Meal: dinner
My thoughts:
My family and I came here for
a joint birthday celebration for my sister and I. This is what we ordered
below:
Takoyaki ($6.95): fried breaded squid balls.
Ja Jung Myun ($9.95): noodles with black bean sauce.
Steak teppanyaki ($24.95): 10
oz N.Y. strip loin.
Sukiyaki teppanyaki ($19.95): 8 oz marinated rib eye in special
sauce.
Yakiniku teppanyaki ($19.95): 8 oz thin sliced Black
Angus strip loin with teriyaki sauce.
Choice of three teppanyaki ($29.95): chicken,
shrimp and scallop.
If you have never had a teppanyaki meal, what it basically
entails is a chef cooks your food in front of you on a flat iron grill. Asides
from preparing and cooking the food, chefs usually also create some form of
entertainment. A popular one is stacking several rings of onion and lighting
the whole thing on fire to create the illusion of a moving volcano.
Anyway, I didn't bother taking pictures of the teppanyaki dishes
because we all shared the food and it was difficult to differentiate between
the different cuts of beef.
Overall, the food was pretty good. Each teppanyaki meal comes
with the standard miso soup, a salad and a bowl of rice. I highly recommend
upgrading the rice to fried rice for an extra $2.50. I didn't care too
much for the takoyakis. They were somewhat lacking in flavour. The noodles were
tasty but were lukewarm.
Although a bit pricey and the disappointing takoyakis, I think
this restaurant's is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. It is fun
and interactive. I just wouldn't recommend purchasing a voucher for this place.
Apparently, there is a lot of unwritten fine print with using vouchers here,
which did put a bit of a damper on our evening, especially given the fact that
we were celebrating two people's birthdays.
