Back in January I went to WDW with close friends and her parents. The day after the marathon, my friend had reservations for this location. We showed up and they walked us over to our table. The service was amazing and the quality of food was delicious! I would absolutely eat here again!

Teppan Edo at Epcot was an absolute highlight of our trip. The food tasted amazing and the service was truly outstanding. What really made this feel special was how authentic the experience was. All of the staff, including the chefs, are Japanese, and it genuinely felt like we were transported to Japan. It had a completely different and more authentic vibe compared to places like Benihana. They do not serve fried rice, but honestly, we did not miss it at all. The stir fried udon was delicious, and they still serve rice with the meal, which was perfect. Everything we had was flavorful and cooked beautifully right in front of us. The interior is great, the atmosphere is fun and immersive, and the pricing was better than I expected for a restaurant inside Disney World. Overall, I really could not complain about anything. Great service, great setting, and wonderful food. We would absolutely come back again.

Looking through the Disney World mobile application, I was looking at restaurant availability on a Tuesday evening for a reservation for 1. There wasn't many options available, but Teppan Edo was one restaurant that had availability. My reservation was for 6:30, but I arrived at 6:10 for check in. The team member had informed me that once the table was ready, I would receive a text message to go into the restaurant. When I received the text message, I went to the left entrance of the building for Teppan Edo. Teppan Edo is a teppanyaki style restaurant located in the Japan Pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World. The inside of the restaurant was modern and spacious. The team member whom brought us to the table provided us with menu options. I ended up getting a combo - chicken and steak (Filet Mignon) for my meal. You could choose other options like shrimp. The orders were also provided with vegetables and serviced with rice and dipping sauces. Chefs prepare meals right at the table on large, sizzling iron griddles. I was with two other families for the experience. The chef at my table had performed tricks like flipping utensils, creating steaming onion volcanoes, and performing knife skills. Unfortunately, when the chicken was done, I saw that there was a shrimp tail in my food. I couldn't eat the chicken or steak. The rice and side salad that was provided earlier was good though. The restaurant experience was fantastic. It was a welcoming atmosphere and it was immersive! I just couldn't eat the food after the shrimp tail was mixed in with the chicken. It was worth experiencing once, but I'm not sure if I'd revisit the restaurant.

This was my first hibachi experience, and it did not disappoint! It definitely lived up to all the hype. It was so fun to watch all the food preparation. I got the grilled shrimp option, and it was by far the best shrimp I've ever had. Also the miso soup healed my soul after a long day walking around Epcot.

Teppan Edo is in Epcot's Japan Pavilion. Easily one of the top entertaining and delicious dining experiences in the park! The teppanyaki-style dining is both a show and a meal. Every chef we have had here has been amazing -- funny, skilled, and made the whole table laugh while cooking everything to perfection. Be prepared to sit with other groups if you don't fill the table! With your meal, you get a small salad to start, and then the noodles and white rice with your meal. Both delicious. For the main, my go-to is the steak and shrimp. A few sauce options to choose from too. For a while, I would stick to just the core options, as it is very filling, but once I tried the volcano roll, there is no going back. I crave it all the time!! The staff is attentive, kind, and incredibly efficient. It's a great break from the busy park, and you leave feeling like you had both a meal and an experience. If you're looking for a dining option that combines amazing food, great service, and a touch of showmanship, Teppan Edo is an excellent option.

We went here on Christmas thinking it would be a nightmare, and even though it was so busy, it was perfect! We had a fantastic female hibachi chef from Japan who was seriously talented, and really funny! She made us great food and made the experience so interactive and fun! Eating in Disney Japan is seriously a blast as long as you have the patience to wait and book months ahead of time, make sure your entire party is with you or you won't be seated!! The ambiance, decor and service was superb

Alice Z.

Fun dinner spot at Epcot and one of the best restaurants in Disney world. The chefs are always so good, friendly, and a blast to watch. I tried the shrimp. My toddler also loved it and ate the shrimp, steak, Vegetables and noodles. Also had lava cake dessert which was decent

