| - *** to bad you can't give a restaurant 3.5 ***
Went to the Iron Chef (love the name & the show) with a group of friends to just chill, chat and have a good time. Iron Chef has two kinds of dinning - one is the restaurant and the other is on the teppanyaki table.
The iron chef has many trained chefs that do a lot of cool tricks on the teppanyaki table - if you have been to other teppanyaki style restaurants than you know what I am talking about - most of the tricks are fairly standard, flipping and spinning knives, setting things on fire and throwing food into people's mouths! Though I think what makes the whole experience exciting is the actual chef .. the chef who cooked for us was witty, funny and very chatty. Not sure what his name is, but when you walk into the restaurant his picture is on the pull up banner...
getting back to the food, the food is your typical Japanese food with fish, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, - most meals come with soup, salad, and your choice of rice (steamed / fried) - i went with the steamed but after watching him make the fried rice .. i wish i had chosen the fried rice lol .. **one thing to note - is that this place has very few veggie options (it is a steak house) ...
Other than that the place was not bad, the service from the waiters was a little slow - but i;ll let it pass :P
Also, we tried the appetizers - they were "okay" - the dumplings weren't good and a little over done, and the sushi was okay .. not their specialty i guess
overall i recommend this place if you have a big group and want a little entertainment too!
