I think I see why they will be permanently closing the end of Feb. The service was friendly and competent but the food was only average. The fried rice was particularly weak compared to other teppanyaki restaurants we've visited. BTW, the tram makes more stops than the boat so pay attention to where you get off.

The Teppan Chef should learn how to cook better at somewhere good reputation or recruit one who has a good reputation. It is still excellent amenity. Unless you serve quality food, I am very afraid of losing popularity. I am Japanese but my American friends feel same concern.

We did have trouble with the bill as one of combination dinners was charged incorrectly and we had to have a manager intervene to fix it. She was, however, very courteous, saw the problem and resolved it very graciously. The wine and drinks were also over-priced as compared to other local establishments.

Not only was it extremely overpriced (avg $65 per person for hibachi )with a poor decor but we were eight minutes late and were told our hibachi seats were given away. They told us to wait for the next available table. One hour later they tried to squeeze us into the corners of another table. It was very uncomfortable and our children were very upset and embarrassed by the whole experience. By then we were starving and just left. A restaurant that expensive should have a nicer ambiance and be more accommodating.

We were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time, and we had to wait standing in the bar. I think this delay probably explains why our group was then rushed through dinner, with the busboys attempting multiple times to clear dishes from which we were still eating. That should not happen for a dinner at this price point (49$ for the chicken option). On the plus side, the chef did an excellent job and our meal tasted delicious.

                                                                                                                        Is this helpful?
