As the only Japanese restaurant in City Island, I was interested in checking it out. In May my family and I chose to dine at OHANA. I guess the staff wasn't ready so we hung out in the bar area and pounded a cold one before we were seated. Shortly after the first round we migrated into the main room where there are many hibachi-style/teppanyaki tables. We met our chef and were ready to be entertained. Our loud and loquacious chef had a strange sense of humor; he made a lot of sexual comments (to me and my cousins) but they were pretty funny. The cooking "show" was fun to watch. I will say that the Benihana chefs are better. We were pleased with our dinners (we mostly ordered steak, some ordered shrimp). Usually I like to mention that it's someone's birthday in order to snag a complimentary dessert. Although it was no one's birthday that night we got two! Oh yes, we are despicable, but we got two free cheesecakes! They were practically frozen, though. We were all pleased; unfortunately the obnoxious chef was the best part. IFHTP 3 read more