We had dinner reservations at Teppan Edo in EPCOT at Walt Disney World, which we made the day before. Reservations require prepayment, and for four of us (two adults and two kids) the total came out to around $170. The food, unfortunately, was very bland. There was an overwhelming amount of tapioca in the dishes, and the sauces were disappointing. As someone who loves bold flavor, I was really hoping for a good garlic sauce or a hot and spicy option, but none of them really stood out. You're served white rice instead of fried rice, and while you do get noodles, the vegetables were cut extremely small, which felt very different from the traditional teppanyaki style I'm used to with larger, fresher cuts. Our server, Lina, was pleasant and attentive, checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The chef, Taka (T-A-K-A) did a nice job entertaining the kids, which I appreciated. He did a few tricks when serving the noodles, but nothing too elaborate compared to other teppanyaki experiences I've had with more interaction and showmanship. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect for teppanyaki-style dining: you're seated at a shared table with guests who are not part of your group, which is totally fine. However, the noise level was extremely loud. It was difficult to have a normal conversation, and even while ordering, we found ourselves having to practically yell across the table. Between the surrounding tables, the cooking sounds, and the general crowd noise, it was hard to hear much -- even while the chef was preparing the food. Visually, the atmosphere is still a highlight. Being in the Japan Pavilion is really cool, and walking up to the building truly makes you feel like you've stepped into Japan. From the outside, it looks like you might get a great view of the park, but unfortunately, we were seated in the back with no view, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't memorable. Between the price point, the bland flavors, the noise level, and the limited teppanyaki experience, I'd give Teppan Edo a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

Gerry S.

Every seat has an excellent view when Teppan chefs cook traditional Japanese dishes right at your table. Select from steak, chicken, seafood and vegetable entrées, which are served with Udon noodles and steamed rice. You can also enjoy such favorites as edamame and assorted sushi rolls. They have a full Japanese bar so can pair your meal with Japanese beer, wine, hot or cold sake and even a sake cocktail. Skilled chefs and excellent sweet service. Cheers

Located inside Epcot, unfortunately, you have to buy a ticket to get into the park in order to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. We were a party of three so we did share the table with another family. The food was amazing. The chef was awesome! We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend coming here if you get the chance.

Veronica C.

Dining at Hibachi is always a delightful experience, especially for families. Watching the chefs prepare the food right before your eyes is incredibly entertaining. Because the restaurant is often busy, we recommend arriving early or making a reservation through your Disney app. The steak and shrimp are consistently cooked perfectly. The sushi, however, is exceptionally refreshing, incredibly fresh, and melts in your mouth. Please come with an appetite! It's certainly our preferred choice for an enjoyable dinner. It can be a bit crowded, so you may need to leave your stroller outside. The tables are close together. There isn't a lot of natural light, so it may not be suitable for those who prefer brighter settings.

Kids' shrimp dinner $18 comes with rice, udon, and salad
Tricia D.

This was my favorite meal of our Disney trip! 4 things that were a hit: 1) our chef Tomo from Jacksonville! He expertly prepared our meals and had many funny jokes. Maybe one of our favorite moments was when he tapped his tongs on the grill "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap", and another chef in an adjacent room responded with the tail end to the beat "tap-tap!", you know, like one of those Bugs Bunny tunes at the end of a joke. 2) plentiful array of food that you get with each entree. I enjoyed the salmon, and it comes with stir fry udon, white rice, salad or soup, and sauces. I'm used to getting only noodles or rice. 3) extensive drink list. My Paris Breeze cocktail was fruity, strong, and hit the spot! 4) the "show" during the cook prep, where the chef does tricks like flip veggies into their hats and draw Mickey Mouse characters in oil on the grill (part of their contract, LOL). The bill added up fast; after all was said and done, we were $250 lighter, but it was worth the vacation splurge! Last note is that though we had a reservation, we still had to wait about 20 minutes for our seats to be ready, so that was a bit unexpected.

Do they have fried rice?

They said that because it is Epcot, they want to be culturally accurate as possible. Since fried rice is a Chinese dish, the China pavilion has it on their menu and Japan specializes in sushi

How long is the dining experience if I have reservation at 7? From sit down to finish. Thanks in advance. Trying to coordinate fast pass plans :)

I would give yourself a good amount of time. I've been eating there for 5 years and they never have my table ready at my reservation time. It may take up to 15min to seat you. I would give it 2hrs to 2 1/2. Remember it's a shared table so it also… Read more

Can you get the kids steak without the teriyaki sauce on it as it states in the menu?

