I’ve been here multiple times and had great experiences each time. We had kids in our group that was their first and second time attending. They had a great experience in the chef included them in their presentation. We had nine people in our group so I would say they can handle anywhere from 9 to 10 people around one grill. Food was good and excellent to the taste. We had people that ordered the steak and salmon, steak and shrimp, steak and chicken also had sides of rice and lo mein, which were all really good. The meals which included the soup, salad, fried vegetables, and meat. Had to pay extra for the rice or noodles. We went pretty early right as they open and had go ahead reservations from the night before it was busy and filled up quick so would recommend going early or making reservations. Restaurant was clean and neat and tidy, but we were the first ones there for the night. Overall, the experience was great price seems a little steep, but you get dinner and a show, we usually only go here once a year.

Such a fun experience at Tepanyaki! The cook was not only impressive but also hilarious—he kept us entertained with cool tricks and jokes like throwing the butter up in the air and calling it 'butter fly.' The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We had the chicken and filet, both were really good, but next time I think I'll just go with the filet—it was so tender and melted in your mouth. The fried rice was outstanding—probably some of the best I've had. It was perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of flavors and a slight crispness that added to the texture. Every bite was satisfying, making it the perfect complement to the main dishes. I could easily have eaten a whole bowl of it on its own! Our server was very nice, though we had to ask for drinks a few times before we got them. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to go back!

Super fun environment. We had an awesome chef. He made the experience so entertaining. Food was cooked perfectly. All the staff were friendly. We were very well taken care of.

Delicious food and fast service. Meals are expensive but you get to watch them cook in front of you so it's more than just a sit down reatraunt. They have a kids menu and it seemed good for kids 4-9. They had booster seats and high chairs as well. I got the seafood plate and it was delicious. I couldn't eat all the food in one sitting and they give boxes to take food home in. It made a great lunch the next day. We tried sushi. It had big pieces but was also expensive. Not sure the sushi was worth the cost.

I have never left a review before, but I was super frustrated with the service we received for how expensive it was. We were estimated a 20 minute wait time, and it took them double that if not longer to seat my husband and I. There were a lot of people who came in after us as a walk in, but got sat before us. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and I will not be returning.

Food was good but our chef for the night was less then enthusiastic compared to everyone else's chefs. And holy cow the prices are wild. $20 per kids meal. My kids don't eat that much.

One of my favorite places to go to with friends and family. Staff is super nice and the food is pricy but super yummy.

Such a great place to have a special occasion. The food is not only tasty but entertaining as well. The staff is wonderful and will go out of their way to make sure your experience is great. The chefs are top notch and very skilled. The only down side is the noise level, but I don't blame the restaurant at all, its just how it is woth this style of eating. Price is a little higher than your average eatout, but definitely worth it.
