Nothing about this place was good... we came in, didn't have a reservation, but the front desk attendant said it would only be a 5-10 minute wait. The manager, Emily, for whatever reason, refused to seat us. She was only interesting in seating large groups of people. We ended up waiting closer to 30 minutes. The show wasn't bad but the food was not good. The fried rice tasted strange, the chicken had 0 seasoning, the veggies had no seasoning. The only thing that tasted decent was the shrimp. The drinks were also not good. I definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone. read more

Food was delicious. I definitely recommend getting the Seven-Course Prix-Fixe Teppanyaki Dinner. All of the cooking is done in front of you except for the appies (consisting of miso soup, sushi roll and salad) The service was friendly and the cook made things fun. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos because I was enjoying my time but I will definitely be back! read more

I recommend making a reservation to ensure a spot, especially on busy Saturday nights. The place is popular for its delicious and filling food, and reservations will help you avoid any wait. Will be back friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Price point is reasonable. read more

We arrived late on a Friday night, about an hour before closing, without a reservation. The restaurant was able to seat us at a hibachi table within minutes. The restaurant was clean and had only one other table seated. For drinks, our party of 4 ordered Sapporo, red sangria, sake, and strawberry daiquirI. all the drinks were good, but the daiquiri was not as frozen as we were used to. We ordered off the hibachi menu with entrees including steak, filet mignon, and chicken. The red meats were cooked perfectly and were juicy. The chicken was incredibly dry and almost inedible. Soup, salad, and veggies were what you would expect. Fried rice was mediocre. The white bang bang sauce is not the same as American yum yum sauce. read more

Food: Salad: great served with peanut drizzle Miso Soup- average, it was luke warm Onto the main event- the lack of flavour on the chicken and steak was dissapointing. Dont get me wrong, both were cook to perfection but lacked flavour especially the chicken. The rice on the other hand was delicious and full of flavour. Ambiance: Walking through the establishment as you are being escorted to your seat, you hear the excitement around you of customers in awe of the cooking production. Depending on the chef, the experience is different for each table. Our experience was average. Service: We were a large party of 10 people. We were seated fairly quickly. They bring food in order. The servers were nice and even sang happy birthday. They accommodated a last minute change. Charge $5.00 to store your cake for you Charge $5.00 to cut the cake for you. Charge an additional $5.00 /per head for Halal options. On a separate note, the washrooms were in horrid condition. read more

Hibachi Teppanyaki & Bar - Steak and Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Honestly for a lot of hibachi places, this one actually is pretty reasonably priced. Our particular chef wasn't quite as enthusiastic as I'm usually used to, but not horrible. They all send it up making a mistake with our order, but it ended up benefiting us so we weren't to upset about it. All in all, debated between 3.5 and 4 stars, but for this particular experience and ended up rounding up to 4. read more

Made a reservation for 9 people for a birthday party. We had a great time! Our chef was very skilled and the atmosphere was fun. This place gets busy, they do not seat you until your whole party has arrived. The menu is a bit confusing but the servers talk you through it.. different types of proteins to choose from.. ect. I felt bad because the table across from us didn't have a working hot table, They did not get to experience the chefs tricks and skills. I over heard the manager apologizing and giving them a complimentary dessert. That was a nice touch. Over all, I would do an early dinner as it is less crowded. After 8pm the music gets kind of loud but that is the vibe they are going for.... It's a great spot for an entertaining dinner. read more

This is a classic teppanyaki place with all the spectacle you remember. From knifework to liberal use of flames, you are guaranteed at least some entertainment.  The highlight was probably rings of onion on fire and a pissing boy putting out the flames. Some chefs are more chatty than others, the wait staff provided decent service. Foodwise: The miso soup was below average - quite weak. The salad was so so. The teppanyaki fried rice was pretty good, though it didn't have enough egg (1 egg for 2 people). The sushi was ok. The vegetables were a bit overcooked. Of the meats, the chicken was so so. The beef and shrimp were pretty good. The value if you get a Groupon is pretty good, but at full price I don't think what you get is worth the price (well, that might depend on how much you value the entertainment - rating reflects menu prices) read more

Ambience: It feels like a teenager hangout place. Music is way too loud, you will need yell for your order. Service: usher is untrained, aka rude. Server is nice and the chief is awesome. Food : Music soup - it won the most plain version I have ever tried. Was it white miso or it just need more miso paste? Main /protein part is okay but rice is on the dryer side. I have the chief choice - strip loin, shrimp and chicken combo. The striploin was done properly, shrimp and chicken are well cooked yet juicy. However, the overall management and service could kick up a (few) notch(es). We have to constantly ask for items - rice, the add on package and even items from the add on package. I wish I can give differ area different rating. read more

