Second Guessing ADR at Teppan Edo

[beavismom]

We have an ADR for Teppan Edo during free dining in Sept. but I am second guessing myself due to the lack of fried rice and appetizer. I am thinking that the veggies and entree will not be enough or will be disappointing for our group. So, I am looking for suggestions of other places we might want to try. We do have some picky eaters in the group, but they will be happy if there is some form of pasta and/or beef and potato available.

We already have ADRs at the following

Chef Mickeys (breakfast)
O'Hana (dinner)
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Sci-Fi (lunch)
50's Prime Time (dinner)
Coral Reef (dinner)
Kona (dinner)

We are trying to stay in the parks or at a close, easy to get to resort because this is a first trip for a part of our group. It would need to be a 1 TS place as well. So, would you keep Teppan Edo or go somewhere else and what would you suggest (so I can start calling and wishing for an ADR to open up)?

We decided to skip it this year. It is one of our favs, but without the app. I don't think it will be enough food for my dh. We could buy extra no biggie to me. I just know my el cheapo dh & he won't buy himself an app. If I get one he won't eat any of it.

Another thing is we have several very good japanese steakhouse(s) in the area. So I looked @ it as we can eat there @ home.

I have been rethinking mind adr for tappen edo too. my kids are picky eaters so i hope they eat some thing i think watching the chefs cook there food right in front of them will be a thrill for them. so i'm i guessing im going to keep it.

We have some great Japanese Places here, that include a salad, miso soup, meat and fried rice, I am a thick girl and this place fills me up, and I have a small puppy bag not enough to call a doggie bag! to take home with me.When I made my ressie at Teppan Edo I was thinking I would be getting the same,took a good look at the menu and got on the phone quicker than I could blink my eye,and said lets cancel that ADR. I felt like I could put the 1 TS credit to good use elsewhere, I would consider Coral Reef, LeCelliar,or Ohana. Good Luck!

I've never walked away from a meal there the least bit hungry. At first I was worried about no fried rice too but they have the absolute best white rice that I have EVER had. I think it might be addictive.

I'm sure you can get something they will like. Our nieces and nephews love it when we take them for Japanese.

If pure quantity of food is your only concern, then it might not beat a buffet.

However, if you enjoy a nice meal then Teppan Edo is a great choice.

We went last week and had a great time and very good meal.

I did order 2 apps. just because the kids were hungry right now and our guest is a big sushi fan, so he got the beef sushi and my DD9 and I shared the tempura.

We were so full we passed on the dessert that was included in our DDP.

I had the beef tenderloin, and it came out as a full steak and he cut it in front of us. The kids both had shrimp.

We thought the noodles and veggies were very good also. The kids did ask for more rice and were given it with no problems.

I think we'll go back in January.

I will probably end up keeping it if for no other reason than it will be too hard to find anything else at this point. I am not worried about the quantity of food for most of our party although there are a couple of larger appetites. It is more that I am worried that they will wish we had eaten somewhere else.

We ate here on the old dining plan a couple of years ago and my kids loved it which is why we booked it this time. I may try to get into Le Cellier (I know... wishful thinking), but I can't imagine anything else they would prefer over this, which is why I was seeking help here on the boards.

We love Teppan Edo. We've eaten there not on DDP and never have walked away hungry and also never got the fried rice. Also no appetizers either.

As for Le Cellier, I would pick Teppan over it. Last time we ate there we were disappointed. Our server was too busy, my DM never got her wine, there were french fries on the floor, the tables are really close together, and it was noisy. Of the two I would pick Teppan Edo. It's a nice show and the food is always hot! I'm not a small eater and I am full when I leave. Also the staff there has always been pleasant to my DD. They are very friendly.

We ate there in May and loved it. We were so full they almost had to roll us out the door; I barely touched my dessert. Don't worry about not getting enough food, worry about eating too much!! Everything was so good and the PP is right, the rice is addictive.

I feel the exact same way!! it will be odd for me not to have a salad and appetizer like i normally have eating a japan resturant during my free dining trip but my kids love it there and wants to check out the "new" atmosphere. I wish they rearrange the menu to at least include the soup or salad with your meal.

Do have have fried rice at all or it just doesn;t include in the free dining??

We love it there! We did not order an appetizer, but we were very full from the dinner and dessert. It was very good, and we enjoyed the entire dining experience. My DS 12 loved it as well.

We plan on going to Teppan Edo and we're on the basic DDP. I have decided that if we're still hungry it would be a great excuse to try School Bread.

 

[thumbalyna]

do they offer the miso? my daughter loves miso and we are not on the DDP so it doesnt matter if its not included.

thanks
