I have been going here for many years and often go here for birthdays. If you get one of their meals, it comes with salad, soup, rice, a few pieces of shrimp, whatever you ordered, after dinner tea and ice cream. The chefs put on a show, while they cook and the food is always fantastic. The service is always on point and your empty dishes are removed promptly.

We go here regularly for family celebrations and glad that despite it being a teppanyaki place that they can accommodate one of our family members with a vegan option. The only feedback we have is that we wish the vegan option came with tofu as a protein then it would be perfect.Other than that we love it here and love the food and service!

Have not been in many years and it is as good as I remember it.The flavours are top notch,Presentation is pretty good. You can tell the chefs are new as most of the "show" is just them banging the cooking utensils together. But it's still entertaining.Definitely need to get back with less of a gap then the last time.

Great overall experience here. The steak was delicious, as well as the homemade sauces. The grilled vegetable assortment was primarily onions and I feel like this part of the dinner could be improved. The whole experience takes about an hour as they turn over the tables quite quickly. If you are looking for a laugh and a group table type setting this is the place.Dietary restrictions: Accommodating for dairy allergies. They will cook your food in the back kitchen though, as they primarily use margarine/butter on the grill.

I have to give a 1 star review.....we went to Japanese village for a wedding dinner. It was a small booking of 9 people and had been booked long in advance. When we arrived via our limo, the lady at the front counter was super rude and unaccomodating. She told us that one of us would have to sit behind the others as they didn't have enough room at the table. I asked her if that should be the bride in her gown lol. We had to make the decision at the moment that this establishment did not want our business so we proceeded to go to Earls Tin Palace where we were treated so kindly, they even gave the bride and groom a complimentary bottle of champagne. Thank you Earls for coming through after a dissapointing supposed meal at Japanese village. There is not one person in our group that will ever go to Japanese Village after the way we were treated.

I've been a patron of Japanese Village since childhood, cherishing the lively shows, entertainment, and humor that used to define the experience. The skilled chefs and attentive service were always a highlight.Unfortunately, in recent years, the quality has dwindled. During my visit last month, there were no jokes, minimal effort, and our server seemed more engrossed in her phone than attending to our needs. I had to get up to request additional rice and check on our drinks, a stark contrast to the efficient service of the past. The overall pace was slow and frustrating.To add to the disappointment, the party sharing our table arrived late, causing a delay in our dinner despite our punctuality. While the food quality was still good, the noticeable shrinkage in portion sizes over the past decade left me feeling disheartened, especially considering the fond memories I once associated with the place.
