Teppan Edo

Someone mentioned loving Teppan Edo and it has now peaked my interest a bit. What is your experience here? We've never been to a Japanese restaurant so it would be a whole new dining experience for us. Please, share your thoughts on this place!

I was there in December and everyone in my party--6 adults and a 2 year old--enjoyed it a lot. It is very similar to a Benihana (sp?), a large griddle with the diners seated around it. The chef comes out and prepares most of the food in front of you. Having an entertaining chef makes a difference, but not a huge one. The service was excellent. I like the food and even my very picky sister enjoyed it.

Went once last summer and once in January. LOVED it! Can't wait to go back.
One time, our chef, Tom, was telling us how he cooks for celebrities there all the time. I remember him saying that he served Regis and Janet Jackson, but Janet Jackson "wasn't very nice" .

We loved it. We ate there in Janauary. One of our best meals. My children are 4 and 6yo. My 6yo has decided we are eating there again in June.

It is a lot of fun. We don't have a Japanese steakhouse in our area so finding one when we travel is always one of our 11yo's top requests, and Disney's is one of the best we've been to.

They cook in front of you on a hot griddle type surface built into the table, and the chef cracks jokes, makes a volcano out of onions, and is generally much more entertaining than waiting for your food at a normal restaurant, so kids tend to enjoy it. The food is simple but very good - grilled meats, veggies, noodles and rice with a trio of sauces served on the side for dipping. It is different enough for adventurous eaters but basic enough that picky eaters won't have a problem either.

If you do go, try the tempura appetizer. It is really yummy!

Teppan Edo is a must do for us on every trip. The restaurant is beautiful, the service is attentive and the food is very good.
On our last trip the chef and recognized DH as a repeat visitor.
You sit at tables for 8 with the grill surface in the middle of the table. If you are a smaller party you will be seated with others, if that is a problem for you.
The chef cooks and entertains at the same time.
The food is delicious.
I highly recommend the Teppan Edo.
Have a Great Trip
