Made a reservation for 7 pm and showed up on tine, they seated the whole table at one time which makes sense - we ordered drinks, had some soup & edame and I what ordered was the fillet mignon and lobster with garlic fried rice. I was seated at a table with three other couples (two of them on their honeymoon one couple from Japan and one couple from Boston), The other couple were very nice and they were from San Francisco and being by myself was kind of awkward but all the other couples were engaging and we all had great conversations about what everybody's been doing on their vacation so it was kind of nice and we all kind a got to know each other. Love the entertainment at the tappinaki table by our chef, he was really funny and the show was very well done and the food was absolutely delicious so a little entertaining, a little dinner, good company - fantastic night ! read more

This was a fun and interesting adventure and something we normally wouldn't do in Hawaii, we went to a teppanyaki restaurant. Surprisingly, it was fun and tasty. We made a reservation at 7pm and got there a few minutes past. We sat down at a table set for 8 people and wound up with a couple from Germany and that was it, just the four of us. There was a long transition from taking our order to getting our food. Once the food was brought out to start cooking things moved along pretty quickly. We did the prix fixe started with the standard miso soup, but it was really too hot to enjoy. A couple of sips and we were done. Next up was the mushrooms, zucchini, onions and asparagus. All delicious!!!! After that was the rice that was loaded with all the goodies including egg, onions and of course bacon. We then ordered the filet and lobster. It was a good size portion for both. The filet was oh so tender (mr) and the lobster was cooked to perfection. The dessert was a very very very sweet tropical sorbet. I tried a taste or too but it really wasn't for me. It was a fun meal and we really enjoyed dining with the German couple. We will be back again for sure. read more

We're been seated for 30 min and still don't have drinks! Update: food has lots of tasty butter and our chef was very fun. I've also had the whole vase of luke-warm sake now. Don't get the rib eye you'll be chewing on gristle all night. read more

Teppan-Yaki Dan - Giant insect as our dining companion. - Teppanyaki Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Better than any current teppanyaki place in Southern California. Very prompt and courteous service from the entire staff. We had at minimum 4 people that came by to check on us. And the show was a typical teppanyaki show. But our chef, Joshua was very personable. (And it turns out that our chef, Joshua Michael and our son Michael Joshua have the same birthday. Hilarious.) We had the Filet/lobster combo and fried rice. Wife had a made to order tofu dish. And the kids had pineapple chicken and teriyaki chicken dishes. All were great. And the amount of food you get is ample. Although the prices are a little high...you will certainly pay more elsewhere. (Tip: if you are an SPG member, let them know. You'll get 20% off). Be sure to book a reservation. It was great way to spend New Years Eve. We will Be back read more

Amazing service! Out guy was super funny and the food was awesome. I'm vegan and they were super accommodating. read more

Expensive yes, it is a resort so expected. Food awesome, giant chef "da man", awesome. Great atmosphere, great food, great chef. Paid bout 125 for two inc. tip w no drinks. Most places are expensive on Maui unless you totally get away from resorts and resort towns which we do, but wanted to try this place. Glad we did. read more

I wish I could say this flagship restaurant at the Sheraton was anything other than ordinary. Unfortunately it was pretty much like every other Benihana style teppanyaki restaurant with even higher prices. My group took the shuttle bus over from the Westin and walked around the desolate first level of the Sheraton for about ten minutes before coming across the first human we saw. We learned that many people do not know where the restaurant in the hotel is, including the ladies who work in the gift shops at the hotel - not a good sign! It would behoove this restaurant to give directions to people when they call to make their reservation or have the concierge relay the important directions/instructions to guests arriving for dinner in the dark! The initial confusion aside, once we were seated with 6 other people, everything's was fine. The chef was a funny guy with good utensil throwing skills. He only dropped something once - and then went and got a clean one to cook with! The food was good, but again, nothing spectacular. The fried rice they are famous for was really buttery - tasty, but not the best in my opinion. I had the scallops - a good portion, and fresh! And the mushrooms/onions/veggie combo was yummy. Two of the members of my group had vouchers from a timeshare presentation they went to, so that's how we ended up at this place to begin with. The ambiance of the place was dated and nothing fancy. Without the voucher I don't think I would have chosen to come here in the first place to pay the $$$$ price tag. read more

