    We had an amazing family dinner at Hatsuhana on our last night at Sea World resort. At the time, it wasn't available but in our booking, we asked for the Teppanyaki table if one opened up and then a few days before, we got a call saying it was available, so we took it! It was a great surprise for the family, as they’ve never seen anything like it. There was a nice variety of options for kids, those who don’t eat sea food and those who wanted to try traditional Japanese cuisine. The staff are all amazing and very attentive and they really looked after the kids to make sure everyone was having a good time. Price wise, it’s what you would expect at a resort hotel but portions were large and no one left hungry. The restaurant is opened from Wed-Sunday and I would say, try it, even if your family has never tried Japanese food before, because there will be something for everyone to try, and the experience is delightful and memorable!
