The experience is always nice, they just need to change the show part. I came for Mother’s Day so a month later I watched the same show. But our chef was nice and kept a conversation that included everyone. Food was good but it took quite some time to get everything started. Reservation was a 6:30, we got seated at 7 and the cooking started at 7:30. It was super slow. Overall we all liked the food.

I had a wonderful experience at this establishment, thanks to the exceptional service from both the host and the chef who prepared our meals. It was my first visit, and it truly left a lasting impression. The food was excellent, from the appetizers to the drinks.

Don’t let the reviews keep you from giving this place a try — Hana Japan is definitely worth it! I was a little hesitant at first after reading some of the reviews, but I’m so glad I went. The food was really good — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. From start to finish, it did not disappoint. The chef put on a fun and engaging show, and the servers were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout the entire experience. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, perfect for a fun night out with friends or family. Everyone at our table had a great time. I left full and happy, and I know I’ll be coming back again. If you’re looking for a teppanyaki experience with great food and great service, I highly recommend giving Hana Japan a chance. It exceeded my expectations!
