I hate to put negative reviews but this place is a dump! Smells like sewer and filthy! Their bathrooms are disgusting! No reviews for the food because we left after all the disgust. Do not go here! read more

Not as good as it use to be. The food is still good but the vibe is down. The place is dirty & needs a remodel & new paint. The cooks new more personality ours did not say one word to us. They don't cook the fried rice in front of you any more so the flavor isn't as good. Bathroom was filthy and had a sewer smell, their phone system does not work & the website menu pricing is incorrect. But like I said the food was still good & filling. read more

Came here with some friends last night for a birthday party. My friend had told us to arrive at 7 because she had booked a reservation and when we all got there the lady at the front counter stated we wouldn't be seated until 7:30. This was kinda annoying but we all had brought cases of beer and were passing a few around. ( yes you can bring your own beer and wine without a corking fee but they will charge $.50 if you use one of their glasses) Once at our table it took another 15 minutes for a waitress to come around and ask us our drink orders. Most of my friends brought their own alcohol but I wasn't drinking so I ordered one of those Ramune drinks. They are served chilled. Another half an hour went by and we hadn't placed orders or had a chief come to our table. This was my first time coming here to I wasn't sure what was gonna happen. Finally our waitress came back and took our order. I ordered the filet minon and chicken plate. Which me and a friend calculated btw it's a dollor cheaper if you order a plane plate and ice cream separate rather than to buy the $33 meal. But to each there own a dollar saved is a mini victory to me . The chef finally came out and began preparing our food which was pritty cool. He was super friendly and made it a good time even throwing egg into peoples mouths to see if they could catch it. On to the food tho. My steak was perfectly cooked and was the best steak I've consumed in my young life. Everyone else at my table appeared to be super happy with their order as well. The only downfall of my night is that I learned I had a severe allergy to shellfish and came home with a swollen throat and puffy eyes and felt as if I couldn't breath. Now this isn't really the restaurants fault because I didn't know I had such a severe reaction to shellfish but it definitely but a damper on my night since I paid $80 for a meal that almost killed me. I personally won't be returning but I think if you don't have a seafood allergy and really want a good meal and don't mind spending a bit this place is a good treat. read more

Came here for a nice dinner with a group of friends after a wedding ceremony. The staff was really nice and worked fast. The food tasted the same as every other teppan place but it was still good. I bring my 4 month old everywhere with me and I don't like to put the car seat he's in On the floor. I chose not to bring my stroller in because I figured it'll be tight in there. I was pleasantly surprised that the dining area was really spacious and doesn't feel crowded. I could've easily fit my stroller in the restaurant and not be in anyone's way. The best part is that they had a sling/swing that you can place a car seat on instead of having to put him on a chair and risk falling (I included a picture with this review) I thought it was the coolest thing ever!!! Lol I think I need to get out more I like the atmosphere a lot better than Osabi. This will probably be my new go to Teppan place. read more

Teppan Steak House - Sling/swing to place a car seat on I love it!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Oxnard, California

Good service and it was reasonably priced. Pretty standard Teppan restaurant. I wish they did the fried rice in front of you though.

I love everything about this steak house! The atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming. The food is always cooked perfectly. I work often in the area so I order take out. They always have it ready for me at the promised time. The host always remembers me and greets me with smiling eyes:) read more

Love this place!! Great food And service!!! We come here at least 1-2 a month. Great place to take the family and To have a date night. Lots of food with guaranteed leftovers! read more

What happened to this place? It used to be good, server gave good service but the food took a 180 and the prices went up like everything else did. read more

I always call ahead to place an order for take out, mostly on the weekdays. I order the chicken or shrimp fried rice specials (comes with LOADS of rice, veggies, + salad/soup) they are packed with flavor & it is worth the price. They do have the best fried rice & white sauce in town. Teppan does have a BYOB with a small fee which is nice. However, if you're looking for teppan, sushi, and a more elegant ambiance then Osabi is your place for sure. (No shade just honesty :) read more

I loved the food. It was delicious. The service was also awesome. It was a fun experience for the family. Merry Christmas.

The food is good , but the wait is ridiculous even after they seat you , you still have to wait another 30 mins for the cook to come out and set up . By the time you're food is ready you're already full from the soup salad and rice . Would I recommend this restaurant, sure you at least have to go once if you live around the area . Ordered the chicken dinner came with fried rice , veggies and chicken . read more

Add this place to all the others who are saving money at the expense of consumers (customers) by serving chicken thigh meat for $17 for dinner. Pathetic and downright wrong. Won't be back and will continue to warn others............ Geez!!! Will post a picture. Do they just think no one will notice? read more

Teppan Steak House - Teppan filet mignon, fried rice and veggies - Steakhouses Near Me - Oxnard, California