We are glad to find this place! One of the good Hibachi restaurants in GTA. Spacious, clean, adequately illuminated interior. Nice ambiance. Booking over the iPhone was simple. They accommodated the time we preferred for dinner. Service was excellent! The Chef was lively and showed a nice performance. Food was good. Actually I should say, it was really good considering the promo offer : Steak, Shrimp, Chicken, Fried Rice, Vegetables along with Maki Rolls, Miso Soup, House Salad, Icecream. The steak was tender, everything was delicious! Definitely in our shortlist for multiple visits. read more

Hibachi Teppanyaki & Bar - Heart made of rice - Japanese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The food and service was okay. The ambiance is cool. But the only really important thing there is making money. We hadn't been there for an hour and they were already cleaning the grill and clearing our area for the next guests. Everything was super rushed, and there was no consideration for someone celebrating their special day. They stood behind us and made us uncomfortable so we could leave and they brought checks really early on. It was absolutely ridiculous. I will not be back. read more

Absolutely appalling experience! This restaurant demonstrated blatant racism by prioritizing white customers over us, despite our earlier arrival and appointment. We were forced to wait for almost 30 minutes on the table after ordering food. To top it off, when our fried rice finished, it was clear that we received significantly less rice and vegetables than neighboring tables. The staff serving fried rice to the other customers first, they arrived much later than us and ordered later than us, they all get more than one bowl of fried rice, when it comes to us, at the end of the table, I only got a half bowl of fried rice, I was asking for napkins and sauce, the server just ignore me and ask the white customers next to us how was their food, It's disgraceful and unacceptable to be treated with such blatant discrimination, never come again! read more

The service last night was absolutely terrible. I planned a bday for 2 members in my group & from start to finish it was a horrible experience. One of the managers there was very rude. He was more "Money hungry" than "Customer Service Friendly & accommodating"! It appeared they didn't want to Sing happy birthday to the 2 bday guests. The smoke & over use of soya sauce was joking us beyond it's norm. And the food was terrible! My 3rd time at the Vaughan location & my last. The downtown is better! When my friend came by & stopped to talk to us, that same manager asked her why she was blocking the way to talk...SMH!! read more

Part 1: The Reservation Went in person to make a reservation for 3 for New Year's Eve. The host was more than polite, and cheerily took down my information. I was given a tour of the restaurant (spankin' clean and beautiful!), and I asked for a seating at Table C. Each table seats 20 for the communal live chef experience and I was excited to try this place out. Not only is it new and trending, but I have not had the teppenyaki experience before and was looking forward to it! Part 2: The Dining Experience. Sad to say, the actual dinner didn't really live up to expectation. As hub put it: Good food, poor delivery. When we arrived, the hostesses were clearly taken a bit aback by the note for our specially requested table. We didn't get it. They had to figure it out and were directed to bring us into the VIP room, which was a bit cramped, especially with the coats, purses, etc. It was obvious they weren't very experienced and hadn't been working there very long, but at least we didn't have to wait too long before being seated (elsewhere). The set up is prix fixe for the holiday and you can choose your protein for your entree. The miso soup, salad, 4 pieces of roll, fried rice and dessert (choice of mango or green tea ice cream) are set, but you can "upgrade" your vegetable fried rice to chicken fried rice, for $5. My daughter and I choose the steak with additional protein (scallops) for an additional $5. This was definitely a good move, but it highlights what a ridiculous charge the few pieces of pre-cooked little cubes of chicken for same extra $5 to the fried rice is. Would definitely not pay $5 for those little diced chicken bits again. We also had to point out when being served without them that they were for one of our orders. The live chef experience is great. His moves and mastery of the cutlery is entertaining to watch, and it's nice to see the fresh ingredients being used. We had the onion volcano display and flying utensils that rival rock star drummer moves. We had tea rather than water with our meals, and I was shocked to see that we were actually charged $3.50 each for the tea. I have never been charged for tea in all the Asian restaurants I've been to all my life. Ever. The last delivery d'oh was getting the bill settled. We had just one bill for the 3 of us, but first, they mixed up some of our dishes with another party's. Then, they still mischarged for one of our entrees, and had to reprocess it yet again. Not sure I'd come back. Definitely a lot of room for improvement in the service/delivery. read more

1st time at the restaurant and it was great! Service was excellent, atmosphere was friendly, welcoming and, interactive if you want. Went with a GroupOn voucher which was more than enough food. Food was plentiful and tasty. Highly recommend and would definitely go back. read more

