We had a great chef last time... he was so entertaining, funny and talented. I love Japanese food, and while the food was great, it wasn't what I was craving at the time. After perusing the menu in the lobby of Tempura Kiku I really wanted tempura and sushi!!! Just so you (and your dad) know, Teppanyaki isn't a sushi restaurant. This year we're opting for Tempura Kiku and skipping on Teppanyaki.
