| - We asked our 15 year old where he wanted to go for his Birthday Dinner and he said a Japanese Steakhouse. We've been to both Nakato and Kabuto and both are good, but Nakato stands out a bit more for us so that's what we decided on. We arrived at 5pm on a Sunday night and didn't expect much of a wait so imagine our surprise when the waiting area was full and they said it was a 45 minute wait. Oh well, it was what it was AND it was my son's bday so we waiting...and waited....and waited. Finally, after 50 long minutes, they called our name.
We were seated in the "traditional" teppanyaki room and that was a first for us. We loved it! It was a bit awkward to get into, but worth it.
I've been trying to watch my weight so instead of the massive feeding frenzy of the traditional hibachi meal,. I had a bowl of the Onion Soup, a side of Edammame and the Tuna Tataki appetizer (portion was entree-sized!). All of it was very good! My family had the steak and chicken hibachi meals and loved it all. My son especially loves the "Yum Yum" sauce (the pink sauce) and has me convinced that he would eat "anything" if he could dip it in Yum Yum sauce!
We opted for the $10.00 birthday package. The package included a birthday cake (Pepperidge Farms vanilla cake) with a candle, a family photo in a souvenir cardboard frame (came out awesome, BTW), and the waitstaff sang Happy Birthday in English and Japanese. Well worth the $10, in my opinion!
