Much cheaper than Benihana, but practically the same kind of dining experience. Located just at the Ala Moana mall, and it was very convenient for us to dine there, after our shopping at the mall. Very good and fresh cook, with charming & humorous teppanyaki chef cooking right in front of us. Service was prompt and attentive too! We went... More

We went there expecting it to be like the Kobe steak house which is amazing!!! My daughter spilled her miso soup on her, and it burned her BAD, they cleaned it p, but not much else done... I ordered the steak and chicken dinner, and it was chicken thigh mean they used, which I was not happy with, and didn't... More

The food is great. The chef was funny and nice and it was not that expensive. Cheaper than Outback. You have to make a reservation because it is a busy place.

Food was excellent. Service was poor.....we rang at 6pm for a reservation and were told the earliest we could dine was 8.30pm. We arrived at 8.30pm to be told there was no reservation! We were asked to wait for 30 minutes which turned into 60 minutes!

Our family of 5 ate here over the weekend and loved it!! Japanese Teppanyaki is our family's favorite dinners to have when we want to celebrate special occasions or if we want to treat ourselves..we stayed in Waikiki and decided to eat here for dinner..We had a 5pm reservation and was seated quickly, orders taken quickly with minimal wait.

Chef Quan was great! If you enjoy having your food cooked in front of you , while being entertained by the chef, then you will enjoy this... More

I highly recommend making reservations at any Tanaka's you go to as they are always busy. The staff always greet you traditionally when you come in the door. They are always friendly and... More

I have been to quite a few teppanyaki restaurants over a long time, including those in Japan, Tanaka of Tokyo in Honolulu is probably the worst I have been to. Much worse than the last time I went to in last year. I and some friends visited this Tanaka of Tokyo Central restaurant a few days ago on the first... More
