    Sashimi Adventure - 30 pc
    Shirley W.

    We made a reservation here to celebrate my birthday and I enjoyed how spacious it was! It was nice that they also placed us in a more secluded room. We went ahead and ordered a variety of items as this was our first time here. Also honestly haven't had a teppan style meal since middle school haha. We got to order the Sashimi Adventure, several sushi rolls, the celebration style sets and just some of their specialty sets. It started off with salad, then miso soup, then sushi; however, the service was extremely slow... it seemed like there were only two teppan chefs in the restaurant, which there were already two big parties before us. We waited basically 45 mins until he was able to grill for us, and we were losing our patience lol. Salad, miso soup, and sushi were all pretty standard. Not terrible, but at least decently quality. Presentation were all pretty nice. As for the teppan grilling, I didn't catch his name, but he was pretty cool. He said his voice wasn't in the best shape that day, so tbh it was hard for me to understand him, especially since everything else was pretty loud haha. So we had all chicken fried rice, filet mignon, chicken, scallop, shrimps, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms. The chicken fried rice was pretty nice actually, he cooked it very well. Filet Mignon was kinda toooo meaty? mainly the quality of the meat. Chicken was pretty nice. The scallops were actually my favorite, it was a right amount of soft and chewy! The chef cooked everything pretty well, and the amount of items we ordered had us extremely full... One thing I would say though is that I believe there was a lot of MSG on all the items. It makes us extremelyyyy thirsty. Got back home and just kept feeling thirsty no matter how much water you drink lol. At the end, since celebrating birthday, they were nice to also prepare and sing for cake cutting. You can also get $30 off for celebrating your birthday here for signing up in their 'membership'. Gratuity already included for big parties. Overall, it was still a nice experience, however the service was just sooo slow. Probably they are understaffed? There wasn't that many people dining here besides us and the two parties, so there were still plenty of empty dining tables and teppan stations. The food here is better than benihana, but makes you feel soooo thirsty. It's not as theatrical as benihana I would say, but the food quality makes up for it a bit. Nice to try here once only.

    Made a reservation on Wednesday 7/9 for 5:45pm for 4 people for Teppanyaki through Yelp. Got here on time and was seated pretty quickly, with one other party at the restaurant. Ordered both the sushi and the teppanyaki, but unfortunately the chef who was supposed to serve us had cut his finger, so we waited a good hour before we finally got the teppanyaki started (the sushi and appetizers came pretty quickly.) Juan, our waiter, was super apologetic and accommodating, offering us discounts on sodas and appetizers, and the manager even came and apologies to us as well. All things considered, the food was really good and the service was good as well. Dancho was our chef and he was really engaging and we had a great experience. Aside from the wait, we enjoyed the experience and would come back.

    Decided to try this hibachi place instead of the usual Benihana and it didn't disappoint. Got seated and greeted right away. Lots of options on the menu and once order was placed, got salad and soup served and the chef came out. The communal table is a big one that's all connected to the chef and serve multiple groups conveniently. My chef was a great performer and super entertaining. The show was way better than Benihana like juggling fire sticks, fire fingers and tossing egg. The only downside is if you order salmon it's not cooked by the chef in front of you.. instead it's cooked in the kitchen and served when done. There's also tables if you don't want to sit in front of the hibachi grill. Parking is in a plaza shared with other restaurant. Definitely will come back to celebrate birthdays as the vibe is better

    The service is great, staff is so friendly, and the hibachi chef was doing great. He did his best to entertain us and keep the conversation going despite my expressionless self giving a blank response. Thank you for being some welcoming! The food however, was so mid. I honestly didn't like the food. I got the shrimp and noodles. Apparently the udon it's on isn't the thick Japanese udon noodle, but rather the thinner Chinese variation of noodles. My partner said the steak was good though, but I didn't have any as I don't each much red meat. Great service, mid food. Great hibachi bar experience!

    Always a good time gathering around the teppan table. The little show performance, the staple salad and soup plus the meat of your choice. Hm hmm good.

