We were celebrating a loved one's birthday and went to saw the tepanyacki showcase. Hope you understand it cause I am pretty sure I misspelled the word, also known as just tepan. The show and the service of the Chef was phenomenal; we had a great time. The restaurant is spacious and well decorated appropriately for the food being served. Portions are acceptable and as expected. Overall quality is a four cause some items were simply exquisite, while others were a disappointment based on the quality expected based on the price being charged. For example, my wife's and my daughter's meat were tender well seasoned, while my fish tuna was raw and even cold at the center. The specialty rice (not the plain white) was below our expectations, simply typical Chinese rice without the extras at which we are used to have. Great option for groups that would like to have some fun while sharing great food with quality service.

Crab rangoons
Jennifer N.

Food: - Crab rangoons: 4 pieces, lacked cream cheese. 3/5 - Black Dragon Roll: not bad, not great. Imitation crab, avocado roll, topped with eel and sauce. 3/5 - Singapore Fried Noodles: very bland. I hardly tasted the curry. Shrimp, chicken, eggs, red bell peppers, and onions. It was better the day after when I seasoned it with curry powder, garlic, and crushed red peppers. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: very tasty! The meat was tender and flavorful. Beef, onions, red and green bell peppers. 4/5 Service: We were greeted and seated immediately. I came with a party of 25 and half the people got their food first. The other half received theirs 15-20 minutes later. And unlucky me received mine's another 10 minutes later. By the time I got my food my friends were almost done with theirs. Luckily I got appetizers or else I would have been furious. My hungry face isn't that pretty! lol. It was still frustrating, though. I had to ask about my food to make sure it wasn't forgotten to be put in. Then my friend asked again because it still hadn't come after 15 minutes of me asking. 2/5 Final thoughts: The food was mediocre and the service was not consistent. I may come back to try their hibachi. I probably won't have to wait as long for my food :/

Hong Kong noodles

The name "Asian Bistro" comes with the promise of a an oriental restaurant with a personality of its own. The sad reality is that this hodgepodge of Chinese, Japanese, and American Teppanyaki can't make up its mind what it is supposed to be and does not get any of the styles right. Asian Fusion it is not. A menu of over 160 items is ridiculously ambitious and ends up equally lacking in quality and presentation. Your first challenge will be avoiding the tables that do not wobble and the second will be finding a pleasant location in the over-sized and understaffed faux oriental main dining room. Service will be courteous but not particularly fast or diligent. You will find no seasonings at the table so you will have to settle for the bland and overcooked dishes and white rice. My Szechuan Phoenix ($18.00 which they spell Scechuan Phonex) had everything julienne shredded including the beef. It was served spicy hot because I asked - totally ignoring the fact that this is meant to be a hot dish when served anywhere else. The Lotus Delight ($20.00) ordered by my wife (also supposed to be hot) was, in her opinion, inedible and affected her stomach for the rest of the day. We gave our waitress some feedback about or disappointment, but were never approached by the owner who was too busy to listen to clients. On the positive side they offer free WiFi but we were told that is was not working. The fact that this was not revealed until we had ordered automatically results in the loss of an additional star in my book. We left very disappointed with no intent to return. This is mass production at its worse and I would not expect their other locale called "Sushi" at 74 Condado ave. in San Juan to fare much better.

During covid a reservation por teppanyaki is needed. Quick and nice service! Quiet place, really nice for a date o family dinner.

Nice, regular, cozy and warm ambience. Great service, great quality food. Very mellow…read more If I had to describe this restaurant in one word, it would be a safe. It's a great option if you want good, last minute sushi. We never have long wait times, and the menu is pretty creative with some touches of Puerto Rican food while still staying true to traditional Japanese restaurant. I highly recommend the Dennis Roll for a good, sweet, savory and spicy flavor. My father recommends the Pacific. Definitely worth going if you're looking for good food, for a reasonable price, and good service. Pretty high quality, fresh, and tasty!

Oh, how I missed this place. Had so many sushi disappointments in the past few years living…read morestateside, so was happy to come back to my go to. Newer location than when I last went. It's bigger but the way it's separated it makes it look small. Was too hungry so I ordered the pumpkin cream soup and while it was good, it was lacking a bit of flavor. It felt thinned out or maybe slightly watered down. Our rolls took a while to come out (easily half an hour), but when they did they were brought to an area by a robot(!) which the server then picked up and brought to us. It was neat. I had my three staples (Leila, Mexican, Caribbean) and we got the Spicy Lola to try something new. The Mexican roll was nice (it's wrapped in tortilla instead of seaweed), and the Spicy Lola was very filling. The Caribbean was superb, but the Leila roll is still the all-star from this place. Possibly my favorite roll of all time. Service time wasn't great but Rolando was extremely hands on and always paying attention to refilling water, and he was extremely courteous. 4/5 due to the service time and the pumpkin cream soup missing the mark. Amazing sushi and well worth the trip!

I came to Puerto Rico wanting to stick to authentic local food, but I was convinced to try this…read morespot and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good. Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option.

If I could give zero stars, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. GET CHINESE FOOD FROM SOMEWHERE…read moreELSE. Came with a group of nine from different culture backgrounds, and unfortunately the service was a mess from the start. Our server got visibly angry when my friend asked him to repeat an answer to a menu question. The servers response was hard to understand and when asked to repeat himself he actually yelled at my friend in front of the table, snatched the menu out of his hand, and threw it onto a chair behind him. Completely unprofessional and uncomfortable for everyone. We should've left after this, but didn't because we were hungry. Only half the table was asked for drink orders, and the rest of us were given water. I flagged our server down to order a martini that never came, yet they still tried to charge me for it at the end. We waited an hour for our food and it came out at very different times (also not hot), so we weren't able to eat together. The soups were inconsistent. The miso crab soup and the regular miso were prepared differently and both lacked ingredients. We thought it was odd that the miso crab soup had noodles while the regular miso didn't. Honestly felt like a way to make up for the lack of actual crab in it. The sushi itself was disappointing, overall just subpar. I ordered the bento box and wasn't expecting fried salmon (I've never seen it prepared that way), and my food came out last after everyone else had already finished eating. Everything was bland and lacked flavor. This place clearly can't handle parties larger than four otherwise you will be cramped in a corner, and you can only split checks into a maximum of three payments, which no one told us upfront. To top it off, the server still had the audacity to ask for a tip. I had no problem telling him no and stated that we were unsatisfied with both the service and the meal. Coming from someone who works in hospitality, if I had been dining alone and not with eight other people, I would have walked out. That's how bad the experience was. Overall, not a great time and wouldn't recommend this as a restaurant to eat at. Matter of fact, try out Zhencha Boba Cafe for a better Chinese cuisine. I had it on my last trip to PR and went with a group of 6. That place didn't disappoint at all and the service was amazing. Everyone I was with spoke fluent Spanish and I'm still learning, the server was very patient.
