    Great show and flare from our chef. Food was great and top notch. I was visually amused with the chefs tricks and wit while he was cooking for us. Don't know his name but he was wearing a headband from the Hidden Leaf Village. And judging by his cooking jutsu, he must've been a Jonin. Believe it! I got the Shogun special with the A5 Wagyu beef and it was well worth the price I paid. Includes egg flower soup, vegetables, rice and lobster. My girlfriend got the steak and shrimp which was also just as tasty and well seasoned but not overpowering. We also had drinks and a couple appetizers. Price you could not beat for what you get. And skilled chefs that can make the night a delight. I wish we had these pricing for teppanyaki back home. Overall love the freshness of the food and amazing flare from the chef. Staff were also attentive and friendly

    Wagyu steak with the special Wagyu fried rice; this meat is so rich it melts in your mouth like butter!

    Hubby and I went here for the first time for my birthday dinner! Our chef was delightful and entertaining and all of the food was delicious. Because it was a special occasion and a treat, I got the Wagyu steak and lobster tail and it was such a treat! The meat was so tender and rich, and pairing it with the fresh wasabi was so delightful! I would recommend this place for any special occasion, it's definitely not a cheap night out (especially if you treat it like a treat lol) but definitely a fun and delicious experience

    This was my first time ever at a restaurant where everything is cooked right in front you! I'll admit I was a little hesitant when I first saw the prices, but after seeing how much food was included, and how great the quality was, the price was worth it. Our chef was very interactive and cooked everything that we ordered perfectly. All of the food was so flavourful and it was a very neat experience to be front and centre while it was being prepared! I definitely recommend coming here with a small or medium sized group, and just know that because everything is cooked at the table, the temperature of the restaurant is quite warm!

    Japanese Village has just opened at WEM! Japanese Village isn't your typical sit down Japanese restaurant. Here your meal is cooked right in front of you on a Teppan grill. As your food is being cooked, the "grill master" also puts on quite a show with flipping the spatulas and other utensils as well as a little bit of comedy. I ordered the tempura to start which consisted of 3 vegetables, and 3 shrimp. The tempura arrived at barely room temp and a little soggy which was super disappointing because I LOVE tempura. For my entree I ordered Chicken Teriyaki, which is served with rice, vegetables, and egg drop soup. The meal is prepared in a way that you have to eat I it as each component is made to enjoy it while it's hot. Vegetables first, then your protein later. I personally prefer to have a little bit of everything as I eat, so I didn't enjoy this much. The seasonings and sauces were watered down, unlike your traditional Teriyaki sauce. In all Japanese Village was a bit of a let down for me, but if you want a show during your meal then this is the place for you.

    We came here for my wife's 40th birthday. We had a reservation so we got right in, so waiting was no issue. Once we were seated there was a bit of a wait to get our drink order taken. They were out of hot saké so we had to order a more expensive bottle of chilled saké instead. Our chef was very friendly and polite. He double checked our orders before cooking them and told us what 'Japanese' ingredients we were going to have. (Everything is 'Japanese' here. Lol). We really enjoyed the theater of watching our chef cook, as you don't get to see your food cooked on a flattop 18" away from your face every day. The food was excellent. I had told the hostess that it was my wife's birthday and they brought her a treat and sang her a song while using a drum. Overall I was very satisfied with my first trip to Japanese Village. It is an expensive treat, but a 40th birthday is a good reason to go.

    I'm giving this place 3 out of 5 because the staff was friendly and the atmosphere looked great. In fairness my meal was to go, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I ordered a crispy roll and on the description it stated the roll contained fresh salmon and tuna. Take a look at the picture of my roll and tell me what she section of sushi hell this thing came from. Might have been able to mask the fact that it was only deep fried rice in the roll if it had soy sauce. But they didn't pack that either. Thumbs down.

