Teppan Edo Scallops?

[lin7]

Because we were sitting right next to them, and they paid with a 100 dollar bill along with a 20 dollar bill. They ordered apps and desserts too, so why cant it come up to around 100 for 4 people?

Just cause my opinion doesnt match yours doenst mean you have to accuse me of lying. I'm not the only one who had this experience. I'm just warning someone who hasnt been there but I'm not stopping her from going, I'm just giving a heads up to people who I care about. And yes I do care about people who ask for an opinion and want it. No need to be rude about it

I wasn't being rude. I was asking how you knew what another party's bill was. I personally would be offended if anyone judged the way I ordered (split entree) or what I paid for a meal in comparison to them. After all, some people pay rack rate for a resort room and others get a 40% discount. What someone else pays isn't my business.

I just didn't understand how their meal affected yours. Your concerns about the portioning of food should have been addressed with the restaurant. And I never accused you of lying. I didn't understand how their bill came to that amount if they split entrees (based on the entree price point).

To the OP, yes the serving of scallops is 4 and I don't think you have to worry about your scallops being portioned to another patron. Though it is possible that Teppan Edo portions the sides included with entrees the same for every person at the table, the entrees are measured out (i.e. 1 steak, 4 scallops, 1 chicken breast etc.)

4 scallops would be sufficient for me as a main course after a starter. They are very rich and if served part of a 3 course meal i think 4 would suffic especially if served with rice or noodles : ) x that's if they are good scallops

Of course it affected how we felt afterwards cause we were paying full fare and getting the same amount of food.

As for addressing the issue, we chose to not go back in the future as a way to address the issue. The meal has been served, what can we do? Ask to keep 2 table credits? It bothered us enough to discuss it amongst ourselves, but not enough to create an issue and take away time from the parks arguing the situation. It wasnt the other party's fault. It probably wasnt the chef's fault, cause that's what management told him to do. Maybe if we were paying out of pocket we'd make a deal out of it, but we were on credits and all we paid was the tip.

But this is coming from a person who when we didnt enjoy our entree sat there and looked at it instead of say something to the server. I'm not even kidding, years ago at Mama Rosa the entree I ordered came out and didnt taste right.... I sat there and just picked at it, a manager came to the table and asked if we were enjoying our meals. I lied and told him yes. He then insisted that if I really did enjoy my meal why am I not eating it? Why is it pushed to the side and being forked at? I kept insisting everything was ok till he finally pulled out of me that yeah it was gross, it didnt taste like it normally should. He then offered to take it off the bill. I refused saying it's alright. I felt bad at that point cause he kept insisting on the restaurant doing something to make up for it. So I finally agreed to take another Calamari as an entree. I paid for the meal full priced.

As for Teppan at this point all of my visits have been plagued with the same issue, that's why I chose not to go back, but it may not be the same for everyone. That's why I suggested that the OP go there and try it for herself. She might have a better experience than we did.

For what it's worth....

I have gone with my friends and eaten at Teppan Edo pretty much every time I've gone to WDW. Two people in our party usually split an entree. They are charged a split meal fee, to account for the fact that even though their meat would be split, each individual was still getting their own sides, and because of the split meal fee, they were paying to have just as much noodles and vegetables as everyone else.

I haven't eaten there since last January, so the policy may have changed since then, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

[letsgoagainsoon]

I'm surprised how many people are splitting the meals here, especially if they are such small portions. I mean who only wants a few pieces of steak, chicken or just 2 scallops. Why even spend that kind of money? Maybe I'm just a big eater!! LOL

 

[christinou]

I did have the scallops back in July and you do get , mine were quite small and we were all laughing at the size of my meal, next time I will order the chicken, I really thought that the price was too high. The food was delicious by the way

 

[Mikey'swife]

I think people tend to split there because if they are used to Hibachi/Teppanyaki type restaurants in the real world you get LOTS of food.

We do this all the time, but our restaurant starts with soup, and salad then entree plus 2 shrimp appetizer, fried rice, vegs, and noodles- We can split and still take home left overs

Had I not been on the boards for awhile I would expect Teppan Edo to serve the same courses and would order expecting pleny of food.

