| - I really wanted to like this place because my friends love it. I'd never had teppanyaki before, and I'm not huge on sushi, so it was going to be an interesting time--it was definitely a show! That and being there with friends were the only highlights, though.
Going in I knew the price point, which struck me as pretty typical for teppan, but the mushroom soup that was provided was more salty than anything else. The salad was fresh enough, though the dressing wasn't my favorite, but the meat wasn't very good quality at all. It wasn't the worst I've ever had--it was tender and cooked decently, but even after the chef seasoned it, it didn't have much flavor at all, and the fried rice had almost no veggies in it. I split an entree, but even if I hadn't, the portions were really small. If I'm honest, I could have paid less and gotten better-quality meat at Gen in Tempe.
Obviously something like teppanyaki has to have a bit of a show with it, with banter and stuff with the chef, but making a racist remark to my boyfriend doesn't exactly qualify as humor, especially when it's at his expense. We were both pretty ready to go when that happened. I don't think we'll be going back.
