    I love this restaurant. The food is high quality. The chefs are amazing. The service could use a little work. Our server seemed overwhelmed. Also I think the price of cocktails are high. For example their martini was $17 and it didn’t taste like it had more than an ounce of vodka.

    パフォーマンスを楽しみながらの食事であれば、おすすめです。歓声があがり、賑やかな食事にはなります。 お味は上を求めればキリがありませんが、パフォーマンス重視と考えれば許容レベルだと思います。

    初めて食べに行きましたが、料理はとても美味しかったですし、ショー的なパフォーマンスも面白かったです。 ただ、店名からもう少し日本語が話せるスタッフが居るのかと期待してしまったので、その点は今後に期待ですね。

    We absolutely loved our food and our experience at Tanaka. Our chef was engaging and recommended us some great spots around the island! Good quality food for the price and great drinks, would definitely go back next time we’re here.

    I am a very frequent customer here. I would very much trust this review as I am a person very familiar with what to expect here. My friend was visiting from the mainland and I decided to bring her here. We got the very last reservation at 9 PM. I am very understanding that it is late and acknowledge that people want to go home. However I was a little upset because the dinner was extremely rushed. I also wrote about it on the customer service card because I respect that they hand out after every meal to every party. The service overall was amazing. Our server was really good however, I felt that he was forced to rush and that the cook also rushed the food so it made it a little harder to process the food in between courses and to really sit back and relax, our chef knew that we had been there a bunch of times before, but I felt that he was not very entertaining and not very genuine. What we loved about coming to this place is that we always got to talk to the chef and always had great exchanges. We however, did not have that this time. I hope that does not speak for all chefs there however it would make the experience more memorable.