I love Hibachi grills because they are so entertaining. Who doesn't like a dinner and a show?!!! I came here for my daughters birthday and my birthday since our birthdays are within a few days of each other. I called in advance to make reservations, and told the guy on the phone we were celebrating two birthdays. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time and we waited in a small but crowded area for 15-20 minutes next to the door where a cold draft blasted us every time people squeezed by while leaving. Once seated, I noticed the lighting was non existent in my area where I could hardly read the menu but everywhere else in the restaurant seem to be ok. As I scanned the restaurant, I saw many neon pieces of paper pinned to the walls advertising specials which was very tacky and took away from the Japanese decor. Our drink order was taken promptly and our drinks came shortly thereafter. Our chef came out smiled, said hello then began to cook our food. I was pleased to see a few tricks here and there but it was clear the gentlemen serving us was just going through the motions of getting the food cooked in a robotic way so that he could then leave. The lobster did not taste so fresh but I will say the filet Mignon was delicious and cooked perfectly. At the end of our meal we realized we were not served the ice cream that was part of the menu we selected. Lastly, no one came out to sing my daughter happy birthday even though I saw people singing happy birthday at other tables. Overall my experience was slightly disappointing. read more

We went 10 years ago and weren't happy with the fool or the service. We just went back last month and it was WONDERFUL!!! The food was delicious the service was great we have been going once a week ever since and will continue to do so! Decor was not fancy but that's okay because everything else is wonderful. read more

This place is a joke, especially now. Just letting everyone know that they don't do the actual teppan show and they give you "to-go" boxes and plastic cups during dine-in because "the owner chose to do it this way," because that's what the waitress told us. But you still pay full price. Which is ridiculous. Oh and there's no miso soup at all. I feel like the fried rice veggies tastes freezer burned. Probably because during covid they just left everything in the freezer just sit. It's disgusting. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks after waiting 40 minutes to eat dine-in and then waited probably another 20 minutes for our food. I will never go back. read more

1 Star all around! Waited 1 hr 20 min after being told 45 min. Once seated waited 10 minutes for water. After ordering waited 20 more minutes for the cook to come out. Fried rice is not cooked in front of you. When it came out it tasted like it was sitting for a while it tasted so dry and stale. Miso soup was pretty plain no green onions or tofu like most Teppan. New York steak was supper chewy not tender. Fillet Mignon was chewy as well. Chicken was okay was expecting breast meat not thighs. Scallops were good. Shrimp was good. Sauces were good. But overall for the price point, the wait and the food quality it wasn't worth it. read more

The Teppan show was great. The food, well.... I got fried rice with Mahi Mahi and chicken lunch special combo. For $13 bucks it was a lot of food. There was no pink sauce (!) which makes me sad, but their white sauce was kinda close, so it'll do. There was also a ginger sauce and teriyaki sauce. What really got me was their fried rice. It was quite unappetizing. They premade their rice with the frozen vegetable medley you find at the grocery store (peas, carrots, corn, green beans and lima beans) and it made it taste weird. The chef only made some eggs and then mixed it in with the premade veggie rice. It just had an odd taste. I wish they made it like every other teppan place, which usually throws in onions and carrots and garlic butter with a little soy with plain white rice. Made to order fried rice. Panda Express has better fried rice than what I paid an extra $3 for. The chicken and mahi mahi was fine and cooked well. I went there at an off time (3pm on a saturday) but it was still pretty busy. I guess because it's a weekend? I was very happy that they also seated me at the grill being just by myself. I've been to places that won't seat me because I'm by myself. There is plenty of parking since this is in a shopping center. read more

The service takes forever. Seriously if you come here plan on waiting over an hour for a chef to come cook at your table. They just seat everyone but make you wait and wait and wait. The food isn't worth it. The least the employees could do is be honest and instead of saying it's a 25 minute wait say it's an HOUR AND 25 minute wait so I know and can go somewhere else to eat. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Food was very good, although when we arrived it smelled like wet rag that was rusty, once directed to our seat. Unfortunately for me, I had to use the restroom, that was so disgusting and smelled so bad, the bathrooms are filthy you can see how nobody has cleaned the restroom properly in a long time!! Lost my appetite and don't wish to return, they charge enough to ensure restrooms are decent for their customers! read more

