    Its a fun dinner out. Don't come expecting it to be cheap as it's not. And the food isn't the best but it's nice! And you're there for the chefs entertainment at the end of the day

    Our chef was Hideki. Such a delicious japanese restaurant. If you wanna have a real chicken teriyaki, just order it and observe the art of japanese food in real time!

    Reasonable food but just a huge gimmick really, just cool having a chef throw the equipment around and cook your food in front of you.

    Food was good but not great. We all still had a great time, and if you get Tom as your chef, it's going to be entertaining.

    Make sure to ask the 'special menu' as it's a fraction of the cost of the normal menu. Available Sunday to Friday.

    Good fun if you have a larger group. Also dependent on your fellow eaters at the table.

    You simply can't fault the amazing taste of the food, which does its best to cover for the bitter aftertaste of the bill.

    Is a little bit overpriced and tired, but the personality of the chefs and pleasure of having food cooked at your table almost, not quite, makes up for it.

    Great food and very entertaining - not cheap if you're a student though! Our chef was a Japanese man named Tom.

    They advertise the burger with chips outside the restaurant but it's not on the menu. The vegetarian burger was not gd, fried patty, no imagination, the beef looked like for Mc'ds! Awful! Expensive

    The food show/presentation is spectacular, yet the food by itself is quite average, plain and too overpriced!

    Okay, the chef tried so hard I don't wanna say a bad word, but he did keep dropping stuff, and some of the things he did were, we'll, tacky...

    Nothing. Bland tasteless limited menu. American idea of what Japanese food is. You're paying a premium for the gimmicky chefs

    You can simply avoid. Nothing fancy; average food, very small portions and expensive for what it is.
