Teppanyaki on Norwegian Escape was one of the best Japanese steakhouses I have experienced, with…read moresome novel tricks displayed by the grill master and including the biggest shrimp I have been served to date on a teppanyaki grill. All aspects of the meal and courses served were very professionally handled, prepared, and presented, from ordering drinks to receiving dessert. The dining room itself is composed of 8 grills that each seat 12, so 96 diners can be served simultaneously, in set seatings. Grill masters wear colorful red hats which at first glance I mistook for Santa caps. Our grill master, like the one at an adjacent grill, was very amiable and animated, and seemed to truly enjoy his job. We began with edamame and hot and thirst-quenching Miso Soup with dashi, tofu, and wakame, quickly followed by a Seaweed Salad with tasty Ginger Dressing. Then a huge portion of Garlic Fried Rice was prepared for 11 diners (only Diane opted for Steamed Rice, which accommodation was graciously granted). To the expressed amusement of all who saw it, my party observed a neighboring grill master attempt to flick an egg into his hat with a metal spatula but loft it too high, so it got stuck instead in the metal hooded vent directly overhead. This was like deja vu for me, because I observed the same result with a different grill master while cruising on the Norwegian Epic 6 years earlier--except with a grilled shrimp instead of an egg. Both grillers reacted to the misadventures good-naturedly, After another unbroken egg was capably propelled by a metal spatula into the top of our grill master's hat, and another uncooked egg was repeatedly hit up into the air like a loose paddle ball until it was speared on the edge of the spatula to crack the egg and drip its contents onto the grill below, a plastic chicken with moving hot feet suddenly appeared on the grill while at least six more eggs were cracked near it. Next, after the fried eggs were fully cooked, they were rolled together to take on the shape of an open-mouthed cobra that was poised to strike with the help of a fork deftly operated by the grill master. Then White Onion, squash, zucchini, and carrots were cooked and chopped on the grill just before proteins including raw Filet Mignon, Jumbo Shrimp, chicken breast, and large scallops were eased onto the hot grill for grilling. The hunks of medium-rare Filet I ordered were buttery and delicious, as were the shrimp, veggies, and Garlic Fried Rice. Separately poured sauces for the meat and seafood enhanced the enjoyment of the meal, as did two extra portions of Garlic Fried Rice that I was given. Diane's request for Teriyaki Sauce was cheerfully granted, and I was also supplied with two cups of hot Green Tea. Dessert was a choice of Green Tea Cake or Fresh Fruit Sashimi. I sampled the former, and found it to be a bit dry; but was greatly pleased with the latter, which included well-trimmed pieces of cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, and kiwi served with Coconut & Mango Dipping Sauces. Best of all, the per diner charge for the specialty dining meal just described was only $30.00 plus gratuity, a great deal by any measure!

We kicked things off with the miso soup, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I could've had a bowl (or two) all by itself! let's not forget about the salad! And baby... you cannot eat that salad without drenching it in their ginger dressing. Chef's kiss! For our meals, we ordered the hibachi shrimp and steak with fried rice, and I went with the hibachi chicken with fried rice. One of my favorite parts about hibachi is the experience, and this chef had the entire table laughing from beginning to end. The food was great, but the entertainment made it even better. Because really... who doesn't love dinner and a show? To wash it all down, we ordered an Old Fashioned and a fruity sake cocktail (I wish I could remember the name because it was so good! ). The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, the service was quick, and it wasn't crowded, which was definitely a plus. The prices were also very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Overall, if you're looking for delicious hibachi, great service, and a fun dining experience while you're in Florida, I'd definitely recommend giving Japan Inn a try!

The trash and environment outside of the venue is distracting ... Im a native born and raised and knew what to anticipate but still it was disappointing. If you are willing to overlook that aspect, it is a unique experience and I would recommend you try it. I cant say enough good things about chef and his beautiful lady.

We came here to celebrate my fiancée's birthday with a party of six. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, yet it took about 30 minutes just to receive our drinks and over an hour before the chef even started cooking. The entire dinner lasted more than three hours. The service was the biggest disappointment. Our server was largely absent throughout the evening, and at one point we had to go directly to the bar to order additional drinks because we couldn't find her. When we finally tried to place a to-go order, we were told the kitchen had already closed. Had someone come back to our table in a reasonable amount of time, we would have placed that order much earlier. The seating arrangement was also uncomfortable. Although I understand Benihana combines parties, our group of six was squeezed in with two additional guests to the point that one person was practically hanging off the edge of the table near the cooking area. For a birthday celebration, it felt crowded and awkward. The most frustrating moment involved the birthday reward. When it initially couldn't be located by phone number, the manager's response was essentially that there was nothing she could do and that we would need to contact corporate. Fortunately, another employee stepped in and found the reward using the account number within moments. I appreciated that employee's willingness to help, but the manager's dismissive attitude left a poor impression. As for the food, my steak was overcooked and the overall quality didn't justify the price point. For what we spent, I honestly would have expected a much better experience. I've enjoyed Benihana in the past, which makes this visit even more disappointing. Unfortunately, between the service, seating, food quality, and management response, this was not the birthday dinner we had hoped for.
