| - Alright, to be fair, this place probably warrants 3 stars but I have to give it 1.
Let's recap the evening...
Great location, you can easily spot it from Eglinton and Tomken with their giant sized sign. Parking is a bit tight but there are plenty of it if you are willing to walk...
They have 2 sections of the restaurant, one with regular tables and then the cooking or "Teppanyaki" tables where there's a U shape around a flat steel grill.
The orders were taken pretty quickly (and as many reviews have stated, you are very much rushed along). We got our beverages and starters... I had the chicken yakitori. It was good. Grilled nicely and it wasn't heavily sauced, which I appreciated.
For the entree, I had the scallops with fried rice. The entree comes with salad, miso soup (which was quite good but again very standard) along with veggies. The fried rice does cost extra, otherwise you would get plain steamed rice.
The volcano onions was pretty neat but our chef was not the greatest... His egg roll and balancing egg tricks were sorely lacking and quite frankly, he dropped the egg in this first try then abandoned the show for the second egg all together...
So, why the 1 star Li... WHY? Well, I think it has to do with hygiene. Before the chef started and slightly at the beginning of his song and dance, he was on his phone and didn't wash his hands after. The food is placed on plastic trays (the one you find in food courts) and then dumped on the grill...
Finally, I leave with this... I now have the cleanest colon on this side of the world. I know, TMI but you've been warned.
