Teppan Edo recent reviews?

The poster deciding between this and another restaurant has me a bit worried about booking this. We liked it pre-Covid. During Covid we had 2 bad meals where the food was badly cooked (dry, burned) and stopped going. It’s been a few years so we were going to try it again hoping it’s back to it’s pre-Covid levels of fun + decent food. We don’t have a local hibachi place so it’s unique to us.

Anyone been in the last year or so care to share thoughts?

I've been there a few times post-covid and I find the food overly salty and it always feels so crowded to me. Staff is lovely. I only go because I have a friend who absolutely loves it otherwise I am not a fan. I much prefer Shiki-Sai.

Teppan Edo is sort of our WDW guilty pleasure, go there almost every trip. We don’t have a hibachi place we enjoy at home and there’s just something about the shtick, camaraderie, and familiarity that works for us.

Despite the somewhat over-salted food we actually enjoy the mostly protein and veggie options just in terms of breaking up other Disney dining options. We do tend to go with the upcharge items, eg filet for the steak, FWIW.

And the draft Kirin is always cold and so dang good.

I prefer lunch over dinner (or a late lunch) as it seems less crowded/chaotic around the entrance, but not enough to change plans over it.

I do wish they’d close for a month and renovate - the restaurant is starting to show its years of constant use/abuse if you really look around. It moderately bothers me, but I get over it.

We’ve had everything from great to just OK chefs, and same with our table-mates - sometimes that can really make or break a visit - but we always generally enjoy it there.

I did notice in the Covid times there seemed to be a lot of fill in chefs, but that time has passed.

YMMV!
