The food was excellent... portions were just the right size. Our wait for a table was acceptable... we were settled at the main table and our drinks came straight away. The experience was tasty and entertaining.

Dinner was good but not as tasty as previous. Waitresses had to be asked multiple times for drinks. No coat hanging facilities given even after asking

The food was nice. The service was terrible to say the least. The chef wasn't overly entertaining and did not interact that much. He did the minimum required. The moment he finished cooking the waitress asked us to leave the table while we were still eating so they could get it ready for the next lot of people. Our kids had to scoff down their food as we were pressured to leave. I would have thought we would have 10 or 15 minutes at least to finish eating. Once we were thrown out the back to finish our drinks there was no more service at all. They did not want to know us. Couldn't get another drink for the kids and couldn't even get the bill. We have been to Japanese Teppanyaki Inn on Collins Street previously which was far better than Ginza. I would recommend giving this one a miss and looking elsewhere.

A very enjoyable experience, the staff were very helpful with the menu and drinks. We were a group of 6 persons,and thought we had to choose the same set menu, however one of us did ask, and were advised you could all choose a different set menu. It would probably be a good idea to advise patrons at the beginning of this option. Apart from that I will return and advise others to enjoy a great experience.

Restaurant needs an upgrade. Very tired. Quite $$$ for what you get. However food was quality. Probably not suitable for a family on a budget.

Had to wait until everyone arrived to be seated, which seemed unnecessary. Some of the food was good - prawns, steak. However the expected 'theatre' was not as good as expected. Chef said they had toned down some of the antics one usually expects in a teppanyaki as they were making too much mess - which is why we were taking the kids there!

It was good. Not great, but good. The food was all quite overcooked and it was very expensive for what we got. $20 extra for the wagyu was absolutely not worth the cost either, the steak was dry and sinewy. The night was saved by the food games though which were fun and entertaining, it's just a shame that the chef barely acknowledged our existence up until then.

Excellent evening. Great Teppanyaki show, engaging all in our group. Food was very very good. However, sometimes getting drinks was a bit slow in the beginning. I liked the separate area which allowed us to stay on for drinks and dessert after the main meal.

The food has been of a much better quality in the past. I feel like they have lost their motivation. Use to love coming here as a kid, but we were rudley greeted at the door and told we must purchase 1 set per person (as we had kids with us), then they forgot to take our order for half an hour, even though we tried to get someone's attention. Disappointed

Entertaining evening... Expected more knife skills and other "tricks". First visit to tapenyaki was on the Gold Coast and skills blew me away. Have yet to experience that standard again. First time for my adult children, so they enjoyed the night....

Both food and service quality was average, certainly was not expecting authentic Japanese cuisine in Chinatown, but considering the special lunch pricing it is worth an extra score.

Great experience, fantastic quality food, kid friendly & great value for money. We were a family with 2 kids & we're on a table with 5 adults- I think it would have been good to say we had kids so we could have been put with another family- the adults were not using kid friendly languages. But overall fantastic!

The food was excellent and good value two of us had menu 3 and 2 had menu 4. We have visited before but took a couple of our friends from interstate who loved the food. The theatre was very different and they had not experienced this before nor had they had Japanese food before. They loved it. Thank you Ginza. Regards Iona
