JANA STEAKHOUSE

This is what i got for the dinner portion on a saturday night. Not much food at all .. i wonder how small lunch is. It’s very overpriced! Also VERY hot inside, no AC?

Food was bland and the service was really bad

Went there for lunch and it was excellent

First time going here. It was fun and portios can be a lot of food.

I ordered shrimp fried rice and told the server I want dish to be made fresh. When food was brought to the table, rice was already prepared during the day and wasn't hot. She LIED. I can tell it was a bit stale. How pathetic. Shame on the restaurant.

Food was ok, I’ve been to this restaurant several times and this was the first time I was automatically charged gratuity and I didn’t even have a large group and I’ve always tipped very well!! I certainly will not be back , the cook was great and that was the only thing really good about this experience……..

Just had our first experience here having Hibachi (Teppanyaki) with the family for my son's birthday. The Philadelphia sushi roll was fantastic and the edamame was good (1st time receiving out not salted). The soup was tasty, as was the salad that was drowning in ranch. Amazing fried rice, veggies, chicken and steak off the flattop. The server and chef did a good job, but were hard to hear, as they were too quiet, with lots of noise all around from other tables/chefs.
Overall, we really enjoyed Jana Steakhouse and will be back for more sushi and fried rice!

I cannot believe that half of our party wanted hibachi and the other half sushi and told us we need to sit away from the hibachi table since everyone was not getting hibachi!!!! We left!!! I could understand if they were really busy, but no they had tables empty and they just turned away customers that loved the tip and love to eat our own individual meals!! So sad

It's ridiculous how good this place even though the reviews say otherwise. My guess is because of the huge a number of children in the place that are unattended and ill behaved. You can't walk across the dining room without one of these awful children running into you or being obnoxious. Our waitresses (Judy) was wonderful even though a child ran right into her and almost made her spill her tray. The chef is excellent, the food is excellent, the bar drinks are wonderful, and our waitress Judy was just delightful. If the parents would take any sort of control over their children it would be a much more pleasant dining experience. It is one of the best dinners I've had at a Japanese steakhouse anywhere in this area. We had a table with children for a children's birthday yet our family knows how to behave in public. The management was totally helpless in this situation. I get that they're doing the best they can. All they can do is offer good food, good drinks, and good service. I guess it's up to the parents to control their horrible children.

Very good food, fast service!

Horrible service, they are not allergy friendly, and not accommodating at all. The staff is just rude

I haven’t eatin here in couple years. The last three times I’ve tried going the hibachi tables were always closed. It seems they only serve guest that go in early and doesn’t care about the 8:00 customers that are hungry.

Our first visit was Saturday, a double date. The four of us had never been here and thought to give it a try. The rice was crunchy and very undercooked, the steak I ordered was medium rare but it was raw, our shrimp had the skin and tail on it. Nothing worse than eating into your Hibachi with crunchy shrimp skin and tail, 2 of us had this issue. Overall the food was Bland & not tasteful, we will not be back. I wish I would have looked over the reviews because this is a common issue. Also, there is a directive at the Hibachi Table and on their menu that everybody has to get a Hibachi plate. A friend wanted to order an actual dinner/items outside of Hibachi but was not permitted to do so. It was not a good experience and I hope things get better.
Thank you and take care.

During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in both their sushi and hibachi offerings, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

The restaurant's ambiance is inviting, striking a harmonious balance between modern elegance and traditional Japanese aesthetics. The interior is thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience.

Sushi Selection

The sushi menu at JANA STEAKHOUSE is extensive, featuring a variety of rolls that cater to both traditional tastes and adventurous palates. I opted for the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Beauty Roll. The Spicy Tuna Roll showcased fresh tuna with a delightful kick, while the Beauty Roll combined flavors and textures that were both innovative and satisfying. Each piece was meticulously crafted, highlighting the chefs' dedication to quality and presentation.

Hibachi Experience

The hibachi experience is where JANA STEAKHOUSE truly shines. Seated around a teppanyaki grill, guests are treated to a live culinary performance by skilled chefs. Our chef was not only proficient in his cooking techniques but also infused the session with humor and interactive elements, making it an engaging spectacle for all ages. I chose the filet mignon and shrimp combination, and both were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and complemented by well-seasoned vegetables and fried rice.

Service and Staff

The staff at JANA STEAKHOUSE are attentive and courteous. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and promptly seated. Our server ensured that our drinks were replenished, and any special requests were accommodated without hesitation. The seamless coordination between the servers and hibachi chefs contributed to a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.

Food is ok. Not sure it's authentic Japanese cuisine.
The entertainment element is ok, too. But sometimes you wonder who the entertainment is for when it goes a bit too far.
$268 for 4 adults n 2 children.
Atmosphere varies but is generally good as each chef goes through their routine.
