Customer Review Summary

Encore Teppan offers a wide variety of tasty dishes, including delicious Tonkatsu Ramen and fresh sushi combos. The restaurant is praised for its professional cooking and excellent service, with staff members like Juan and Anastacio receiving special mentions. However, some diners have noted that the ramen can be bland, recommending steak or edamame instead. The atmosphere is described as chill, with entertaining chefs and efficient service despite being shorthanded.

I really like this restaurant! The Tonkatsu Ramen noodle soups are all tasty. Sushi plates and combos are fresh, delicious, and lots of variety! They have a limited half price promotion that ends December 26th, SO HURRY!

Service was great and drinks were strong but lost points for the worst most bland ramen I've ever had. Get the steak or edamame instead just don't get the water flavored ramen

Order a pickup and got this in a salmon sashimi. Perfect 🙂 First time to eat a scale on salmon. And tuna sashimi is not fresh at all.

The service is always amazing, Alec and the sushi bar staff did not disappoint again tonight. You have to have their poke yellowtail. If you download their app, they have many daily takeout specials.

Encore Teppan is hidden behind a gas station right off the 60 fwy. It's your typical teppanyaki style restaurant with a bar, tables with grills, and standard tables for those that prefer to skip the fire and flying cutlery show. The ambiance is chill, chefs were entertaining and the food is good. Like most restaurants, the staff was a bit shorthanded, but were always on hand. I counted 3 staff managing the entire restaurant and they were hustling. They handled our huge party without issue too. Remember to tip well!

Do you want the experience of cooking in front of you and delivered to your plate by personal chef, then you are at the right place. Tempuras, noodles and rice dishes are for you. We have ordered chicken noodles, shrimp noodles, scallops, crab cakes from teppan menu along with calamari and vegetable tempuras. I must admit, the food was cooked with love and the acts by chef in the middle of cooking was great experience.
