Really should be 2 stars for their average quality of food but an extra star is for their expanded menu (from the previous Aka Teppan menu) which now includes more appetizers and desserts.
Their entrees (sizzling plate/hotpot) are priced like Aka Teppan, and is a bit expensive for what you get. If you have a healthy appetite, there is not enough meat for a $13 pan of rice, and only a few slices of meat for their $17 hotpot. Both quality and quantity are below average, but they also offer sizzling rice cake and shake fries. Shake fries are fries they put in a paper bag and you can season the fries with your choice of seasoning (seaweed, wasabi, spicy). It's fun to try once but I may not buy a $4.99 season-your-own fries experience again. Also, I'm not sure about their other seasoning choices, but no matter how much seaweed powder i put in, the fries do not taste like seaweed. Our paper bag also ended up ripping from all the oil.
Overall, Flaming Kitchen offers an expanded menu from the predecessor Aka Teppan. The decor looks very unfinished still as the walls are still bare - this may change in the future as they are newly opened.
