This place was sooooo yummy! LOVED the edamame you have to get it and the white peach sake. Shrimp was delicious and I liked the soup a lot. Our waiter was literally the sweetest man ever. So attentive and kind!! The bathrooms do be messy tho

Our Chef Angel did an AMAZING job!! The reason for the 3 star is. I made reservations for 7:30pm. We didn't get our drinks to almost 8:30pm and by the time the chef came out it was pretty much closing. However we still enjoyed the chef Angel and the food was great!

This is definitely more about "the show" than the food. They do the typical fire to begin, which always gets a big reaction. Then there's juggling with spatulas and 'egg rolls' which are fun for a young audience. Overall the food was good, but not memorable and you definitely pay for the show. Our server, Dennis, was incredibly attentive.

Mid experience. Not bad but not amazing. I did really like the salmon wrapped scallops. The mushroom miso soup was great. The spicy tuna roll was good for a tuna roll, nothing great. I didn't really like the chicken fried rice. The sweet green tea has a slight alcohol after taste. The strawberry lemonade is great. Tasted my friend's filet mignon. It was cooked well but kinda meh. Probably wouldn't go back there except my friend really enjoys the teppanyaki experience

Great time. Food proces too high but expected in tourist area. Staff good some others not helpful. Soup was bitter but everything else was great. Steak, shrimp, chicken. Rice with chicken was 5 bucks more and not much In There so not worth it. You can get same at another hibachi place for cheaper. Meals running 25-35 bucks.

My daughter ordered the bento box with the chicken teriyaki, and she said it was good, I got the chicken yakisoba...Delicious !! The soup was not good, to salty Customer service was very good, the place was clean

Slightly run down location, but very clean! We got there right at opening for lunch, ordered a roll and shrimp fried rice. The salmon on the roll seemed off. The shrimp in the fried rice were over cooked but the flavor was really great. Waitress was not the most attentive, but was nice. Bathrooms are very clean.

The food was mid. My steak was very good but the chicken was tough and lacked flavor. The server was terrible and had a nasty attitude. I didn’t get all my food even asking three people! Even asked the person cooking the food, he said ok and packed up then left.

My wife & me went to Tokyo Wako at the Pike Shoreline during Memorial weekend and these are my reflections. The food was adequate and the service was okay. I ordered filet minion and it was served in soup which was off putting. We barely saw our server after he delivered our entrees but when we did see him he was nice and accommodating. We spent over $200 for dinner for 2 which wasn’t worth it.

Our server and many of the servers in the room did not put on a show. We came to this restaurant for lunch on a Sunday right when they opened, around noon. We were the third table seated for Teppanyaki and were really looking forward to it since it was a small family gathering and a bit of a special occasion. A few of us hadn’t been to a Teppanyaki dinner in a long time, and one family member had never experienced it before, so we were excited to share that with them and enjoy the classic tableside cooking show. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty disappointing. The chef who cooked for us seemed uninterested and barely engaged with the table. There was almost no entertainment or showmanship — he said “volcano” once, did a very minimal onion volcano, and that was basically the extent of the performance. It felt rushed and lacking in energy. I started to get the sense it might be that kind of experience because none of the other tables around us seemed to be having much of a show either. On top of that, the overall service and attention to detail were lacking. After finishing our soups and salads, our empty plates sat in front of us for nearly 20 minutes before anyone came to clear them, which made things feel a bit neglected. The food itself was fine but didn’t make up for the dull atmosphere and lack of interaction. For a place that’s supposed to be lively and fun, the whole meal just felt flat. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a real Teppanyaki experience — it just didn’t have the energy, entertainment, or service that make this type of dining special.

Terrible. Steak was VERY over cooked, tough and inedible.!!! I'll be feeding the leftovers to my dog!! . Chicken was dry and tough!!! Chef spoke Spanish to other guests!!.The chef was not Asian and it is very RUDE RUDE RUDE MANNERS for the Chef having conversations in a foreign language in front of GUESTS!!!! If I wanted a Spanish atmosphere, I would have gone to a Mexican restaurant. Sheesh.. Then making jokes and laughing that GUESTS do not understand,, with a thick Spanish accent, I have to keep asking, what? . Could it get worse? YES!!! Then we're charged $10 for two glasses of TEA. Then charged $10 for two cups of rice. Total bill,? $140.!!!! !!!! For over cooked, tough, inedible steak, dried out chicken, and RUDE manners. STAY CLEAR of this place.

This review is for the dining area and not the toppanyaki side of the restaurant. However the restroom that is communally shared was filthy and parts of the ceiling were coming down. My wife also went to the women's restroom and told me it is unsanitary. Bear in mind this is on Mother's Day around 6pm and the restrooms were a mess. We were given disposable utensils and soy sauce packets; mind you we were dining in and not taking anything to go. We ordered the truffle edamame which didn't have any umami flavor of truffle whatsoever. My wife ordered a salmon wrapped scalloped that tasted overly sweet and like a bunch of flavors just mixed together with no contrast or acidity to wash out or balance the overbearing sweetness of the sauces. My food was a little bit better as it was simply fried but honestly feels like it shouldn't be priced at $26 but rather than $18 for that dish once I received it. Our waitress only walked by once and saw that our drinks were low and refilled them. But never came back and asked how the food came out or how we were doing or even bothered to offer dessert. I had to flag down another waitress to get our to-go boxes and the check. Also, one of the guys who is running the food was coughing very loud in the back and coming out from the kitchen walking with plates and bringing back refills and walking back out. I couldn't help but to notice he wasn't wearing a mask or gloves the entire time he was coughing. This isn't exactly the kind of experience you want when you are spending $130 on dinner for two. Again disposable utensils, lack of attentive service, filthy restrooms and subpar meals that just don't live up to their prices. I honestly can't believe this restaurant is on the pier and fails to capitalize on the real estate it's at and deliver excellent service and cuisine. P.S. I'm writing this review while sitting on the 🚽 cause to add insult to injury it upset my stomach.