We split at Teppan w/o a problem. We normally do not get scallops (since there are only 4). But we get the steak and chicken which is HUGE and with the extra rice and noodles (priced from the split charge) it is more than enough food for us (We also don't order dessert here just because we don't like it.) We go get a snack at the Karmel shop later!

When you split meals here you are charged a split fee. That fee is minimal compared to an entree... but it does cover the cost of the extra noodles and rice.

I'm sorry if the op felt cheated. But the "entree" portion is portioned per person and you paying for an entree. When we split a meal we split the entree portion.... so we get less meat than you. It's not teppans fault if you choose to get a full entree an another couple chooses to get extra sides and split an entree.

 

[letsgoagainsoon]

SO, anyone know how many shrimp you get??

I can't wait to go to this restaurant. We have two different Teppan restaurants here in CA and we love them so, we're looking forward to it.

I was too until I started hearing that if you have a local one, you will NOT like this place.

 

[Nairnyn]

I don't know about that. I think it depends on the quality of your local one! I've been to one here in So Cal, after having eaten at Teppan Edo multiple times. It paled in comparison, and I vowed not to go back! But I will always go back to Teppan Edo!

I really LOVE our local one, and always leave STUFFED. So, I guess that's why I'm now worried.

I tried to explain this to the PP in another thread. She feels cheated and wasn't hearing it at all.

 

[chip 'n dale rule]

I'm also excited to this restaurant for the first time. It's on my son's 'must do' list.

 

[CaligirlPEI]

me and DD16 have a resv on sept 27th for birthday lunch for her. we are both very excited to go to Tappan Edo...we have nothing like this where we live (PEI, Canada). ...and we both really enjoy japanese food. my plan is to have the scallops. we are getting the sushi sampler to start but DD isnt sure yet what she wants. i guess it will be decided when we are there.

*mouth is watering* mmmmmmmmm

Yes I get what you mean, but I still feel cheated. I get that the "fee" is so you get equivalent side order of noodles, veggies or whatever it is. The fact there is a fee to share meals, still does not compensate for the fact that those ordering to share still get the same amount of entree, which is the meat, shrimp, beef, chicken or whatever it is.

I totally get that there's a fee to split a meal, this I didnt know before. But if the other peeps ordering to split the meal are still getting the same amount for the meat entree, it ruins the purpose of having to order a single entree yourself. Why not just order to share? You're paying a portion of the price and getting equivalent of everything another person ordered to eat alone at full price.

As much as it is entertaining, and the service is great, I'm still wont be going back. I go to a restaurant to feel full. Not feel cheated and still hungry. It would be a different matter if I came out feeling filled up.

We were very disappointed in Teppan Edo. We don't have a hibachi restaurant in Bangor, but there is a great one in Portland that we try to go to when we are down there (2 hour drive so it doesn't happen too often). We have been to hibachi restaurants in several other locales so we were expecting the customary meal: miso soup, small salad with yummy dressing, a couple of shrimp for an appetizer from the grill, and our entree with veggies and either rice or noodles. At Teppan, the entree is pretty much a "normal" portion, but both the veggies and starch were much smaller than we customarily get at other hibachi restaurants... AND THAT IS IT. No soup, salad, or shrimp treat. Everything else costs extra. I guess we should have expected that, given that most Disney restaurants don't offer a side or anything with the meal (just entree, starch, veggie), but having had the full offering at EVERY hibachi restaurant we've ever been too, I guess we expected Teppan Edo to be the same.

The food was fine... typical hibachi, neither better nor worse... and we left disappointed and were ready to eat again before bedtime (after an 8pm ADR). We won't go back; we are much happier with "real" world hibachi than Disney world hibachi.

I think the bolded portion is where the confusion is coming in. The split meal fee only compensates for the extra noodles and vegetables. The patrons who are splitting do not get a full entree portion of protein. If the entree portion for the Chicken & Shrimp Combo is 1 chicken breast and 6 shrimp, then each patron splitting would get 1/2 chicken breast and 3 shrimp. However, those patrons who are NOT splitting would each get a full chicken breast and 6 shrimp.
