    Food & service was excellent. Unfortunately our chef wasn't that entertaining. He didn't do much except cook. Half of the experience was the chef show & that was disappointing.

    Our family had a wonderful dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. The food was delicious; there are lots of options, the service was very attentive. The bonus was they took nice family photos and shared them with us. Our chef provided amazing food and great entertainment. Highly recommend.

    Our chef “Kalvin” from Hong Kong was great, he’s found his calling! Wait staff, server was great & attentive too. Great experience after hard time finding which elevator/escalator would get us there… Mahalo

    I always enjoy my visits to Tanaka of Tokyo. No matter which branch I visit, the quality and the service are superb. I did notice a steep price increase since I had been there in July, possibly due to the tariffs and what not, but we still had a great night and enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!

    We were on a cruise that wasn’t scheduled to leave until late and we wanted to do something different than the restaurants on the ship. Being big fans of teppanyaki we found Tanaka and booked on OT. Arrived on time and were promptly seated at a table. Nick, our server brought us water and sake and took our order. Shortly thereafter Cameron, our chef, started our dinner. He was a lot of fun and made the evening enjoyable. As always, there was a lot of food and it was all delicious. The sauces that accompanied the meal were great, but on the salty side. The restaurant is lively and the meal moved along at a good pace. Dessert of ice cream was a nice way to finish. We are so glad we decided to venture out. Tanaka has a few locations, but if you are in the A La Moana Center definitely enjoy a meal there. RECOMMENDED!

    Rather go to the central location. This place is crowded and really loud

    Dear Julie, Thank you for dining with us. We were delighted to see that your rated the Food with 5-stars, Service 4-stars, and Value 5-stars, but our team is totally disheartened by the 1-star Overall rating and Ambience. We sincerely appreciate your patronage at our multiple locations, and understand how busy our restaurants can get especially at 7:30pm on a Friday night when you dined. I will send you a private message shortly. Sincerely, Hiroshi

    The tables are old and the veneer in the wood is worn. The cook was entertaining but the prices were excessive, even for Honolulu and the food was average.