If I can make a negative star rating I would. My family took me out for my birthday on Saturday February 3, 2024 for a 6pm seating that was 30 mins late to start. Our chef should have been trained to entertain us patrons as that's what we came for a show but we had no show or a personality in front of us The food was all wrong, steaks were all over cooked when we asked for medium rare and rare. And when the time came to put my lobster on my plate someone else had my piece so I ended up with a scrap piece of lobster, that's it!!! $70 dollars if rice is what I had and the rice was flavourless. No salt, no garlic, nothing to make it taste palatable. My grandson who is 15 months old is completely traumatized from the fire that came towards him from the onion tower trick. The flames went towards him and he clearly started screaming in fear. So what does the chef do again? another round of fire to really make my grandson scream in fear even louder. There was zero discretion used knowing that there was a baby at he table. I have to video of my grandson screaming from fear of the fire that we were not prepared to experience. We are never going back to this place again. For over $900 dollar dinner bill for us 8 people it wasn't worth it at all. So disappointed. Go elsewhere please and don't bring your babies. read more

Holiday teppanyaki menu: I ordered the striploin steak package ($34.99) that came with salad, miso soup, avocado/cucumber roll, stir fried veggies and ice cream. I substituted the fried rice for yakisoba noodles (additional $5) which I instantly regret after watching everyone else eat their fried rice. It's nothing special for the upgrade price. The striploin steak was so tender and vibrant red so the quality was really noticeable. Their medium rare was more on the rare side so I'd say ask them to confirm with one piece first before serving you your 8oz portion. Shrimp & vegetable tempura: comes with 3 shrimp and 3 veggies ($8.50). Small pieces and the veggies weren't really battered well and tasted like it was soaked in oil. I would avoid. Overall a good first experience. Our chef was somewhat engaging and the service was attentive. read more

Been Coming here for YEARS. Loved it so much where would come here every other weekend. Only recently the place has been letting down expectations. Their food is so inconsistent now die to change of staff. Absolutely dislike Doris the server , had her a few times and just too much attitude which wrecks my meal before even having it. The manager and ambiance is great. Hit or miss with the food and service now. read more

Came here during Valentine's Day with a reservation. We were seated quickly even though we came a bit early (10min) The server we had was super slow at everything and forgot a lot of thing... My boyfriend waited for his beer for 20 minutes, which never came and we had to ask her again. Then, when it came time to pay, we were in a rush because we had a movie to go to, but they had not brought the ice cream (which we didn't care for anyways) and we had to ask three times for the bill, which one server said "you'll get it when the entire table does.." I think it was just a one off server that was slow because a table that got seated AFTER us got their ice cream, paid and got out before we even got the bill... read more

Good food and entertaining too Love going here we always leave very full. Hope to go back one night this week. read more

Food is amazing, was waiting a while for the chef, but will definitely visit again. Our server was kind and energetic. didn't like the miso soup - might just be personal preference... but the steak, chicken & shrimp was so flavourful. def recommend. read more

Hibachi Teppanyaki & Bar - shrimp steak & chicken - Japanese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Food was terrible. I personally got the chefs choice chicken was super dry and some pieces were burnt. The chef asked me my preference for the steak (medium, well done, medium rare etc.) I said medium rare and what I got was a mixture of well done medium and rare lol. The best part of the meal was the rice not even the performance the chef put on. I think the younger chefs who care do a better performance aside from that it was terrible. read more

Purchased a Groupon which included a set for two, but fed our family of four! There were two of each: teppanyaki of veggies, chicken, beef, shrimp (and complementary sauces) + fried rice + salad + Miso soup and then one set of spicy salmon (6 pcs). Teppanyaki is usually enjoyed via dine-in, especially for the experience of it all, but due to COVID, we decided to have it for takeout. Of course expectations had to be lowered because we knew things would not taste as they did in shop, but honestly, the food was delicious! Everything was very flavorful + requesting a medium-well beef was perfect. Out of the three proteins, the chicken was a little on the drier side but other than that, so good. Portions were also really good + generous... I mean, the fact that it fed our family of four says it all! We aren't small eaters either. read more

Came here using a groupon for a 7 course food tasting menu. I was able to make a reservation the night before with no problem. We came here on a Saturday night, was pretty packed by the time we finished eating. Everything was pretty good, food portion was perfect. Not too much and just enough to satisfy my tummy. Sadly they're not licensed so we weren't able to grab a beer or wine with our meal but overall experience was good! Easy to find and also lots of parking! read more