Yes, all meat is cooked without any seasoning and they add or don't as you wish. They cook in front of your eyes

Takumi-Tei Japanese restaurant at EPCOT is one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have…read morehad anywhere--and we've eaten at a lot of high-caliber spots around the world (omakase, Michelin-starred, etc.). I say that to provide a frame of reference. This place is legit. I was kind of surprised a restaurant of this caliber exists inside Disney World, but now I know. (My wife, who is the Disney expert and enthusiast between the two of us, already knew.) Simply put, if you want to experience the best of Disney dining, Takumi-Tei is it. My wife said she felt like she had been transported to Japan. This place is truly authentic. All of the staff are from Japan. The format and atmosphere is that of a traditional kaiseki (Japanese multi-course) dinner. It's omakase only (essentially a fixed-price tasting menu here), though you can choose between certain dishes for certain courses (examples of which you will see in the Ichiyu-Sansai and Shii-Zakana courses below). I ordered the "Full" seven-course omakase while my wife, who can't eat as much as me, ordered the "Semi" four-course omakase. When it came to courses where we could choose from multiple options, we each chose something different so we could try more things. I like that Takumi-Tei gives you these options. Oftentimes when my wife and I have omakase, we have to order the same amount of food and she can't finish it all and we both end up overeating. Note: Takumi-Tei offers "Kiku" omakase which includes meat and fish and "Hasu" omakase which is vegetarian. Here's what we had: * Beverages Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Lysegron ($12) - sencha, green tea, citrus Japanese Beer Coedo Ruri Draft ($15) * Omakase Menus: one "Kiku" Full ($250) and one "Kiku" Semi ($150) Aperitif Course 1 (Full): Ichijyu-Sansai Sea urchin and squid temari topped with soy sauce jelly and wasabi Course 1 (Semi): Ichijyu-Sansai Crisp golden tofu with delicate silken tofu, served in white miso broth Course 2 (Full): Sashimi Bluefin tuna sashimi served with wasabi soy sauce and shiso leaves; kombu-cured sea bream and striped jack, with seared scallop, julienned vegetables, yuzu miso dressing and shiso blossoms Course 3 (Full) and Course 2 (Semi): Hassun Assortment of seven seasonal ingredients artfully served on individual small plates Course 4 (Full) Dobin mushi (broth steamed in a teapot) A5 wagyu meatball and an awabitake mushroom with yuba and ginko nuts Palate-refresher Sake Non-Alcoholic Cocktail - Okinawa Sunshine Yuzu Juice ($12) Palate-refresher sake before Omakase Course 5 Course 5 (Full): Shii-Zakana A5 Japanese wagyu steak with carrot and onion vinegar, maitake mushroom, cauliflower crispy fried spinach, and gold leaf (additional $35) Course 3 (Semi): Shii-Zakana Steamed alfonsino "Matsumae style" with carrot and onion vinegar, purple sweet potato puree, maitake mushroom, cauliflower, crispy fried spinach, and gold leaf Course 6 (Full) and Course 4 (Semi): Gohan-Mono Hitsumabushi (grilled eel over rice) with shredded omelet; shredded shiso leaf and nori seaweed, wasabi, and bonito broth; assorted homemade pickled vegetables Course 7 (Full): Matcha and Kanmi Green tea accompanied by homemade Japanese sweet potato Mizu-Yokan with caramel whipped cream and assorted crispy chips After tax and tip, this meal cost $615.04. Expensive, but worth it for something so special and unique. The food and drink was phenomenal. Really creative, inventive, and complex flavor and texture combinations, outstanding quality, and absolutely beautiful presentation with an incredible attention to detail. We loved everything. In the final course, fresh matcha green tea was handmade at a tableside cart by our server (Cast Member) Eriko. She's from Fukuoka. From the hostess and host outside to Eriko in the dining room, service was exceptional. A nice touch was a handwritten note on origami by Eriko that came with our check. We liked Eriko so much that we sent her Cast Compliments in the Disney app. We sat in the Washi Paper Room. It felt very intimate because there were only two other couples the room. We got a lot of one-on-one attention. There are five rooms: Wood, Stone, Earth, Washi Paper, and the exclusive "hidden" Water Room (which serves as the private Chef's Table and features a waterfall with a $100 flat-fee upcharge).

I was very disappointed with our experience at Takumi-Tei. For a dinner costing over $650, I expected a true sushi omakase experience focused on raw fish. Instead, nearly every course was cooked, with only one piece of raw fish served. I consider myself to be an adventurous eater; however, had it been made clear beforehand, I would not have even considered booking this experience. The service also did not match the quality advertised. Our server disappeared for about 45 minutes, and despite asking multiple times, we could not get assistance. There were additional long delays before the final courses and before receiving the check. When the bill arrived, we were charged for something we had been told was included, and the interaction made us feel uncomfortable rather than accommodated. At the end of the evening, we were also stopped from leaving because an introduction was taking place. After spending over three hours there, we simply wanted to leave, especially after such a disappointing experience overall. Overall, the evening felt poorly managed and did not reflect the level of quality or hospitality expected at this price point. After the extended delays throughout the night, being prevented from leaving created an unnecessarily frustrating end to the experience and left us feeling agitated for hours afterward, which should not happen at this level of dining. I would have preferred the fantastic fish and chips in England for under $40 for two people. :)

