Fun place to eat. Got a table quickly because we had a reservation but it took well over an hour before our chef came

Over all, everything was good. The pieces of mackerel were gigantic, which I don’t mind, and the service was good - everything came out fairly quickly. My one gripe is I also ordered the volcano roll, which should have been krab, scallops, eel sauce and I think spicy mayo on top of a California roll, but either I was served the wrong thing or they just did not include the scallops and eel sauce on top. Just krab and spicy mayo… ):

Last Saturday evening, I decided to try Taki Japanese Steakhouse, a place I had heard so much about but never visited. The moment I stepped inside, the warm glow of lanterns and the soft sound of trickling water from a small indoor fountain set a calm, welcoming mood. The air was filled with the rich aroma of grilled steak and sizzling teriyaki.
I was seated at a hibachi table with a few other guests, and soon our chef arrived—an energetic man with amazing knife skills who introduced himself as Kenji. He started the show by juggling spatulas and making a volcano out of onion rings that erupted in a tower of flame. Everyone at the table cheered and laughed.
For my meal, I ordered the filet mignon and shrimp combination. Kenji cooked everything right in front of us, perfectly searing the steak and tossing shrimp tails into his hat with incredible precision. The fried rice was buttery and full of flavor, and the fresh vegetables had the perfect crunch. My favorite part was a surprise dessert: a tempura-fried banana drizzled with chocolate.
By the end of the night, I left Taki Japanese Steakhouse not only satisfied but also entertained. It felt like I had been part of a small dinner theater performance, and I couldn’t wait to tell my friends about this unforgettable experience.

Food lacking flavor. Steak cubes had no flavor and the fried rice tasted plain. Put Japanese music on, keep the whole feel authentic.

I'm not a big fan of the dinner and a show concept where they cook in front of you, so I was delighted to learn we could just order off the menu from a normal table. Service was great. Food was great. Nice experience.

We are totally disappointed in our experience here the other night. We occasionally go here for date nights. We were turned down for the grill side which we have never been told no before. It’s really the only reason why we went there. We should have just left then. We ordered sushi and chicken and steak from the grill side. The server didn’t even ask how we wanted the steak to be cooked. It came out over done the veggies were hard and the only thing edible was the rice and sushi. The food over all was horrible. We even mentioned something to the server an he said sorry about that.
Long story short we won’t be back.

We came here with family and were impressed with everything. I got a sushi roll and while it was not as spicy as I hoped it would be, the flavor was fantastic. We also got the teppanyaki and our guys were great! Good show, great food, and our drinks were kept full. Overall, highly recommended!