Our travel agent recommended this place, so we thought we would try it out. We were not staying at the resort, so was very diffIcult to find. You have to park in the parking garage and pay for parkinng just to go eat there. Very nice restaurant, but the food is nothing to write home about. It was all very bland and we have had much better. Our chef was very nice, but spent the entire time visiting with everyone and there was no entertainment. Based on the quality of food, the cost of the meal (make sure to read the menu as they ask if a choice of white rice or fried rice with meaL but forget to tell you that fried rice is $8 extra) and the cost to pay for parking, this restaurant is not a high recommendation from us. The service was good and that is what earned the extra star. read more

Our group enjoys Teppanyaki so we made an 8:30pm reservation for 4 at this place while in Maui. The restaurant is very small and located downstairs in a corner at the Sheraton. The place was basically run by three people...a hostess, a waiter/bus boy/maintenance, and the chef. Initially we were seated at a large table that had two grills. There was a family of 5 on one side and our group of 4 on the other side. Immediately after being seated, my sister in law had water dripping on her from the ceiling. There was a large A/C vent directly above our seating area that was dripping tons of water. The entire floor below us was also wet. The waiter/bus boy mopped up the water on the floor and the ceiling using a long stick with a bar towel taped to the end (this must happen often). Even though there were other empty grills/tables, we were still expected to sit here because of the size of the two parties and only one chef. When the chef began cooking and performing his show, he was only working on the far side grill. I went to complain and the hostess was gone and there was no one to even go complain too. I complained to the chef and he said he would cook the meat in front of us. Eventually the chef cooked the steak and chicken in front of our party, but cooked all other items like veggies, fried rice, and seafood were cooked on the other grill. It should also be noted that I ordered the large Asahi beer and they serve it with a Champaign bucket of ice to keep it cold. The waiter guy, while trying to poor my beer for me accidentally dropped ice from the bucket on my glass. He apologized and acknowledged it but then just walked off. As if I was okay with ice in my beer, let alone ice from a dirty bucket. It was only half a glass so I just poured the beer out in the bucket and refilled myself. The only reason for two stars is I felt the chef did the best he could with the situation and the food was okay....it's also a very nice hotel/resort. read more

I've no idea why this is rated so high for Teppanyaki on Maui. The whole experience was disappointing and overly expensive for what we received. We made a reservation then received a call from the restaurant warning us that if we were even slightly late they'd cancel it. We've never experienced an actively hostile confirmation of reservation before. We arrived on time and it turns out "reception" area is an open-air hallway lined with the cloth-draped steam table for the next day's buffet. The hostess came OUT of the restaurant and told us to sit in the few scattered chairs meant for the indoor/outdoor hotel hall. Once inside, the server taking drink and food orders was weirdly over-jocular. We try to eat teppanyaki on each vacation just for fun, and this behavior was quite strange. Our chef was fine, but completely burned the bacon added to the fried rice, rendering it nearly inedible. Incongruously, the filet mignon cut was much more flavorful than the rib eye. Usually the filet is more tender and the rib eye more tasty. In this case not only was the rib eye short on flavor, it hadn't been properly trimmed so it was full of sinewy connective tissue. We also had shrimp and scallops, both of which were tasty. The typical teppanyaki "performance," like the onion volcano, etc., was fairly standard and rote, though well meaning. We heard other tables being forced to cheer and yell "Aloha!" so at least we were spared that. But there was nothing special about our chef except the volcano bit was enhanced by extra "lava" flames. Usually I don't bother to write reviews, but the high rating for this restaurant seems impossible because it really disappointed in all facets: from reception, check-in, ordering, performance and food. read more

Visited this place one night while on vacation and we were very pleased with our meal! Our chef, Josh, was probably our favorite part of the night - he was pretty funny and very charming. We were seated with 3 other couples, some of whom were pretty picky about their ingredients (like no onion and "plain fried rice" whatever that means), but the chef was very accommodating. It's a pricey meal, but I really liked the chicken and especially liked the fried rice (I recommend you upgrade your plain rice for this - it's worth it!). The restaurant itself wasn't spectacular, and was pretty hard to find. We called the hotel to ask where it was located and the person on the phone said "do you see any staff around you that you could ask?" WHAT?! read more

