    予約をして伺いました。 店内は沢山の観光客のお客様がいらしてました。また、あちこちでバースデーソングをスタッフの方が歌われており、地元の方々も特別な日に来られてるようです。目の前の鉄板でパフォーマンスしながら調理して下さり、大変楽しく美味しくいただきました。 またカメラスタッフがおり、ポーズを変えながら数枚写真撮影。1枚$20です。記念にと思われる方は購入されると良いと思います。

    hostess was having a horrible day and rude and condescending. perhaps she should have stayed home instead of being the first point of contact. server was a good dude and tried hard but could tell he wasn't getting it. bar was backed up and it took over 15 minutes for 4 drinks. chef was ok. he tried. he burned the scallops to the point where it was blackened char on one side. he went crazy with the shoyu on the lobster. he completely forgot the cook the steak for a guy in the other party. manager comes in after the meal and says, how was it. Well, for 500 bucks, it sure felt like a rip off. Ive been here over 30 times over the years and honestly, this was the worse. absolute worse. This place needs some help. Better training from the top down. The point is everyone was ok. This isn't famous for legendary service like the Shangri La or Ritz-Carlton and never will be. The food isn't famous for being amazing. But remembering that if guests are paying $100/hear average based on our bill, you would hope they at least try and do better than a fast casual F&B.

    I always have a great time when I visit this Tanaka location. Our chef Joe was great and made things so fun, the food was delicious and the mango Mai tai was very good. Anything on the menu will be cooked to your liking!!!!

    We had a great experience! Our server was attentive and chef was so personable (Ka-ki or Kevin I think was their name). They did so much to make my daughter’s 8th birthday so memorable. Would 1000% go back!

    Tonia (I think that’s how you spell her name) and Matt are an awesome duo. Staff was on point. We will definitely be back again.
