| - We've been here for teppanyaki a number of times in the past, mainly in groups of 4 or more. This past evening we were celebrating an occasion, so we ordered a couple of additional dishes that we don't normally order.
For starters, we had a salad and miso soup (comes with teppanyaki), sashimi, sushi, hamachi, shrimp and vegetable tempura, and edamame. The sashimi was very good and fresh. It includes red tuna, salmon, white tuna, octopus, and some other fish I can't remember. The sushi consisted of an unagi roll, a spicy salmon roll, and a green dragon roll. They were all delicious. The hamachi was very juicy on the inside, but slightly dry on the outside. The tempura was very good as well, battered just the right amount and fried in clean oil.
For dinner, we had dinner W, which is black cod, shrimp, scallops, and steak. The dinner usually starts with the chef cooking the vegetables, which include red bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini. At the same time, they build a volcano from onions, which they light with fire and cooking oil. The main course was delicious. The shrimps were huge. The scallops were perfectly cooked. I watched the entire time they were cooking and thought that the scallops would overcook, but that wasn't the case.
At this point, the chef usually starts making the rice. I suggest going with the salmon fried rice. They usually perform an egg slicing trick and requests audience participation. The chef spins the egg and asks you to pick it up, flip it, and slice it. Tip: it's tempting to slice the egg upwards while it's in the air. Instead, let the egg fall onto the edge of your cooking utensil. The next thing the chef will do is ask someone to catch a piece of the cooked egg in their mouth. No tips here... most people catch it with their nose. The fried rice was very good.
Finally, we had the steak, which was also good, but I was stuffed at that point so I took most of the rice and steak home. But there's always room for dessert. We shared a bowl of red bean ice cream. It was very tasty.
All in all, a good meal that's both delicious and entertaining.