Teppan-Yaki Dan - Chicken Terriyaki and fried rice. Yum! - Teppanyaki Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Disappointed! 8pm reservations to celebrate a birthday. Seated late. They apologized for the delay. I observed only 2 chefs (on a Saturday night). The place was smokey and I considered dining elsewhere. I made the mistake of staying. Drinks took about 22 minutes to arrive 25 minutes after that the chef shows up. He was slightly entertaining and a bit silly. The usual teppanyaki chit chat but boy was I missing Kobe on Dickenson Street in Lahaina. The veggies were extremely salty. Inedible for me. The shrimp and pineapple was not cooked!!!! Raw shrimp!!!! I added it to the grill myself to cook longer. My son ate elsewhere to compensate. The rib eye was over cooked and not seasoned. They offer a 25% kamaaina discount. However dropping over $200 for a meal that left my party of 5 unsatisfied is rediculous. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Go elsewhere. Attempted the survey printed on the receipt and it doesnt work. read more

Braddah Ed Lat is the best cook ever! He was funny, entertaining and most of all his food was AH MAY ZING! Teppan-Yaki Dan is definitely the best hibachi style dinner on the island it makes Kobe look like mc Donald's the ambiance is so beautiful! It feels like your walking in a home in Tokyo. Thank you for the wonderful night and giving us one of the best nights of our lives. read more

Food was good. Chef was friendly and nice. The staff kind and polite. Overall expensive and the wait was not OK. After showing up early we waited until 30 minutes after our reservation time to be seated, then we waited approximately 30 more minutes to see the chef. Not OK. read more

Enjoyed the food & entertainment. I would have given it 5 stars but it's a bit pricey, our filets were cooked well done & was almost inedible because of it & they had only 1 chef on a Saturday night. Because they had one 1 chef, it was a long wait from the time we got seated to the time he started cooking. I will still eat here again at our next stay here at the Sheraton read more

You have to go here if you are in lahaina maui. Amazing experience with the chef and amazing food. Inside hotel not hard to find

If I could give this place a quarter star, I would. I made a reservation over a month ago (see photo) and upon arrival to Maui, I called to confirm (see 2nd photo) and also to inform the restaurant of a food allergy in our party. We arrived to the restaurant on time and were told we didn't have a reservation. I showed the email to the hostess and said that I had called to confirm a couple of days prio to the reservation, only to be told that they do not honor Yelp reservations anymore. I asked to speak to a manager, who said that the restaurant was full and we couldn't be accommodated. Nice way to start an evening with our family, eh? read more

After eating local Hawaiian food for several days in Maui, friends from Cali suggest to hop over the nearby Sheraton to try out Dan Teppan Yaki. Since the chef used to work for Teppan Yaki restaurants in Oahu before, signature tricks such as "the flaming volcano" and catch-the-shrimp tail-with-my-hat all reappeared before our eyes. Filet Mignon, Scallop, catch of the day monchong fish, fried rice all are nicely done by the chef. What sets this place apart from Oahu's Teppan restaurants is its cozy ambience. Located inside a secluded hotel, it minimize the tourist crowd, made it an unusually quiet place to enjoy an otherwise entertaining teppan yaki dinner. read more

This is my second 1-star rating during my Yelp tenure, and I would give it a zero if I could. Forgive me for not holding back: 1. Made a reservation. 2. Showed up for said reservation. 3. Told to wait. 4. And wait. 5. And wait. 6. Told we were no longer booked at this restaurant. We could eat at Black Rock, the other hotel restaurant. Explained we were (unfortunately) entertaining guests who wanted teppan yaki. Told we were in the wrong. We made the wrong reservation. (Really? How many teppan yaki restaurants at this hotel?) 7. Told we were never 'guaranteed' a spot this restaurant. 8. Others in waiting area were equally perturbed. 9. $60 per person. Really? Really?! For hot top stir fry? Shrimp or beef or chicken of no particular origin or grade...3 oz lobster; frozen of no certain origin. Shrimp - farm raised from...Indonesia or the upper middle Indo-franco-china peninsula. Great. 10. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK. NEVER. read more