    We recently gathered for a family celebration at Encore Teppan. The birthday girl wanted steak so we honored her wishes and then some. It had been quite some time since we last dined here, an I'm not sure why we waited so long to return ‍. We were seared in the front room at the large Teppan grill. There were 12 of us so it was perfect. Our Grill Master, Tacho, was outstanding. He interacted with everyone, and involved the kids in a truly fantastic dining experience. My husband and I opted for the Anniversary special (they are celebrating 10 years in business!) and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent all around and the staff were so attentive and professional. Definitely consider Encore Teppan for a special family meal, or just because

    2025 starting off with eating at teppanyaki. When both my boyfriend and I walk in we were greeted by Alan. He guided us to our seat and gave us generally ideas the food and drinks. We were served by Manny our chef. He cooked very skillfully and performed funny and wow. Inside decorations is very Japanese. See the pictures and videos for yourself. Go on the week days so it's not as busy !

    Alec truly sets the standard for exceptional service. From start to finish, his attention to detail was unmatched--he made sure every part of the teppan experience was smooth, engaging, and enjoyable. It's clear that Alec genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. His service goes beyond just great food he makes guests feel valued and welcomed. Encore is incredibly lucky to have someone like Alec representing them. Experiences like this are the reason people come back. Highly recommend asking for Alec if you're dining here!

    I really like the layout of this place and it is very easy to get a private room. Even with a little party of three for me, we were able to get a table service and a private room. Granted it is not very busy if you come during the off hours. You get a lot of food with your order and the price is really reasonable in my opinion. The Benihana type of show was pretty impressive. It might be better if they had some music in the background since our party was pretty quiet! They were very nice to cut the cake for us that we brought to the restaurant and take pictures for us. The service is top-notch and the food and price is great. I say encore to this given they even have loyalty cards!

    Mike, our chef was great and Juan, our server was awesome! Thank you for making my birthday special!

    Our chef Camiere, brought the heat--amazing show, great energy, and perfect timing on every dish.

    Is lunch menu available on weekends?

    Yes. It is available.

    Is the fried rice available for lunch? If so, is it still unlimited?

    Yes and yes!

    I'm confused about the fried rice. Is it part of the Tappan dinner or not? We ate here once and it came with, but menu looks different now.

    It comes with it, but they charge more for the fried rice, but well worth it. Menu can be a bit confusing. Now the bowls are not made on the grill. They are made in the kitchen, but still good. I would stick with all on the grill. Let me know if you… Read more

    I made reservations via open table. Will i be able to have Teppan while sitting at a high top table?

    You can have teppan to eat, you just won't be able to watch them cook it.

    Yes we do! We have a FULL BAR as well as sushi bar and happy hour from 3-6 and 8-close!! Come on by!

    Is this better than Wabi Sabi in chino?

    The decor at Encore is more upscale. It is funner at wabi-sabi but taste food wise is pretty much the same both good!

    Weekend happy hour is a great deal at just $36 per person (tax and tips not included) from 2pm to…read more6pm, and it even includes a free drink, making it both fun and affordable. The staff there are very friendly and patient, always happy to answer our questions and help out. I don't know his name, but the server wearing glasses who worked on 3/8 was really kind and welcoming. We were there to celebrate our friends' birthday, and he provided us with the sparkling candle, plates, utensils, and even decorated the room with balloons for free! Having visited many Chinese karaoke spots in the 626 area, I can happily say this one is definitely in my top 3! The room is spacious, modern, and comfortable, with great adjustable lighting. Plus, the bathrooms are spotless, they even have free pads in the women's restroom. It's a great place to enjoy a relaxing evening!

    I love the ambience and decor of Full House! The moment I approached Full House, I felt like I was…read moregoing to a club! It's a really cool place to hang out if you are looking for a hip local bar and KTV at the same time. Next door is a pool hall as well. I love the shopping center has good food choices and afterwards the group can decide whether they want boba, shoot pool, sing, dance or drink! So Full House is in a good location. The staff were nice and checked in on us! Overall we enjoyed our service. Just remember that they are strict and won't allow you to bring anything in even water. They do not serve water so you have to pay $6 for a bottle of water! They do have a package for food and drinks.. For as for the room, we paid $58 per hour that can hold up to 8 people. 10 will be a bit tight! The only complaint I had was it was hard to find American songs they there was no "SPACE" bar! We wasted 10 mins just trying to figure out how the system works! It's just not very user intuitive. So you will have to select song by artist search. You do have an option to look up songs on YouTube but that was wasting time off our clock!
