This Japanese restaurant is located around 1.5 Km from center market of hoofddorp. The ambience is really nice and gives out vibes of entering a typical Japanese restaurant. The seating arrangement is not very typical Dutch style. You sit around a big heated plate which is is used by the chef to cook food. If you are a large group of more than 8 people than in this kind of seating you won't be able to talk to each other in group conversations as you will be seating bit far away. The staff is really rice and was very fast to react to the needs and made sure we were always comfortable. The food is cooked right in fornt of you and you can see how chef transforms normal looking meat and vegetables into finger licking delicious. I am a vegetarian and they even had quite a lot of varieties for vegetarian food as well. The total time it takes to end meals is around 3 hours but with the wait inbetween the rounds and all the chef's action in front of you it times passes by fast. They only provide chop sticks but if you are uncomfortable eating with chopsticks you can always request for fork and knife. The restaurant is quite expensive and a meal for two can easily be around 130 euro. If you are looking for value for money then this is not a best place for you. However if you are looking for a nice experience to experience with nice ambiance and food being cooked in front of you than it is must go.

I am updating my review from 6 months ago when I posted that it was an "Awesome place! Friendly and going the extra mile!". This was for the take away part. We decided to go to the restaurant to eat in, and unfortunately we were quite disappointed: we spent an average of 60€ per person for a great food, but the service and organisation was very bad: We reserved for 18:00 and turned up at 18:00. They sat us down at a table and I ended up in the corner, next to the bottles and spices for the cook, quite disappointing! Then we waited, and at around 18:40 another family came to our table and sat together, and *only* then did the dinner start! We learned that they only start service when the table is full, not before! very frustrating! there was *no* communication, no warning, we were there with our young kids, quite hungry and annoyed! no effort from the staff to amend the situation or even realise that they made the mistake! Moreover, the chef at our table was 'shared' with another table! This is the first and last time that I will set foot in that place. For the price, it is sub standard!

Great food and such an entertaining experience. Yesterday it was the second time for us and it did not disappoint. ✨ Really good ingrediets quality (we had the fish menu with some sashimi as entrée and that was some of the best I have ever had), and the staff is incredibly nice, from the chefs to the waiters.

After moving out of the country and living abroad coming back to the Netherlands for 2weeks gave me the opportunity to pay a visit to this restaurant again. It has like time stood still in quality and satisfaction. This was dining as I'm used to 1 sitting no one who wants you out and food and quality is of sublime standards. I brought my mom who is a first with teppanjaki but now invited me for next year haha thank you Danny and Fanny for this great experience. Rob (koi's)

I can comfortably say this restaurant is a landmark restaurant of Hoofddorp. Excellent landscaping and proper teppanyaki arrangement. The chef might do some trick to entertain you. The food is extraordinarily tasty. It gets pretty crowded in the weekends so better book early.

An absolute hidden gem in Hoofddorp! We had the Monthly menu and were not disappointed - great variety of dishes, fresh ingredients, all prepared in front of you.. 110% recommended!

Great place to have delicious Chinese food! The staff is great and the place looks great.

Great place for a dinner. Fresh products. Nice dishes. Sashimi is amazing. Really fresh fish.

Cool Japanese place where the chef cooks in front of you.

I was looking forward to this dining experience only to be disappointed and regret my decision. 1. Ambiance > 1: Upon entering, place was covered in smoke & the smell of food was way too prominent. It only proves their ventilation & exhaust system wasn't properly thought of. Be prepared to smell like food and don't plan anything after your visit other than going home, wash your clothes & shower. Food stink sticks on.... 2. Food > 2: - Not confident their fish selection's fresh as I had an allergic reaction to their sashimi. Their menu's quantity & quality don't measure up to their prices. We loved the show their chef's put for us but other than that, food itself wasn't impressive. 3. Service > 2: Slow - took 20 mins to serve drinks, No knowledge on wine pairing, rushed order taking -no care for explanation, asked for water-- never arrived so I drank from my kid's drink. 4. Overall > 2: Pricey for what they offer. I'm one who loves exploring new places but this one's a 1st & last. Sorry but I don't recommend this place at all.

A great place with tasty food. I enjoyed it a lot. Service was really good with very nice people :)

The package meals are filling, delicious, stylishly presented, and well worth the price. Loved it.

Best Japanese food I have ever had

Great experience here. Strongly recommend! Amazing food!

Great food. The service at the table is sometimes slow though.

Amazing, went for teppanyakki got a whole show. Delicious food prepared right in front of you. Will visit again for sure

It is a hidden gem. Good value for money. We tried month special teppenyapi and left the restaurant full and satisfied. Will definitely come back with friends and family.

Very good. Had dinner before flight. This is a hidden gem. You have to have 2 hours for a meny.

Food is excellent. Very interactive and fun. A pleasant experience. Friendly staff.
