Tokyo Wako Arcadia

This place has really gone downhill, unfortunately. We used to enjoy eating here. Tonight was our last time. The inside and outside feel very dark, musty and aged. The prices have doubled in the past 5 years with a teppanyaki steak, shrimp and scallop entree costing $57 for one person. Every fried rice upgrade is $5 per person. The sushi rolls are $20 and up. We got stuck with a cook as old as Biden. There was absolutely no entertainment/show. We may as well have sat in the kitchen. We asked, Will you be juggling the utensils at least? He thought we asked for him to toss us a shrimp and said, No, people can choke. We explained again what we meant. My son even rolled a fork on his finger just like they usually do with the spatulas. The cook ignored us and finished up, cleaned the grill and left. Boring! I spoke to the managers and they said, sorry, he 's been cooking a long time . They then offered us free ice cream scoops as compensation. I don 't think this restaurant can stay in business much longer at this rate.

Made a reservation for my son’s birthday celebration. There is no inside waiting area so we waited outside in the heat. It was also warm inside I think their ac wasn’t working properly. They did have fans on the floor but wasn’t helping much. The waitress forgot everyone’s steamed rice. My chicken was dry. The chef was great. Very friendly and put on a great show.

It's a teppanyaki and sushi restaurant, and it's just as delicious as I imagined. The performance when cooking Teppanyaki was good. The teppanyaki menu was enough for 4 people with 2 dishes. All other customers took their food home without exception. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the service, and the reception, ordering, and serving staff were not very responsive. The staff who cooks Teppanyaki was kind and nice.

The restaurant was a bit warm for such a hot day and all the grills on high. The server was kind, as was the chef. The food was good. The soup was extremely tasty. Nice night out.

This is our go to place for business reunions. Always good.
