    First time taking family. With a dress code clearly stated on the website, and spending around $80 per person, I didn’t expect to see little children running around the restaurant screaming and having a mixture of people in suits / fancy dresses, down to crocs/pajama pants and tank tops. The restaurant was VERY loud, I couldn’t hear the person next to me unless they leaned over and spoke loudly. The staff was wearing masks, so it was hard to hear them. Our teppanyaki chef came out and cooked the food in front of us… we were expecting a show of some sort, like you see online in the advertising. The most we got was him forming the rice he was cooking into a heart. This was nice, but kind of underwhelming. The food was very good, but for that kind of money, we won’t be going back.

    It was extremely loud and busy. The chef continued to screw up the orders and focused only on the couple at the opposite end of the table. My kids and I orders were crap!
