This restaurant was the first of its kind in the Reno area, so you have to give it points for innovation. But after that, it is an average dining spot. The show is spectacular if you go for the Tempanyaki. The chefs are skilled at acrobatic feats with food and will make you laugh while you drool over the meal you're about to enjoy. The fried rice is tasty, but none of the rest is very impressive. less

My experience was not worth the $75 price tag for two. Our chef was entertaining and a flash with the utensils. But this did NOT make up for a meal worth only $10-15 each (portion and quality).

This is the ultimate Japanese cuisine in Reno. The fried rice is seasoned perfectly (fried rice is an extra charge) and bursting with fresh veggies. The chicken liver appetizer will surprise you. My favorite is the Ichiban dinner which is shrimp, chicken and filet. If you have any room (or a hollow leg) they have a decadent cheesecake that'll knock your tastebuds. less
