    We had to wait 40 minutes for our table to be ready after our 8:30pm reservation. The management was unapologetic and not sympathetic to our hungry and tired family with an already late reservation time.

    30回以上利用しています。 年末の予約はいつものようにオーバーブッキングなんだろうなと仕方なく待ちました。 しかし、着席後、今回ほど飲み物を待たされた事はありません。 料理人のパフォーマンスはこの頃の人と違ってとても楽しくて良かったです。

    Food very salty despite asking the chef to put less salt and soy sauce. Fried rice is so salty that it is inedible.

    We had a 7:30 reservation, not seated until almost 8pm, very slow service & no food for almost another hour. We should have had our food before 1 & 1/2 hrs of our reservation, we didn’t, so we left. Also, I asked to speak to a manager & waited another 5+ min - no mgr. So, we left.

    Our chef had a mask on . 80% of the Teppanyaki experience is the interaction with your chef. Nobody could hear him! Bad experience

    Very expensive for what we got. Waiter was great and helpful. However, I cook was not interested in really putting on a show. For the price of the food, just disappointing. Probably won’t come return.

    ハワイに行く度に行ってしまうお店です。パフォーマンスはこちらのお店ならではで毎回楽しみにしていますが、今回担当の方はちょっと大人しい方だったので少し残念でした（他のテーブルの盛り上がりが聴こえてしまいますので） 日本語の話せるスタッフが細かくオーダーを聞いてくれるので、日本人でも安心して来店できます。 誕生日だと話したらローソクを立ててスタッフの皆さんで歌を歌ってくれ最高でした！ またハワイに行く時は行きます。
