    Food and services were also excellent! The only issue was the a/c wasn’t working well and with the grill going it was made the experience for us to feel hot and sweaty during the meal!

    Amazing Christmas dinner at Tanaka. Chef was entertaining and very interactive. Add on the fried rice to any dish. So worth it.

    We were seated about 25 minutes after our reservation time and then it took forever for our cook to arrive. We were at the restaurant for nearly 3 and a half hours total.

    Food was delicious. Always entertaining. A bit of a wait to be seated but complimentary edamame was offered to apologize for the wait. Nice touch. Will be back again!

    Space was too cramped. Like the enthusiasm of the chef but needs more training. Food was mediocre.
