Thinking we might choose this for dinner one night. Two of the dinners include lobster and cost $32 ... would these be excluded from the plan or not? Thanks!
 
We ate at Teppanyaki on the Dining plan in September. Husband had Steak and Shrimp, I had Steak and Scallops. Nothing is excluded unless it is listed as a la carte. (So, if it is on the menu as a combo, it was included). I do not recall anything being excluded at Teppanyaki. It was a good meal, and lots of food (I left more than half my food, and didn't finish either my salad or ice cream). My husband and I could easily have shared here and both been full. Of course, I eat very little, so maybe my view is a bit warped!

Have a great time!
 
Sorry, but lobster is now excluded from the Dining Plan. Sushi is also excluded as an appitizer.
 
Exluded -

Also when we were there they tried to tell me my kids could not have an appetizer. When I bought the plan I was told it included appetizer - I talked to manager and everyone was rather rude about it. They said "That is how we do it here " There is a major cultural gap in customer service at Japanese restaurants. I've noticed this elsewhere too. We got up and left. Everyone raves about this place, but I'm not going back. We went to LeCellier where our waitress was so wonderful - she bent over backward and said "Make sure you order an appetizer off the adult menu for each of the kids, because it is included with your plan"
 

Tepanyaki is not Disney operated. They are operating participants, just like Fulton's or Wolfgang Puck's.

I did not find teppenyaki to be a good deal for the dinning plan. It was my first experince there and was not the greatest. We had the same problem with the Children getting not getting an appetizer and also found that all appetizers (expect Sushi) were offered for $1 above the cost of your entree.

I also felt they did not give the children the best experience and our daughter did not even get table service, until I requested it.
 
we had a wonderful meal at teppanyaki-two weeks ago-no kids but three teenagers-all adults for the dining plan. we didnt order lobster but I had the steak & shrimp and it was out of this world!!! the only thing I paid extra for was for a fruity type drink-the employees were all very nice & friendly-it was my favorite ts in wdw-definately give it a try! :cheer2: :cheer2:

We ate here on Oct. 3. The waitress made sure that we were clear on the fact that lobster WAS NOT included on the plan. Also, no sushi and no specialty drinks. This was the only place that we experienced a server who was certain to make sure we understood...and reminded us often! :rolleyes1
 
We used the plan there back in April, before the changes.

Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and helpful.

Teppenyaki was great and we plan to return. :cheer2:
 
My family loved Teppenyaki and it was a great meal!!! If I remember correctly from my October trip...

The lobster is no longer a combo instead it is listed as as add-on which is not included in the dining plan.


Our server at Teppenyaki was very helpful.. The only time we felt like second class citizens on the dining plan was at Yatschman Steakhouse (also our least favorite meal).
 
When we went in mid October, when we were seated our server made sure to tell us what was Included in the Dining Plan. As others have said, the Sushi appetizers and the Lobster Combo are no longer included. The Lobster is an add-on and as at other restaurants where it is an add-on, you can pay OOP for it.
Our server was polite and helpful. We were not offended by her message or her manner.
We very much enjoyed our dinner here, I hope you will give it a try.