Way Yummy Food!!! Great Host : Seiji ..greeted walk-ins right away .. Pronounced.. say G! .. Jessica directed me to the table .. And was receptive and promptly took our drink orders .. Yelp..helped me prepare with bringing my own beer.. I said "BYOB or Wine " what an amazing concept!!! The drink savings makes you splurge even more on your meal !!! In preparation to the chef's arrival Jessica recommended some appetizers .. The table ordered sushi while we waited on our other guests : The food was amazing -delicious sauces , soup and salad to start .. And our chef :ANTONIO was a character keeping us entertained with his slide of hands and jokes : very welcoming ..Pancho was attentive with refilling our drinks and supporting the Chef.. They offer Sushi .. No separate sushi bar ; however ; Michael prepared tasty rolls. Overall the food and service was exceptional ; fresh veggies ; and choice cut meats and seafood. I was able to share with the host : my plan with bringing my parents and daughter ; and he was open by accommodating my daughter who is on the spectrum and highly sensitive to noise by providing a separate room ; when available .. I say this is by far a great family restaurant that I plan to frequent !! Great for Birthday Celebrations .. With singing and a light show .. Watching the Chef prepare your meal at your table makes your meal an event !!! The prices are reasonable ... And the restaurant is very open; warm ambience... Lots of parking . No wi-fi: however did get good reception . read more

Benihana thrills without dropping Benihana bills. Yes, Benihana is probably the most famous teppanyaki restaurant in Southern Cali but it's quite busy, expensive, & a good distance from Ventura County, with the closest Benihana being 38 miles away in Encino. Is it worth driving that distance, then wait for a table and spend a pretty penny? Maybe sometimes, but there are decent closer options when time is limited and the cravings are there. Two spots in Oxnard for teppanyaki. I prefer Teppan Steak House. Nice spacious interior & high ceilings with Japanese style motif. At each teppan, you can seat 10 people comfortably. There is always a friendly greeting when we enter. Never had to wait long for a table, usually seated promptly. Kid friendly. Prices are standard for our area's teppanyakis. Love the fact that they support our local AYSO by giving 15% off entire bill to AYSO card carriers. The "shows" the chefs put on are entertaining. They seem to enjoy putting on a show and there is an continuous effort to improve the performances. My favorite here is the swordfish. Only place in Oxnard serving it... never had it cooked wrong so far, always soft & tender. Wifey has had mahi mahi & halibut, and both have been prepared to her liking. Steak, Grilled shrimp & chicken are the boys favorites. There is a difference in tenderness between the filet mignon and NY strip, with the filet, as it should be, the more tender one. The shrimp & chicken have been consistently juicy and tasty, You do pay extra for the fried rice (Yeah, makes you say, "Hmmm!?!") There is ample veggies that come with each meal. They do a good celebration here, too! 5 or 6 staff come... drums, tambourine, singing, and they light a sparkler on the dessert. Its nice! We don't come here for the sushi. Although my boys do consistently order the crunch roll or shrimp tempura roll. They enjoy those rolls here. Overall, a consistently good experience. We always leave content. We're definitely fans! ASIDE: open 11:30am - 9pm every day except Fri & Sat, when they close at 10pm read more

To start off I want to state that the main reason for visiting this place was a groupon and some positive reviews I read. The groupon offer seemed pretty good so I said what the heck.. When we arrived at the restaurant I was confused as to where the door was, it is literally an unmarked door on the side, similar to those found in a sketchy L.A. back alley. Once we made our way inside, I immediately started to get a bad feeling.. It was a Saturday night and the place was pretty empty. I mean even the Olive Garden is packed on a Saturday night. With these red flags already in mind we proceeded to our table and so far it had been a pleasant experience. Even the waitress we got was nice and kindly explained what our groupon entailed. Once our food started coming out we started to see why this place was so empty. I mean really what kind of Japanese restaurant ruins a miso soup?!? The salad dressing was good so I still had hopes. Once the cook came out I immediately lost a bet with my wife.. She said we would be getting a Mexican cook, I said no he will probably be Asian, right? Wrong!! Not that it matters if you know how to cook. Unfortunately for us that was not the case... I won't go into detail on all of the food, there is no single thing he did that caused our dislike so I'll just summarize: Protein - Halibut, was like eating dry, over salted shredded chicken, I mean seriously who pours soy sauce on what looked like a beautiful cut of fish. It literally looked like scrambled eggs when he put it on my plate. The veggies - (or lack there of) is suppose to be the star of the teppan dish, but it turned out to be a very sad, over seasoned and burnt representation of what they call vegetables. Sadly to say frozen veggies heated in the microwave would have been better. The fried rice - another important part of the meal ruined by what seem to be an experienced cook, which is the impression he was giving out slicing and dicing away performing his onion volcano and even more ridiculous onion train. I mean c'mon it was only adults at the table, did he really have to do that?? Maybe if he had focused more on the cooking method that the entertaining antics, the food would have been edible. So after it was all over I told our waitress about our dislikes (in a polite way of course) and she spoke with the manager which also was very nice and offered us 20% off our next meal if we came back to try it with a different chef. Sadly to say I don't think I will be back. One bad experience is enough for me when it comes to food and when you order a meal like that and your favorite part of it was the free salad you get before the meal then there's not much a second visit is going to do for you. So lesson learned, just because its a good deal on yelp doesn't mean the food will be good or even edible!! Oh yeah and the two stars were because of the salad and the manager and waitress's attitudes. Even though I was telling them how bad it was they were still very polite and sympathetic. read more

