| - The uniqueness of Japanese Village provides a challenge to review it.
I remember my first visit I was in stitches at the jokes told by the chefs, but now find them incredibly stale.
I enjoy the portions though as you get an amazing amount of food for the price you pay. The fact that you get soup, rice, a great helping of veggies, a main, shrimp AND dessert is awesome. The steak is always great and like many many people mention... the steak sauce is to DIE for. I don't know what it is, but this is the stuff that will keep you going back again and again. Try putting it on the rice that comes with your meal.
Previous reviews express concern with feeling rushed due to turnaround times, but I've never felt rushed while eating at Japanese Village. The staff and managment has always been very nice to me. It's very low lighting in JV, so watch out when you come outside if it's still light out.
I do have a concern in terms of tipping. It's not clear if your tipping your chef or if your tipping your server. The servers here don't do near as much work as a server at another restaurant. I'd rather give the chef my tip.
People who are familar with the Benihana chain will recognize the teppanyaki style, but it's a certainly bare bones basic version of a Benihana and it has no sushi. I don't know why but other Japanese Villages in Canada do have sushi. I don't eat sushi, but I noticed.
Overall, you'll have a not bad time and you'll leave with a full belly.
