**Dining Review: A Mixed Experience at Tanuki**
Tanuki offers a dining experience that is a blend of highs and lows. While selections like the Philadelphia Roll and sashimi impress with quality, other offerings fall short, leaving diners disappointed. The lobster roll lacked flavor, and the Pad Thai was criticized for its blandness and odd smell. Wait times for seating can extend significantly, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Some dishes, such as the fried rice, were found lacking, yet the hibachi steak and shrimp received praise for their excellence. In summary, while there are standout items, several inconsistencies make an uneventful visit a possibility.

The sashimi was delightful. However, I was let down by the Spicy Salmon Roll; it lacked any real spice and the fish was minced instead of being in fresh, quality pieces.
I found the Pad Thai to be bland and it had an unusual smell, making it inedible. This was particularly disappointing, considering Tanuki’s usually consistent quality. The Shrimp Tempura sushi was also mushy and lacked flavor; surprisingly, the lettuce in the roll had more taste than the sushi itself. On a positive note, the Philadelphia Roll and sashimi were quite good.
The steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection—absolutely delicious. However, the vegetables were a bit mushy, and the fried rice lacked flavor and seemed quite plain. The portions were smaller than what we typically find at most hibachi places, which was surprising given the prices, but it didn't really bother us.
Once again the hibachi chicken was excellent. This time we tried the sushi it was great, and they accommodated my substitution of soy paper for the nori (with a minimal up charge). Highly recommend!
