I know Hana Japan has had some terrible reviews, but we went there because they give a $23.95 credit for a birthday dinner and I wanted to have some teppanyaki. My daughter and I brought her three children (6, 4 and 2). The two older girls seemed to enjoy both the food and the "entertainment." I thought the food was... More

The closet Benihana's is in Concord. This is the next best thing to it. Simple, easy, and very close to home.

This restaurant was really in bag shape. My family and I went to eat at this restaurant the other night. They had water all over the floor in the back and I over heard the staff say that this happens quite frequently. I saw some food drop and get put back on a tray. The chef we had burned my... More

With that said, it’s a very popular, casual, and reasonably priced eatery with the style of Benihana. The waitresses... More

Service was great. Even though it did take a while for the food to be prepared, i was already expecting it so it wasn't that bad of a wait with my friends. Would come here again!

This restaurant is hands down the worst value in the entire tri valley. Incredibly low grade meat, incredibly poor management and staff and a disgusting dead animal smell in the lobby of the restaurant. All for the price of upwards 40 dollars a head. The food is neither authentically Japanese, nor does it attempt to be anything more than mediocre.... More
