Best little restaurant in town! 7/16/2007

19 years ago, I was asked out by a tall, handsome man and he took me to Arigato's for the first time. We have been married for 18 years now and we visit Arigato's once a month. My children get to choose any restaurant to eat out at their birthday's and Arigato's is always the first choice! We even have a favorite cook! Ted was the cook we had on our first date and every now and then, he will be our cook when we return. We visit Arigato's at least once a month now. The setting is wonderful, the food is awesome and the service can not be beat! We have never, in 19 years, had a bad meal at Arigato's. We enjoy the fun of seeing the new innovative things that the cooks do from making a volcanco out of an onion to the great foil animals for your take home (which is my kid's favorite part). When we take guests out to dinner or business partners, we love to entertain them at Arigato's. The atmosphere at Arigato's is wonderful. When you leave, we are always full, we are always smiling and we know that you got everything and more for what you paid for! My only wish is that they will build one in Pasco County as long as Ted can come and cook for me there! more

My Kids are ALWAYS happy while at Arigato's... 7/16/2007

Since I moved to Clearwater 22 years ago, I have been a regular to the Clearwater location. Imagine my excitement when they moved closer to me in Countryside! I average a visit to Arigato's once a month at least, and couldn't be a happier customer. Knowing their regular servers and chefs also adds to my experience. They have been there not only with great food and fun, but also that touch of encouragement throughout my years of life. I started going there when I went to school at Palm Harbor Middle School. For my 8th Grade Dance, my friends and I went there for dinner. Then during my high school and after, I went there with both friends, and boyfriends for a fun night out on the town. Then through my two pregnancies, and craving... Now my husband and I go with our two young children who are entertained throughout our meal... Which any parent knows, that is a blessing in itself! I truly enjoy my meal every time I visit and so does everyone I go there with... It makes Family Night Out that much more enjoyable, when the kids are happy!!! Thanks Arigato's for making my memories so much fun!!! Pros: Everyone always has fun, eats good and leaves happy... more

Best Japanese Food around 7/16/2007

Arigato Japanese Steak House has the best japanese food around. I have tried other places and I can never find one I like as much as Arigato. My boyfriend and I go there at least once a month if not more. They put on a great show at the table while cooking the food and the food is always amazing. Everyone there is so helpful always trying to make your visit more enjoyable. It's also great for families because the kids love to see the onion volcano. more

Consistency! Bring the kids and their friends too. 7/16/2007

You always know you will get excellent quality service [personal chef, your server, and others to wait on your group] and the kids love the fire, the food tossing, crazy cooking techniques, and the ""to-go"" boxes... [if you haven't been here before, just make sure you leave something on your plate to wrap up]. Oh, and this is real cute...when its time for your personal chef to ""clean up"" he'll threaten to give you some ""yucky-yucky sauce"" he's just created. The kids love it!. Oh, don't forget, if you are celebrating a speical occasion-- the cake is fabulous. Its amazing how many anniversaries I have in one year! :) I've been coming to Arigato [Countryside and Tampa] since 1985... again: CONSISTENCY rules. more

Dinner Entertainment at its BEST! 7/16/2007

Arigato in Clearwater is a fantastic place to gather with friends and family for any occasion. I love the food and especially the Yummy Yummy and Goodie Goodie Sauce! Everyone in the restaurant tries hard to make your experience enjoyable. Don't be in a rush and take your time and enjoy the meal. Pros: Entertainment ratio to Food! Cons: Not a fast dinner. Plan to take your time. more

Great food, great time 7/6/2006

Arigato Japanese Steakhouse has something for everyones palate, whether you are in the mood for a juicy flavorful steak, teriyaki chicken, sauteed scallops/shrimp/lobster, or even just vegetables. I do not know of anyone who has ever left still felling hungry. All guests receive soup, salad, fried rice, and vegetables in addition to your large entree portion. You not only get great tasting food, you also get a show along with it. The chefs entertain and cook right at the table, which the kids love. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just going out to dinner with the family or that special someone, Arigato will certainly satisfy, but be weary of substitutes. Pros: Great food with entertainment along the way. Cons: Gets busy on the weekends, make reservations - ask for an end seat. more

YUMMY-YUMMY 11/18/2003

I have always been a huge fan of Teppanyaki style Japaneese Restuarants. I have dined at better ones than Arigato but have been to MUCH worse ones too. I find it funny how many ethnic restaurants have recently tried to ""Westernize"" the taste of their cusines. (Sometimes the names of them too) Example: At most all Teppanyaki restaurants, each guest is served a Ginger sauce and a Mustard sauce for dipping and such. Well...at Arigato, the mustard sauce had a hint of southwestern ranch dressing and the Ginger was nowhere near the taste of authentic Japaneese Cusine. It was called ""YUMMY YUMMY Sauce"" too. So Westernized? Pros: Atmosphere, Great Menu more
