For those of you who have not been to a Japanese Steakhouse, you sit at tables/grills of eight people. So if you are a group smaller than that you sit with others who you may or may not know. A chef comes out and makes your food in front of your eyes throwing knifes and eggs and other food with various levels of skill. This should be great, you get a show, the food is made right in front of you so it should be fresh and cooked to perfection. The show will vary from chef to chef, the food may vary as well, but the food that we had was not all that good for the price. My scallops were done well I can not complain. The salad of iceberg lettuce was not even worth the effort to eat. Then there was this dipping sauce, which I am not sure what it was made of, but everyone at the table, all who apparently frequent this establishment, could not get enough of it and raved and raved about how good it was. But I personally did not understand the attraction it tasted like a mayo/shrimp cocktail combo that should never had been made.
In summary, you may want to go just to see for yourself what goes on in a Japanese Steakhouse, but don't expect Japanese or steakhouse type of food.
