    We are long time and frequent patrons of Tanaka of Tokyo west. Perhaps it was the time of night 8:45 reservation, but most everything seemed off. It was just the two of us at our table, the adjoining table was finishing up. Outside of the very friendly hostess, it just seemed the staff had run out of steam. Slow to bring drinks (water and tea), we had to ask for refills,. Everyone was nice enough but just seemed over it. Our chef was friendly but same, just out of steam. The food was greasy and soggy- in particular the vegetables. The portion sizes are definitely smaller on the sides which I guess you dine there for the mains but even the main 3 - veggies, meats and fried rice seemed anemic this night. You should receive the same service and quality no matter what time you come in but I sugggest not reserving at 8:45 I guess……

    Never been to a Bennihana like teppanyaki place. Brought our kid for birthday and they had a blast. Our server was good. Our table-side chef was skilled and funny. Made for a fun evening. The food was meh, but I guessing most people are nor going for the food. Would go again for kids dinner.