    This was my first visit to this Atlas Steak + fish location, but I've to the location in Kamloops…read morebefore, and that was a good experience. This visit was not. It was Mother's Day, but we had a reservation for an early dinner. We arrived on time, but despite having a reservation, we still had to 5-10 min for a table to be cleared and ready. From what I could tell, the restaurant was only half full, but not fully staffed. Much like the location in Kamloops, this look like a high-end steakhouse. The kids were impressed with mist covered entrance. Once seated we got our menus. It took a while for our server to come by, but as mentioned, they looked understaffed. The first thing she asked is if we want sparkling or still water. We chose still, only realizing later it was Evian water, not tap water. This was a common practice in fine dining restaurants decades ago, but I think the industry realized that it made feel customers cheated and so I haven't seen this for awhile. I feel it's the roughly the equivalent of being asked to tip for everything now - customers are feeling bad being forced to say no, and feels like a poor business practice. After taking our orders, we were served the complimentary bread. It looked good, but the moment I started to tear it apart, I could immediately tell it was not fresh. The outside was a hard dried-out shell, and the inside was barely warm - like it was sitting under a hot lamp for too long. The kids at the table also mentioned that it's not as good as they remember. We mentioned it to the server, and she thanked us for the feedback. I tried the following: - Prime Rib - Mixed review. The prime rib itself was good. I asked for medium rare, and that's exactly what I got. But It wasn't freshly carved, so it was luke-warm at best. Yorkshire pudding was hard and cold. The potato and kale/spinach pure were fine. The red wine jus had completely congealed. I forgot what it was, so when the plate was placed in front of me, it look like BBQ sauce, and not red wine jus. - New York Striploin - Not good. We asked for medium rare. It was clearly medium - and ended up dried out. I informed the server, and she was willing to replace, but I also encourage my family not to waste food, so we kept it, even if not at it's best. - Truffle & Parmesan Fries - Good. Very large portion size, so couldn't finish it. Service was spotty. Server was nice enough, but just didn't really have the tools or energy to help us with our problems. When we complained about the striploin, she did offer free dessert, but it was a big steak, and we were too full to take it. So what does that mean? I had to pay for still water, cold bread, cold prime rib, overcooked sirloin - at full price. I admit that the overcooked sirloin could have been fixed with a replacement and/or free dessert, but I don't think it would've made up for the entire visit. A place like Atlas aims to provide an ultimate dining experience, and once a mistake is made, it's an uphill battle to recover, and it certainly didn't here. I would have doubts coming back to this location, and possibly other locations too.

    Best restaurant in yeg. Anything from the jasper smoked oven and the seafood towers are da bomb!…read moreGet thr Tomahawk porkchop and baked Alaska! How have I not reviewed my favorite restaurant in edmonton? I have had everything on the menu here and everything is delicious. I have been recently eating here alot I the new year as I've been extremely lucky at starlight casino! Anyways, may fave items are the cocktail shrimp, the seafood salad, Tomahawk porkchop, the truffled Mac and cheese and of course the highly addictive baked Alaska. It is a mouthful but those are the best dishes here. Trust me. I've had everything 10 times over and have tried EVERYTHING! I love the ambience here. The live pianists on thursdays and weekends. Or the waiters giving you a show if you order the salads, Tomahawk steak or baked Alaska! The service is phenomenal and I've recently fell in love with the delicious happy hour here! A must while in edmonton!!!!

The ambiance and atmosphere are very warm and inviting and I can say the same about the service. Our server was helpful, friendly and informative. I ordered the beef souvlaki lunch plate which came with rice and salad as well as a choice of garlic sauce, tzatziki, or tahini. We were also offered some homemade hot sauce as well. The food tasted really good and my colleagues enjoyed theirs as well. I'd like to visit again to try more of their menu. They have plenty of dishes that would be good for sharing as well.

    It is fun to see an Egyptian restaurant pop up in Edmonton. We thought it would be good to give it…read morea try. It is really cute inside full of trinkets from Egypt that make you feel like you are in a baazar. The owner is super friendly and helpful. Really loved the customer service. We decided on a few dishes to try. We decided on the Chef's Platter that serves 2-3 although unless you have an appetite of a lumberjack, it will feed more. It comes with - Salad, Hawawshi (flatbread filled with meat), kushari (Egypt's national dish consisting of lentils and macaroni), baba Ganooj, Musakka as well as a bunch of skewers. Chicken, beef, kabab skewers, lamb shank and rice. We also ordered Egyptian tea which was delightful. Food took a while to come out. However it was all good except the lamb shank was on the dry side which was disappointing. I really enjoyed the salad and the baba ganooj. My husband enjoyed the meat dishes. However we both loved the Hawawshi. Give it a try!

The selection is smaller than you might find in a city, but they make up for it in originality and variety. How about three kinds of noodles? And Italian meatballs, prawns, chop suey, deep fried scallops and tempura fried fish. Those last two really impressed me, because they were both fried just enough to allow their delicate flavors and textures shine through. Someone paid attention. On their salad bar, you'll find a different variety of vegetable and fruit salads, alongside simple but excellent fruit slices like papaya, mango, and lychee fruit. Again, someone paid attention to the details, instead of just hacking up some tossed salad and a bunch of melon. I LOVED that they had sushi! It was simple stuff, mostly cucumber, avocado and shrimp, but it was beautiful and tasty--not going to complain! Desserts were simple, but there's something for everyone. Two kinds of cake, chocolate and lemon--I had one of each, plus the lovely custard. What I thought was really cool was the wide variety of ice cream they had available. They had the standard vanilla, but also mint chip, oreo and more. Service was superb. They are quick and soooo nice there. Excellent! I'm pleased with the whole experience. I'll definitely come back when I'm in Westlock.
