| - I'm a huge fan of Japanese STYLE Teppanyaki grills. OK, so this one is not your traditional "chop chop" restaurant where they cook it in front of you. But the result is just the same. DELICIOUS. Recently discovered this place as our original destination was the American Roadside Grill (see my review on that place). It's right next door on Church street.
First and foremost. This is mainly a LUNCH place. I believe they serve dinner, but it is crazy crowded for lunch. And after dining here, I know why. Their food is quite simply DELICIOUS. Oops...I used that word again. But it applies!
First time I had the steak and scallop combo. When I got it, I thought that this is as good as most full service Teppanyaki grills, and trust me, I've been to MANY in my lifetime....throughout North America! Flavor profiles are great. And the food portions are LARGE, at least for the combos. Not cheap (~$12) but WORTH it. Bear these things in mind if you order a combo....
Second time I had the lunch special. More reasonable size and only $8, and that included a spring roll (delicious too) and a drink!
They call it "Shrimp Sauce," most call it "Yum Yum" sauce. It's that very yummy pink stuff that they serve at Teppanyaki grills.I don't know exacctly what's in it, but it would make shoe leather taste good! Seems EVERONE love it. I sure do!
The Watiers are very attentive, and willing to get you whatever you need. Of course they're pineing for tips, but hey, they need to make a living too. And they were very nice!
All in all, I LOVE this place! My workmates do too. Oh, it DOES get VERY crowded around lunch time, so best time to go is BEFORE 11:30 AM, IF you can.
Please bear in mind that my review is only for the Teppanyaki grill stuff....NOT the Sushi. I have not yet had that, so my 5 Stars is for the grilled food. Just wanted to make that clear.
By far the best Asian GRILL place in Uptown!
