Did not get to experience the teppanyaki because of the long wait, so we chose traditional dining on the other side because we were almost hangry. It was not as entertaining, but the food was still great. Enjoyed our server, never felt neglected. He was...Read More

We enjoyed a delicious teppanyaki dinner. The food was well seasoned (garlic is one of the primary ingredients and lots of “flying” butter) and not overly salted. We sampled a wide area of proteins, all cooked to perfection. It was also an enjoyable departure...Read More

3.5/5. Avoid “regular dine in” option: ordering a 10 oz centre cut sirloin and receiving what appears to be a noticeable amount less despite accounting for ‘cooking shrinkage.’ Lots of noodles (decent) and rice (also decent) though. Krab Rangoon: avoid. Disappointment. Nail in the coffin:...Read More
