Okay so my husband booked this place for my birthday . My first teppanyaki (hope I spelled that right) experience!My first impression was decent place, not too much decoration they had 2 station for live cooking. Hosts were nice!While we were waiting we ordered the combo for two special with the lobster(they were quite small ) , shrimp (very good size) , beef steak and chicken .We were started off with miso soup and salad (omg I loved the salad)!My son had chicken wings very hot and fresh ! It came with a yummy sauce!My niece ordered the chicken on skewers that was good too!It took a while for our cook to come had to wait abt 20-25min maybe he was taking a break but he understood we were hungry and started off with the fried rice it was very flavourful and no complaint we liked it!Then came the vegetables , and seafood and lastly steak! All split 4 ways!Hosts were good , the chef talked less but the fire part was fun for the kids !You get to take the left overs home and it was so yummy the next day too!Overall great first experience! Loved the food! Seasoning on point! Maybe next time I will order diff items! Cheaper to order in and sit but if u want the experience you have to pay a bit more!If the food wasn’t good I would have definitely regretted paying too much ! Also tips are included with the bill!But highly recommend to try it out!Kid-friendliness: They have chicken wing options and simple items for kids didn’t check if they had fries but maybe better for kids older than 6.

We went here for lunch and it was delicious! The prices are reasonable, the lunch box portions are great and the sushi tastes so fresh.

Food was good quality but too salty and the service and atmosphere could be better. There was zero interaction from the chef, which is the whole point of teppanyaki, and the server didn't seem interested in in being there. Unfortunately, I don't think I would return.

Made a reservation for 6 ppl for 3pmFor a birthday and extremely disappointed as we drove an hour to get to the Villa. The chef did not interact with us nor do the usual cooking tableEntertainment. He simply said hello & how do you like your steak. I also ordered separately yam rice rolls which were cold (most places it’s warm yam tempera they use). We also had the waitress ask us to all order the same fried rice (plain or beef) as it would be easier. When we watched the chef make the fried rice and simply add the beef after it was made, we questioned why she asked us all to order the same.Overall a very poor experience when they weren’t even busy. It’s like they didn’t care. We experienced better cooking tables and entertainment in Mexican resorts then at this place.

Food and service have always been their priority. Pleasantly greeted and attended to while waiting for the rest of the group. Food was fast, tasty, great temperature, and fresh.

Very underwhelming teppanaki experience. There was no "show.' The chef just cooked the food, and did not engage the guests or do any special tricks. Very boring experience.The food was salty despite requesting less salt. Everything was cooked with the same seasoning and sauces so everything tasted the same. The salad and miso soup was better than other restaurants.

Do not waste your money coming here for Teppanyaki. There was no interaction from the chef whatsoever. No fire, no tricks, no "dancing" with the knives, no acknowledgement from the chef that we were at the table other than putting food on our plates. The food was overly salty and small in portion. Due to the size of our group there was an automatic 15% tip added to our bill. Overall the experience was very disappointing, you would have a better experience watching someone cook at the Thai Express in the mall in my opinion.