A solid 4 stars, they take last minute reservations and the ambiance was casual, you are paying for experience at least at dinner.  Food was good  the filet mignon was a little over cooked but not bad. The mahi mahi was good and the fried rice was amazing. service: service was good, definitely entertaing.  we wer sat pretty quickly with our last minute reservation.  Kid friendly we didnt bring the kids but would next time. Overall great experience. read more

My son got very sick not long after leaving. I called and spoke to Jen. She was sweet and said they would pay for him to go to the hospital. I called the hospital and explained his symptoms of vomiting and the other and they agreed that since he couldn't be off the toilet for more than five minutes, trying to get him there would be awful. They told me to keep him hydrated and to bring him if it did not subside within a few hours. It did subside within four hours. Jen said after reading my first review, they wanted me to come back for half off. I spent $140 for my kid to suffer a violent bout of food poisoning. (He had chicken. The rest of us had filet and seafood. Though we all felt yucky, he was the only one with actual food poisoning) I definitely will not return. Jen, thank you for your kindness and sincerity, it was much appreciated. read more

Once again they are out of items on the menu. No California rolls. 3rd time this has happened. Waitress never brought my sweetener for my tea. Nor did she come back to refill it, once. Three strikes you're out, I won't be back. read more

We came here for a graduation night celebration. Food+service combined made this place a no-go. The food was ok for a hibachi steakhouse, none of the food stood out as very good-tasting. I did Not like any of their sauces...the white sauce was almost like a horseradish mixture. In general, I've had better an Benihana's or Sakura. Our cook was super entertaining and nice as well as our waitress. We wanted to give them our credit card to pay for the family ahead of time and the manager (I think) refused to give it to our waitress because they did not want to be liable (that's a first for me...usually restaurant would love to take the money). The waitress also said they couldn't do their usual sparkler & ice cream because since it was graduation night, if we asked, then everyone would want it, even though we offered to pay for it. read more

The food was great, but it was definitely enhanced by the customer service and the host's genuine interest in our having a good experience. We will definitely make a special trip to visit here again. read more

Valentine's Day this place was packed! Every table was full and I can only imagine what it was like at 6pm! We were there with a group of 8 and I was hungry! We started with sushi that was just ok. The rolls were on the large side and they were few cuts. That's fine, I'm sure this place isn't known for sushi. Our chef was quite funny though! When he was doing the rice demonstration he took suggestions on what to make the rice into. We had some anatomically correct body parts made of rice and that's all I have to say about that. I chose the chicken option with steamed rice. It was fine. There were a number of dipping sauces to have with the seafood, veggies and chicken. I enjoy the cooking demonstration and especially the onion volcano! The food was just ok. I was very hungry and that certainly added to the taste. Teppan Breakdown: The food: Just ok. It was heavy on the soy sauce. The value: quite pricey for what it really is. All entrees are around $15? seafood pushes you into the over $20 range? YIKES! The experience: It's fun if a little tacky, but that's ok! You know what you're expecting. The best part is that the chefs use bike horns to get the waitress attention if they need anything else. That was funny. Would I return?: probably not. It's a special occasion kinda place and I just would rather go elsewhere for a special occasion. Thanks for a fun evening though! read more

Teppan Steak House - Onion volcano! - Steakhouses Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place was a good pick for my short visit to the area! I came here with a group of 8 and we had a bit of a longer wait but nothing out of control. It was such a great experience for the kids to see for the first time! It's nice that they do allow you to bring in your own drinks, can help keep your tab down especially if you are in a large group. The environment is awesome, people seem to come here for a good time and the experience! The fried rice was delicious as expected and the steak, chicken and shrimp were on point as well. The YUM sauce is basically he cherry on top, too fire. read more

Great food cooked at your table. Bring your own beer or wine at no extra charge! Or buy the beer and wine there. I find this to be great because restaurants always charge so much money for just a beer. This way you can relax and not worry so much if you want an extra beer at lunch or dinner. read more

We have been here numerous times and while the food is good we can't over look how disgusting this place has gotten. Last time we went a month ago, the floor was sticky and the table was dirty. They wiped it down but didn't really do that great of a job. We gave it another shot today and there was dried up crud on the grill, left over rice. Lord knows what the kitchen looks like. I went to the bathroom and it was worse than a 76 station in downtown LA. Hope this place gets a new owner that actually cares for the place cause clearly this owner does not. We won't be back and will go to OSABI instead. 2 stars and not 1 only cause the food wasn't bad. read more

This was a really nice little place to check out. The food was phenomenal and our cook was nice. We had sushi and steak & scallops. The only reason I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars is because the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant weren't as nice as I would have expected from somewhere that is expensive (relatively). I would definitely come here again, though. read more
