    We had an absolutely amazing experience at Tanaka of Tokyo! From start to finish, Alex and Micah went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Their attentive service and friendly demeanor added a personal touch that made us feel truly welcomed. The food quality was exceptional—each bite was a perfect balance of fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared ingredients. Whether it was the perfectly seared steak or the melt-in-your-mouth seafood, every dish was a highlight. The ambiance was equally impressive, combining a fun and engaging atmosphere with the theatrical flair of the teppanyaki experience. The chefs’ entertaining skills and energy kept everyone at the table smiling and engaged. We can confidently say this won’t be the last time we dine here. Thank you, Tanaka of Tokyo, for such a memorable meal. We can’t wait to come back!

    When you go to a restaurant like this you are getting “dinner and a show.” The food will be of good quality and the staff is highly trained to be accommodating and efficient. Tanaka does not disappoint.