Came here on our anniversary and so glad we decided on this place. Everything we had was very tasty and flavourful. The portions were just right. We opted for the pick 2 option and upgraded to the fried rice instead of white rice. I ordered filet mignon and scallops and my husband had sirloin and chicken. Also because they just opened they were offering 25% off. We would definitely come again. The atmosphere was great and we had chef MoMo who was excellent and entertaining. read more

The table area we were seated was freezing and we had to ask multiple times to adjust the heating. This was extremely disappointing and made guests very uncomfortable. The service was very slow we reserved for 8pm and didn't leave until 11:30pm. The celebration package was missing cheesecake and a photo. The steak I ordered was overcooked, I asked for medium well and it was well done. The service staff forgot a lot of items our group requested. We will not return to this restaurant. read more

I was given some gift cards last year so finally decided to give this place a whirl. We went during lunch and it was pretty empty. At the teppanyaki table, I ordered the chicken, salmon and scallops and my daughter had the shrimp tempura and then the chicken with chicken fried rice. The chef was friendly but being that there were only 5 of us at the table, our enthusiasm prolly wasn't that evident. First came the veggies and rice and then the meats and scallops. It was all tasty and while it really didn't stand out from other establishments offering the same product, it didn't fare any worse. I'll go back and maybe try some other fare since I only used half of my gift cards lol. Overall, a good lunchtime show and good food. read more

We booked a luncheon for 20. They had a private room for your knowledge. They offered it to us when we arrived however I was not made aware of it when bookings. They were very accommodating and helped us organize the separate billing. We all had Teppan-Yaki. The food was fresh and the quality was good. Everyone enjoyed the food. The only complaint I heard was that everyone wished the delicious rice servings were larger. They were a bit on the small side. Price was reasonable for the quality. I went when they just opened up. I would definitely give it another taste! read more

I've always wanted to go to a place like this and I'm so glad I did it was so fun .seeing them cook infront of you was so entertaining The food was very delicious as well cooked perfectly way it should be seasoned perfectly well. I kmew I had to go back again a second time and I did few weeks later for my girlfriend birthday the guy that was cooking for us was really nice and had a lot of energy and kept the conversation going as he was cooking which was cool that's definitely customer service right there. He also wished my gf a happy birthday which was nice of him to do. We then got more entertainment with before our desert they played the drums and sang happy birthday to my gf which was really cool because most places just but not this place they really know how to treat you on your birthday. Definitely can't wait to go again one day. read more

Wow!!! At first I thought I wouldn't be leaving a positive review, I'm being honest here. But what I needed to understand was that when you're at a hibachi restaurant you need to be patient. Lesson learned. I came here today (Jan 17, 2020) for my daughters 14th birthday. There was a total of 8 people and we phoned a week ahead and made a reservation, the night before they sent me a text to confirm my reservations. They were VERY accommodating as we had a shrimp allergy as well as 2 kids that for religious reasons don't eat beef. They were very aware and by they I mean at least 4 employees. For that I'm thankful. We got the group rate A and that was MORE than enough for us. The food was fresh and amazing the servers, chef, and other employees did a great job! For sure would recommend and return in the future. read more

I went here the other night for what I thought would be a regular dining experience with my Girlfriend. Unfortunately this restaurant chooses not to store their food & condiments in proper conditions. Which lead me to getting Food Poisoning, I've been puking for about 48hrs. To say the least I will not be returning. read more

This was my first time visiting and I have to say the food was excellent. I would make a couple of suggestions. 1. Offer refills on soft drinks. I was surprised when the server said you have to pay for a second one. For the mount of money it costs the owner for the drinks I am sure you could offer refills. 2. Don't nickel and dime people. I didn't like on the Teppanyaki menu that you need to add extra $$ for upgraded food. Example is the menu comes with steamed rice but if you want fried it costs more. That seems to be silly. There are also upgrades that cost $1, $2, or $3 more in addition to the entree cost. That is nickel and diming people. read more

In terms of the teppanyaki experience you can't go wrong. The chefs are engaging and entertaining for adults and children alike. When I went they were still obtaining a liquor license and were giving a discount accordingly which was much appreciated! The meat and fish were extremely fresh and the steak and chicken were very tender as well. However where I do take issue are the huge up charges for things like a tea or a side of anything other than plain white rice. I have never been to a teppanyaki that charges up to $5 for vegetable fried rice on the side? The prices for the proteins in general are not on the cheap end to begin with so I don't know why they are gouging you on a decent side. With teppanyaki locations a dime a dozen in vaughan they're going to need to put themselves ahead of the rest! read more

Food was mediocre at best!!....NO FLAVOR at all. Will definitely not be returning!!!!!!
