"Can’t understand the reviewers who exclaim that this is a touristy place. Of course it is! It’s a teppanyaki place in the middle of the busiest shopping street in town. We had the lunch special so it was decently priced.. the other sets looked a tad too expensive for a place like this. The service was friendly and you can’t fault them for the effort they make to put on a show. 😂 The garlic fried rice was good!"

"Kids may like that this restaurant looks like you are on the inside a ship. And the staff were nice, especially our chef who did a few hibachi grill tricks.

However, it was probably the most expensive meal I’ve had in Okinawa, and definitely one of the most underwhelming (as far as the taste). The food just wasn’t that good- from the salad to the steak to the crab and lobster.

I’m torn between not writing review at all, or writing an honest one. But I think this place really needs to step their game up. Seemed to be a big tourist trap to me.

I didn’t have a good plating picture, but the cocktails (which don’t seem to have a drop of alcohol in them) come in this mugs (which you get to keep as a souvenir)."
