Edoko Japanese Steak House

Food was mediocre for the price tag. Waitress disappeared and we had to grab someone to get us the check and then the new waiter had an attitude. "Quick word of advice" my friend, you need a better cook.

Very slow food preparation. Rice bowl served way in advance of dinner and was cold by the time we needed it. Three same orders prepared at different times. One steak order sat cooked for ten minutes while other items were being prepared including more steak. Seafood items were served separately even thou it was part of the dish. Pasta was served last when most of the food was already eaten. Not impressed.

We went in as a group of 4. The clear soup was room temperature at best. One group members order was completely incorrect. I'm not sure what other reviewers are talking about but our food was a little worse than mediocre for flavor, let alone the very high price. I've had similar quality food from a cheap takeout restaurant (if not better). Perhaps the hibachi is good, but the regular menu items were a disappointment.

The service was similar to the food. Disappointing. Our waitress was very attentive early on, but she soon disappeared and we were waited on by a different waitress, then (15 minutes after we were done eating and had to ask for our bill) checked out by an older man. Our bill was incorrect (likely because it was a different person from our original waitress ringing up the bill), so we explained what was incorrect and he went back to fix it. He came back, and the bill was again incorrect. The man was frustrated saying "Well that's what you said! " instead of just apologizing (like any decent server would do.) He fixed it again, and got it correct. When we went to pay the bills, he was very uptight and clearly irritated with us (because of something they got wrong.)

TL;DR:
2/5 Food
2/5 Service
2/5 Atmosphere (Kind of dirty and cheap feeling)

We went to Edoko on a very busy weekend night. From the moment we walk in, we are greeted by a warm and welcoming staff. The teppanyaki tables are set up for us. The young chef we had are not only skilled at cooking, but is also entertain and engage with us, making for a memorable and fun experience. As for the food, it is nothing short of exceptional. The menu offers a wide variety of options, chicken and seafood to steak and fillet mignon.
The service at the restaurant is outstanding, I can tell they were short-staffed for a busy night, but the service is still attentive and friendly, the staff came to check on our table several times and made sure that our dining experience is perfect from start to finish. The elder waiter/manager is knowledgeable about the menu and always willing to offer recommendations on wine and liquor.
My tip is to book in advance and make sure you get a table on the teppanyaki side. The experience is completely different.

Unfortunately our experience was disappointing. I will start by saying the service was quite good. What made it disappointing is the overall experience. Our chef didn't talk to us at all or try to engage with us. I don't know if he was new or what, but is that not part of the experience? While the food was good, it was extremely basic. Some cooked meat and veggies and rice. We paid over $200 for a family of 4 for a meal that we could have very easily made at home. Won't be going back.

Such a lovely restaurant and the live cooking was fantastic and our chef was funny and interactive. Highly recommend for date/family night, business and there were quite a few kids when we went so it is kid friendly.

The teriyaki steaks are delicious, and the service is excellent. P.s. The handsome guy who played the fire show has beautiful hands.

Excellente nourriture. Le prix de l'assiette un peu élevé comprends aussi l'expérience vécue donc ça vaut la peine de payer:)

As hibachi places go it's pretty solid. Food was good, service was nice. Kids loved the fish in the front.

Wonderful dining experience with lovely staff, nice seating, easy parking, and delicious food! We especially enjoyed the beef dishes which were cooked perfectly (and entertainingly!). Special house roll and tempura were also delicious. Good food and a fun place for a special occasion or just a family or office get together. Highly recommend!

Upon arrival at exactly the time of our reservation, we were left in the lobby for 20 minutes with no staff member coming and giving us an update on when our table would be ready. Finally we were sat down and although we had 8 in our party, two other random people were sat at our table. In the midst of a global pandemic, that wasn’t appreciated. Finally the chef arrives but he repeatedly mis-timed the cooking. He started out cooking the filet mignon for a couple of people in our party and then let it sit and get cold while he cooked the NY Steaks for other members of our party. After that he let the NY Steaks get cold (and the Filet get colder) while he finished cooking the shrimps for all of us. Oh and the vegetables, which went on the grill first, we’re sitting on the grill the entire time. At this point, he still wanted us to wait until he cooked the noodles before he wanted to give us any of our food. However we insisted on getting at least the meat but had to point out that we hadn’t any sauces. So we ate the meat cold. Oh and let’s not forget how he magically ended up with an extra plate with some meat, shrimp and vegetables. A plate that belonged to no one at our table. So not only did he mess up the cooking, he also messed up on the splitting of the food.

I have had Teppanyaki at multiple restaurants in multiple cities and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. This was supposed to be the celebration for my best friend achieving a major life’s ambition but it was an unmitigated disaster.

I have been to several teppanyaki/hibachi restaurants before and had amazing food and great experiences. This place was terrible. The chef/cook did not put on a show, over cooked my calamari (which I mentioned to him and he waited till almost the end of the meal before he offered to cook more for me, which at that point I declined), left my chicken so long on the grill it was crunchy, over cooked my boyfriends filet minion, and did not reduce the price of my meal to compensate. Very disappointed. Only good thing I can say about this restaurant is … we made the reservation the same day and they fit us in.

A great time and at the same time a bit of a let down.

Walking into the place you're immediately engaged by the smell of old fried food. Not overpowering but still very present. The place looks good but keep from looking in the cracks and corners as it is dirty.very dirty. The side of the cooking surface had old grease andfood in the cracks as well as pools at the bottom of the cooking table itself. That being said the cook top, table tops and bathrooms were very clean.
The staff is super friendly and nice! The young man who was our cook was doing a good job though he was a little short on tricks and banter one would expect from an interactive cooking experience. Our server was super friendly and was amazing with our kids. The manager (?) was this older guy who was pleasant enough but literally came and stood at our table (as well as others) and watched us eat with crossed arms. Kind of creepy if you ask me.
The food wasgood but they use a LOT of butter and the meal had an overall heaviness and greasiness to it even though it was very tasty, The chicken and shrimp are great! The salmon is small portions for the price but very tasty. The beef is a nope as it's very very chewy and not tender at all and super greasy. Do not get the beef!
Cocktails and sake was very nice and presented well.
The price tag is a bit heavy but you pay for the show so.not out of order.
Overall some really nice points but some serious misses as well. It's a place to go once to experience (especially with kids) but not likely to go back.

Great food, great taste, decent prices and kind devoted employees. The restaurant is a basement area making you feel like it is a secret place that only a select few would know about. I recommend this restaurant hands down.