Last minute reservation and I'm so glad we decided on this. Our chef Brad? Was amazing we not only got dinner and a show but his sense of humor was awesome we got a comedy show as well! Food was amazing and service was just as good no complaints at all. read more

All three of us enjoyed it. Fried rice, the filet steak, lobster were all great! Our cook was awesome and entertaining. He was funny and very engaging. We left very stuffed. It is spendy, but most our meals in Maui are! I'd definitely go back! read more

The filet mignon was tender and delicious, however the scallops combo didn't really work and isn't recommended. Vegetarians not well catered for with Tofu the only option. The 'show' was a bit underwhelming, with only a single course being prepared with Teppan-Yaki flair. read more

In gerenal I think the food on Maui is pretty eh, especially for the price. Teppan-Yaki Dan's is a rare and wonderful exception. Teppan-Yaki has been one of, if not, my favorite kinds of food since I was a little kid, so you might say I'm a bit of a teppan-yaki afficiando. This place literally has the best t-y I've ever had. Usually t-y is good bc of the flavor from the cooking method, the dipping sauces, the show etc etc, but often times everything is a little over cooked. Our chef, Josh, cooked everything perfectly and made it taste wonderful. We all agreed it was amazing, probably the best meal of the week. read more

Went to Teppanyaki Dan last week for our company staff Xmas dinner. We had Braddah Pit as our Chef. He was very funny and kept us entertained throughout our dinner. Waitstaff was very attentive. To me it's the best teppanyaki food I had here on Maui. Go to teppanyaki dan and request for braddah pit as your chef. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food was really good. While preparing we were asked if we want fried rice, it's extra. We said yes we want fried rice. It was $9 per person! Food was good but not good enough to charge $9 for a little bowl of fried rice on top of $59 for my dinner! I will not be back. read more

We were staying at the hotel and couldn't decide were to eat so we went downstairs and talked to the hostess. She looked wary as we didn't have a reservation but se said she would check. They were able to take us in a few minutes. We got our own private table. This place is good for groups. The chef was great and very entertaining. The waiter could care less about us and we had to bother him to get our drinks refilled more then once. It is a lot of food. I got the combo chicken/filet. It was delicious. Way too much food between the soup. veggies and meat. There is not much of an atmosphere, just a few tables. If you are looking to eat outside eat at the other restaurant Black Rock. read more

Not sure why there are all the bad reviews. I was really not excited about eating here - I can't stand eating at touristy hotel restaurants for all the reasons you hate them. I expected hokey "entertainment," silly table mates, and horrific food at a terrible price. Ok, so some of that was true, but the food was quite a bit better than I expected from the other reviews. The fried rice that is $9 was split 3 ways between our party and was easily worth the $3/piece upgrade. It's not the buttery mess everyone else in the reviews seemed to be complaining about. Got the steak and shrimp and both were better than I expected (not fantastic or anything, but maybe the low expectations from the other reviews set the bar to a point where I would only be pleasantly surprised). Table mates weren't what I'd have hand-picked, but what can you do - it's a hotel restaurant in Maui. We got what we signed up for. Our "chef" (cook?) was funny without being a total jerk or hack. We talked football, weather, growing up in Hawaii, etc without it feeling forced. Dinner, tax, and tip came in under $200 for a family of three who didn't hold back on ordering. If you're staying at the Sheraton and don't feel like leaving the grounds tonight, this will certainly suffice. For the people that want to compare this to a Benihana - really? You were hoping this was MORE like a ridiculous chain of mall parking lot food for suburban masses? read more

Over all impressive, gotta love the smoking volcano trick. Our Chef was very low key and focused on the cooking more than the show. Four couples seated around the grill all had very favorable comments. The filet was cooked to perfection. Excellent score on all food prep, veggies were some of the best I have had in a long time. Pay careful attention at ordering, it's easy to get "upgraded on the fried rice, $8 per bowl...and a bowl feeds about 35 to 40 people. It's a pricey evening to be sure, but again, for the most part you are captive on the Island...when you factor in the price of the show, food and sitting with unknown guests...it's a good value read more

