    パフォーマンスは◎とても楽しかったです。 ただ、最後の提供にアイスが出されて、アイスに髪の毛が入っていました。それも踏まえて伝票の参考チップが17%だったものを多少下げて記入したところ、テーブル担当の態度が急変…最後は伝票を放り投げてました。笑 味も良くて老舗なのに、チップの金額で態度を変えるなんて、酷い店ですね。

    The chef was super accommodating and friendly, the food was delicious. Probably the best teppan we’ve ever had. And the drinks were amazing.

    Overall, it's overpriced for what you get. Yes, I get it—we are in Waikiki, HI; however, this was by far the most disappointing place we dined at over the week! It was just fundamental service and food for a premium place with pricing!

    Absolutely exceptional evening. From start to finish, the dinner experience was second to none. The servers were excellent in every way. The chef’s cooking show was entertaining and the food he prepared was absolutely the best. I have recommended this outstanding restaurant to so many of my friends, and will continue to do so. Thank you Tanaka for a great evening!

    Overall, if you want a good meal and nice ambiance you go to Tanaka of Tokyo Central in the heart of Waikīkī. It is central (no pun intended) to everything on Kalākaua Ave.
