| - I think this spot is a little overhyped, but i also had the worse hostess experience ever here. Arrived at 8:03pm for our 8pm reservation and were told the party before was taking awhile on desserts - poor seating planning in my mind. Then after 15 minutes, we asked the same hostess what's taking so long still and she said she would speak to her manager. Another 15 minutes passed and haven't seen her call or speak to a single manager.. she just stood at her counter picking up calls and looking at her computer screen. Others in my party of 5 got frustrated and asked again what was taking so long and she said she will ask her manager, again. Finally, we just found another hostess to ask. We decided to take the regular seating when we initially booked for teppanyaki. Even ordering a beer at the bar took my friend 15 minutes, which was a little ridiculous how slow and poor service is. After being seated we ordered appetizers and still tried to make our teppanyaki seating happen. Finally, we were approached by another worker saying the seats are opened for teppanyaki. We moved our seats and sat around a grill that had extra 5 seatings and the table next to us had another extra 5 seatings...which super disappointed us that we couldn't have been seated in these seats earlier. I would've given this spot 2 stars based on our first hour here, but the wonderful waitress and bus-person for our table were super friendly and accommodating. Our chef was also super friendly and welcoming. This reminds me lots of Benihana but the food tasted a bit better. We had a few appetizers, drinks, first 3 teppanyaki sets to share and dessert.
- Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño: too much sauce that covered the actual taste of the fish. Sauce was a little too salty for me.
- Lobster & Tuna mini tacos: this was just a one-bite and it came with two of each so it wasn't enough for the group. I had some of the tuna and thought it was ok, the taco skins were too thick, would've been nicer thinner to not mask the original flavor of the fish.
- Mixed seafood ceviche: this was yummy with so many options inside with a good amount of citrus so it doesn't overpower.
- Whitefish on chips: forgot the name of this order since my coworker ordered it. The presentation was beautiful! But the orange sauce above my fish was too much yet again.
- Lychee, Mango mocktail: delicious! Would totally order again.
- Shishito pepper: always a yummy choice!
- Edamame: always a good choice for starters too & perfect amount of sea salt on top.
- Tuna tartare: literally one small spoon bite per person - wish portions were better for larger groups.
- Salmon & Tuna sashimi with lettuce wrapped in daikon: not bad, fresh fish.
- Black Cod Miso: This is what they're known for & it's definitely as good as people say. Definitely order this!
As for the rest of the meal, it was in the first 3 Teppanyaki sets. Portions were small, but we were left filled because of all the stuff we ordered. My favorite of all these dishes is the A5 Wagyu & steak - cooked to soft perfection & melts in your mouth! The sauces were also yummy, especially the truffle one :p For desserts, we ended with the chocolate lava cake that my boss loved, and I loved the green tea ice cream paired with it. The ice cream mochis were also delicious! Overall, hostess service sucked and it ruined a lot of the experience, but the waitress for our table was awesome, food was ok - small portions & a bit overpriced, but won't be returning.
