Unbelievable experience with the teppanyaki chef tonight! I forgot his name but he's been working at the place for a really long time! (+ years) Everything about this place from its decor and theming to it food and especially its chefs is just top notch! Some of the plates and interior decorations and even furniture may be a little bit older and have wear and some may even call it dated, but there is just some experience and theme with everything fitting so well into the Japanese Castle theme! They also have their own sushi restaurant area.I ordered the filet mignon and shrimp with fried rice. The salad to start was actually pretty good, It came with thousand Island dressing. It was just a standard Japanese restaurant salad. The fried rice was also really good but even if you ordered just the steamed rice you still get a little bit of sample of the fried rice. The fried rice was just absolutely amazing with butter as well as egg and its tricks beforehand. The filet mignon was very tender as well as the shrimp being cut into a very specific shape that made it very easy to cook it and also very easy to eat! There were also two different sauces depending on if it's for seafood and one for meat. Both of which were really amazing in their own right. The chef also cooked some bean sprouts too which was a nice touch.I really love the chef's own tricks such as the volcano as he moved it around like a little train as well as the straight fire that ignited the oil with such classic teppanyaki fashion! That's not to say too, that he passed down his own skills to other chefs that came after him as well!I came here for my birthday so not only was there a $ off coupon but also free ice cream with matcha and vanilla flavor. Which was very nice for that purpose!That's not to say that this place has any flaws, the wait took nearly an hour after we placed our order, mainly due to the chefs going around serving and cooking at multiple tables. Some of the reviews also complain about billing issues as well as a mandatory tip of % whether that's already justified or already planning to tip that much, just be aware.Overall, this is just an amazing experience that certainly justifies its price. It's just so unbelievable that a classic place like this can be razed for a hotel (i think it might be a Marriott but I'm not sure)... Many of the employees are very sad as well as the local community, but they say they'll do their very best until the very end next Wednesday when they close! As for the chef that served us tonight, he'll be retiring with full benefits! Everything to the theming, decorations, people, and the food! I'm glad I could try this place that I drove past a lot when I was smaller and wondered why it was so popular.Parking: During busy nights it can be difficult to find spots

In my opinion, It’s more for a cook show rather than delicacy. Food is mediocre in taste in general. The only difference between grilled chicken and spicy grilled chicken is siracha sauce in the end. So that little siracha sauce costs $+tax+tip. They have a birthday discount of $ for at least a party of four. people sitting around the cook like you are at casino. Too crowded for my liking.

Went here on Valentines eve, and had a great time. The long walk to the entrance and the front door is itself calming. This is a cozy spot, with hardly a couple of cars parked on a Tuesday mid afternoon. Asian massage parlor vibes, low lighting. Sake, soft shelled crab, sushi and the teppanyaki experience with spicy chicken and fried rice were spot on. The chef Cupertino was entertaining and fun. Make a reservation and I recommend going with your family or a group of friends. Not sure just being a couple will be as entertaining as group laughter and enjoyment of the fire show.

The food was delicious I had a get together for my daughters birthday. There was a lot of confusion with the menu and where to sit.There is not enough staff to wait on tables. We couldn't get the Birthday discount because we didn't sit at the hot table where they cook your food in front of you. Because of Covid they make the food Separate and bring it to you. I can say the quality of the food was great and delicious. FYI they add gratuity on the bill even if you split the bill.
