   Disappointing for us first time dining at this restaurant. Appointment was at 6:30pm, waited almost an hour to be served. Our dining area and chef’s cooking areas were dirty. Chef’s cleaning clothes looks dirty, chefs trolly were not clean nor tidy too. Worst teppanyaki restaurant ever

   I mean, it's our fault. We keep going back expecting a different experience. Wait is extremely long despite having a reservation. Food is good. It's too loud. Service was ok... waitress kept getting our order wrong, charged the wrong amounts on wrong cards. I mean it's a mess.

   Took forever to seat us and took forever to find us a chef. We noticed that the managers friends’ walked in after us and immediately got seated and gave them a whole table to themselves. Unfair and the service is terrible

   I took my niece for her birthday and it was her first time going. I’ve been here many times and I know what to expect. The service was poor. We waited a long time between drinks and our soup/salad. Our chef overly seasoned our food making it unbearable to eat. She did hardly any entertainment We got our bill and then had to ask for our ice cream. No birthday song for my niece and no photo. We asked for containers 3x. I asked our server if they were under staffed and she said yes. When I walked out she was just chatting with the hostess. Overall just a bad experience.
