| - I was out with my husband on a Monday night for dinner and a movie. We were both craving some teppanyaki cooking and this place was conveniently near the movie theater. It was early in the evening so not busy at all when we arrived. Service was okay, nothing super exceptional, probably a 6 out of 10. The hostess seated us at the grill table promptly. The server was also prompt in taking our orders. Got a shrimp tempura roll as an appetizer. Really good! We were then served the soup and salad that come with the teppan entries. Just okay. The soup is a clear broth, maybe miso? The salad is dressed with a teryaki-like dressing. We quickly polished those off and waited a bit for the 'cooking show'. If you frequent teppanyaki places, you know that you usually have to wait for awhile to see if the rest of the grill seats will fill up with customers before the chef comes out. We didn't have to wait long, even though only 2 other people showed up at the table. The chef was okay. I get the feeling that they put the newly trained chefs out on slower nights...but he did a fine job. I ordered steak and scallops. Hubby ordered steak and chicken. We both agreed the scallops and chicken were the best meats of the meal. I'll likely choose another meat instead of steak next time. We also both LOVE that pink sauce that comes on the side. So good!
Other things to note: It is DARK in there and fashioned to be a tad upscale. I would not recommend it for young children, though they do offer a children's menu (consisting of kid portions of choice of meat, rice, and veggie). Also, if you think the chef did a good job and gave you a nice show, then I suggest tipping at least a buck or two per person in your party. They are entertainers as well as cooks, after all, and work on a very HOT stage!