It took about two hours or a little over for us to eat. Our drinks took a very long time to come, the kids meals, and our appetizers took some time as well. Our drinks were so small for $18! I had never been here before, but a friend suggested, and wanted us to come and try it. We got egg rolls, chicken, dumplings, the ribs, and the popcorn shrimp for appetizers. Everything was decent, there wasn't anything that stood out to me, particularly. For dinner, we got a couple of orange chickens and the Mongolian beef. The Mongolian beef was actually a steak cut up and it really didn't have much flavor unless you used the sauce that came with it. Additionally, the orange chicken was chicken tenders and light orange chicken sauce that tasted like duck sauce! I don't know what happened tonight, but I was extremely disappointed. Between the service and the food, would probably never come back here. The price point did NOT match the food quality. I am glad that we tried it, but I will return to my go to restaurants at downtown Disney. The ambience was dim but cool, and there was da second floor. There was a waitress that was behind us at another table, and she kept hitting me and my chair every time she passed by and not once did she say excuse me. I was as close as I could to the table, but the girl behind me that she was serving, was not. So I guess she preferred to hit my chair than her own customer. Super annoying.

Very good! My…read morehusband and I were in town for a mini vacation to celebrate his birthday and of course while we're on vacation we have to find the most amazing places to dine. I did a quick Google search as well as a Yelp search and this place came up and the reviews were fairly well first of all I love Hibachi so I'm gamed to try every Hibachi place in the world nevertheless I did call to make reservations but I believe during this certain time of the year which was I think it was a Labor Day weekend or the weekend before Labor Day... Nevertheless reservations weren't needed but I did make them just in case. We arrived via Uber which was a quick 10 minute ride from our stay from the Sheraton Vistana. We walked in was greeted immediately and overall everything was a 10 out of 10. I don't think I have any complaints if you love Hibachi and love the family style sit around type thing around the Hibachi Grill definitely check this place out very chic very picturesque. Seems like it's very clean as wel! I highly recommend this spot. If we're ever back in town I think we're going to definitely stop by here again and dine. I almost forgot I told them that we were celebrating my husband's birthday and the chef from our experience ended our night with a fluffy cupcake a one candle lit... Those at our table sung happy birthday to him it was super duper sweet and I love when restaurants do this...such a cherry on top of a great dining experience! Have fun and enjoy life :)

So I've been told for years to come here as it's the best of the best hibachi and now after this…read morevisit I can safely say that the place we had been going to before it closed was just sooo much better! First off I must address the elephant in the room their manager Tony who likes to stand in the archway between the dinning rooms and send text messages like it's going out of style, then after he was done with one of his texting sessions I watched him use not a very nice and kinda demeaning tone to one of the employees to go tell them to do something and let me say I noticed this across the table through a cooking chef so it would seem that he isn't very nice and if that weren't enough at the end of our meal our wonderful server Sammie was talking to us and she totally made our visit and was very friendly mid conversation with her Tony comes up and then she stopped in sentence and like walked away as Tony came up I said that she made our visit and he could clearly careless as he then put this QR code in front of me and told me to do a google review I replied I don't do that I use Yelp and that instantly made him get real short with me and walk away, so needless to say that guy has some serious issues as a manager and I feel bad for his staff because it definitely seems like he's one of those managers you don't wanna have. While I might be totally wrong about this as I don't work here and I've only been here once that's just what I noticed what I saw and the energy that I felt. So our food was good but I must say it was just typical hibachi and let's start with the onion soup it was ok kinda bland and needed more mushroom, the salad was good but they didn't give us very much as the server walked away with a very full bowl from a large table, my fried rice and veggies were good but mostly tasted like garlic butter, my steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly and flavorful definitely the better part of the mean but I found it strange that my steak came with a few pieces of potato's I've never seen this before at hibachi and they I had to ask them for ginger sauce for my shrimp as I guess they don't give it out. My hot sake and Kirin were both yummy and I just say the hot sake bottle was on the smaller side but it wasn't over priced so that part definitely added to the night! Our chef was good he didn't do anything out of the normal stuff just the regular the heart beat the egg trick and the volcano but it's all good a basic ambiance is fun sometimes too! Overall food was decent but definitely something that didn't leave an impression on me as other hibachi restaurants have, that mixed with what we noticed go on I wouldn't come back especially with soo much competition in the area I'd rather go there!
