensils while the grill heats up, throwing them in the air, behind them and what not, they show us a Japanese volcano where they pile sliced onions on top of each and light it on fire - I get excited about little things so I was pretty amazed, lots of oohs and ahhhs were coming from my direction. They put the protein on the grill first because we all had different preferences and then cooked up some vegetables which were tasty. Apparently, they use to have a lot of mushrooms in the vegetables but there wasn't much..still good though! They handed our food straight from the grill so it was piping hot which is awesome, vegetables were well seasoned, steak was cooked to my liking and the shrimp and 'yumyum' sauce was a little salty but all super tasty. Overall, lots of food to chow on and it all ends with a scoop of either vanilla, green tea or orange sorbet to hit the sweet spot.
Our chefs made jokes, sang songs and was really great entertainment! We all seem to enjoy our experience and the food was good. Japanese Village is a great place for couples that want something different, kid/adult birthday parties or even getting a whole group of friends together for an entertaining dinner experience but it's not a place you would visit frequently because I would imagine it would get repetitive. I'd say prices are reasonable, only because you get a show and the food served right to your plate. You can tell they work fast because it's a busy place so turnaround time seems fast but not GTFO fast, we were able to enjoy the show and food.
