We have tried every teppanyaki restaurant in town, and Tokyo Garden stands out by far. The food is always phenomenal, and the portions are huge--yet somehow, we still manage to eat every last bite! You definitely don't want to miss their incredibly tender steak or delicious fried rice. Their sushi rolls are amazing too! Between the wonderful food, generous portions, and warm, family-like atmosphere, no other place compares. We always leave happy, full, and looking forward to our next visit!

From what I could see of the kitchen, it was so shiny and spotless. The gentleman that took my order was very professional and helpful, the lady that gave me my order was very polite and attentive.

This is definitely my new go to spot for Japanese food

I've officially reached my limit with Kyoto! For over $20 a plate, I could go to an actual…read moreteppanyaki restaurant and at least get a dinner show out of the deal. Instead, I'm paying premium prices to sit under fluorescent lights and question my life choices. The "Combo" Math that Isn't Mathing Then there's the pricing logic--or lack thereof. Why does a chicken and steak combo cost 20% more than the steak plate alone? * Standard Logic: A combo price should land somewhere between the cost of the chicken and the steak. * Kyoto Logic: "Since you want both, we're going to tax your indecisiveness." Either they have zero respect for their customers, or they're catastrophically bad at math. I'm betting on the latter. Honestly, I could buy a Blackstone grill for the cost of three or four visits to this place. The "Service" (If You Can Call It That) To top it off, the customer service is abysmal. The staff acts personally offended by your very existence. Even the older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--is the worst of the bunch. He radiates a vibe that says, "I hope you choke on that brown rice." Final Verdict: This is the last time they get a dime from me. I'm taking my business to my backyard.

Kanpai is a sushi and teppanyaki restaurant and lounge. My coworkers and I came here for lunch, and…read morethe lunch specials were good value. We were seating at a regular table, but still able to order the teppan items. It was just made to order and served entrée style inside of the whole experience you would probably get at dinner time. I ordered the 5oz New York Steak ($29) lunch teppan meal and it comes with fried rice, assorted veggies and miso soup. The food was prepared in a timely manner and my steak was cooked to the medium temp I ordered. It was super tasty and flavorful, but definitely on the heavy and oily side. The portion was large enough that I had leftovers for a subsequent meal. My coworkers who had chicken and shrimp versions of the experience also enjoyed their meals. Just to level set for expectations on the portion size. The gents finished their food, and the ladies had enough to take togo. Overall it is a splurge for a lunch but a good deal for teppan. Not something I would frequent because the nature of teppan can be oily and heavy, but I wouldn't mind coming back when my coworkers are in the mood for some teppan.

The hostess was so friendly and routinely stopped by for refills and to check if we needed anything. The Teppan chef was amazing, he was super friendly, made lots of fun jokes and did a wonderful show for our table while cooking super delicious portions! My husband and I both ordered the steak and shrimp teppan and it came with miso soup, a ginger dressed salad, a huge mound of delicious fried rice, bean sprouts (my fave!), grilled veggies, our protein of choice, and a scoop of yummy ice cream. The portions are huge so come super hungry or be prepared to take home leftovers! This place is perfect for large gatherings or date nights (keep in mind tables are sometimes shared but with adequate space) Found my new fave Japanese restaurant!

The food overall was good unfortunately my combination fried rice was definitely lacking flavor.

The hibachi chef definitely put on a good show, all the Teppanyaki was cooked to perfection and my family was fully satisfied with the performance. So overall good experience but the food was definitely nothing to brag about definitely lacking flavor.

We ordered the Bakersfield Picante noodles and the Hibachi Shrimp. Now some of the reviews on here are claiming small portion size. Well let me set that record straight. The bag was so heavy I almost dropped them when he handed it to me. Now to the food. I'm going to start with the rice and move my was up. First. Wow. It's really nice to have someone who really knows how to make fried rice. Moist without being greasy flavorful and plentiful! Next came the veggies, a great mix of carrots, zucchini , bell Peppers and onions. Cooked and crisp at the same time. Perfectly seasoned and not mushy. I was impressed.... Moving up the ladder of delish I had the picante noodles... and I must say.. simply amazing. Soft to the bite and perfectly chewy. Covered in a picante sauce ( hence the name) that was just short of sublime. Now. The star of the show. The shrimp and scallops. Cooked to perfection and PLENTIFUL! there was as much protein as there was veggies...It was amazing. We had the Hibachi shrimp as well... everything I just said about the Picante noodles... goes for the Hibachi.

If you love sushi with a Mexican twist, this is definitely the spot! The 69 Roll is always a favorite of ours because it packs so much flavor with the spicy crab, shrimp tempura, avocado, jalapeño, salmon, and that sweet & spicy sauce. But keep in mind you only get 5 pieces versus the standard 8 pieces with a roll. The Mexican Roll was also incredible, especially with the cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, and sweet sauce. The Concha del Mar drink was refreshing and came in an actual seashell, which was such a fun touch! The Bocadillac was another standout because of its refreshing flavor and the fact that it came with a shot on the side. Overall, everything was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. We loved the Japanese-Mexican fusion concept which makes Bocados such a unique dining experience. We also loved our server, Jamie, who was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
