text: Wow I cannot believe this place has stars I was not impressed at ALL I came here for a bday dinner for a friend and the place was already chosen or else I would have suggested someplace different It does not look very inviting nnWe were there on a Thurs night around and were ushered into the back where the teppan tables are For one our table was right next to the kitchen door which was distracting and it was not busy so we could have been seated elsewhere The atmosphere was shabby maybe it was because of where we were seated other parts of the restaurant looked like they may have been nicer not very warm or upkept It seemed like it had been a while since they decorated Just kind of shabby nnAnyway we ordered some drinks then three of the four of us ordered meals from the teppandinner menu and the fourth ordered from the sushi menu Our drinks came at a decent time except for one of my friends who later actually had to remind the waiter about it turns out the waiter forgot Speaking of the waiter he was a very nice man but he kept butting into our conversations I think it was his way of giving good customer service but it got a little awkward after a while when he kept adding little tidbits and comments to what we were saying nnWe actually had some friends that would be joining us later in the evening but the waiter made sure to tell us that the chef only cooked at the teppan once per table That is understandable My friend who ordered from the sushi menu got his food before the tepan chef even came out for our orders which I thought was a little uncoordinated Again it was not busy at all There was only one other teppan table with people and they were on dessert nnOur chef comes out of no where He is not pushing a cart because the cart has been sitting by our table the entire time as if they had just left it after the last presentation I get that it may be more convenient but cmon It looks bad and also does not imply freshness He did bring the meats and main ingredients out fresh the cart had the sauces and butter and stuff So our chef comes out does not introduce himself or anything just starts cooking I have been to a teppanstyle restaurant before that does this presentation but for my friend who had not he did not even know there was going to be a show He just thought the guy was cooking in front of us nnOur chef while nice was nervous and messed up about every tricks that he did I was kind of embarrassed for him but I know he did his best To be honest though because of his lack of being personable it was kind of awkward to sit there and have a conversation while this guy is just doing random tricks at the table It was not engaging enough for us to actually pay attention to him Osaka did not deliver on this experience at ALL The worst part was that this guys manager I assume was watching the whole time which was even making us uncomfortablennThe food was just okay Nothing I remember and honestly better Japanese food can be found elsewhere for much much cheaper After we finished eating we were hanging around waiting for our other friends to show up and it took them a long time to clear our plates The chef came out about a half hour after we finished eating to clean the teppan did not say a word again nnLuckily we had a gift card so we did not end up paying much after it was applied because I would have regretted spending anymore than I did It is way overpriced for what you get it may have been a different story if we actually got the experience we were hoping for It is cheaper than Benihana but it is NOT worth the discount If you want a great teppandining experience splurge and go to Benihana Everything there is miles better Do not bother with this place if you are going for that