Outstanding service and great food. We booked a last-minute reservation at Teppanyaki Dan last night due to everything being closed for the hurricane and we are glad we did. The chef Joseph as awesome and foot was amazing. Teppanyaki Dan is by far better than benihana's. Thanks Joseph for the great experience read more

Thank you Ednor and stuff for the wonderful service! It was really entertaining and the food was amazing. The fried rice was my favourite:)

Although a small dining area, Dan Teppan Yaki is the best you'll find in West Maui. Great food with a show making your meal including the flaming volcano. Just a bit pricey like similar places, I got filet and chicken for 34 or so. read more

Good quality food nice cook No show! 8 people 600 plus with no cocktails Don't mind dropping coin but was just okay Table one Is a must not ! Air conditioner is stronger then exhaust fan so you get smoked out and not in a good way. Almost gave two stars but cook was a nice guy read more

I was really nervous to try this restaurant, based on the yelp reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it really depends on who you get as a chef. I think your table mates also can make or break a Teppan-Yaki dinner. We made our reservations at the last minute. We got the exact time we wanted. We showed up, and were seated right near our designated time. We were served immediately by Bruce. He got us our drinks and took orders. He was very nice. Soon as he saw that my drink was low, he offered to get me another one. Our chef came out promptly, made sure everyone was getting what they ordered. He had a little extra fried rice, and he made sure everyone at the table got some. All of the food was cooked to perfection. The filet mignon was so tender. Again I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was seasoned well. The vegetables were good too. The shrimp was the only thing that I was on the fence about. They tasted frozen, but they were tolerable. I smothered them in the ginger sauce, and that helped a lot. The ginger sauce was excellent by the way. They will give you more if you ask. Our chef did some fancy table work, the kind you see at most of the Teppan-Yaki places. However his knife work was excellent. He did a really cool routine with a serving fork and a spatula. He was fun and kind. This was a great restaurant, and the food was delicious. You can use the coupon at the bottom of the restaurant receipts from here on the property. That will save you 20%. That makes it worth it. read more

Our chef Jay was the man! Great intimate environment with limited tables. We had a reservation so got seated and served quickly. Jay was super engaging, entertaining and a master with his knife and utensils. The food was delicious. A must go! read more

I would only go here if you have no other options. It's literally like they stuffed a Teppanyaki Grill in a closet at the hotel. The people and servers were all nice but somewhat inexperienced and slow. The bottom line is the food is WAY overpriced for what you get. You can't get cell service or WiFi to save your life which is icing on the cake while you wait. Do yourself a favor and go to a real Teppanyaki place if you want it.. there are so many other good food options on Maui you'll be disappointed. I want to keep people from making the same mistake we did. read more

Our cook/chef/entertainer failed at the onion volcano. He made a fire lake instead, which was less impressive. The food was good. The chef/cook was nice. He didn't do any tricks though, which sucked. You should order the filet and shrimp, otherwise you will be sad staring at everyone else with their steak and shrimp and nibbling at your monchong while stealing your wife's steak and shrimp. read more

Our food chef did a great job but the food was way way overpriced. We paid $10 extra each for the garlic fried rice that didn't get served until after we got Our main course. Our waiter kept forgetting to bring me things I've asked for. I would probably pass coming here. read more

I am upset that my friends and i chose this place as our last dinner before leaving Maui... disgusted, we waited 45 minutes in front of a hot range with no chef - entertainment was sub standard and not relative to a group over 21 -- may be my 6-year old grandson! My dinner was given to a couple and i had to wait while my group ate. My dessert came after my boyfriend asked for our dessert along with the bill. Unprofessional... will never come back to this establishment who cannot take care of their customers -- not worth my time and money - 0 stars is deserved not 1 (one) read more

Definitely expensive but the entertainment was amazing! And food was great as well! You get quite a bit of food too!!

So not sure why they asked‍ read more
