    Tsukasa is so delicious every time I go! What an experience to watch your delicious food get cooked right in front of you. I got Golden Shrimp, which is where they have a special egg yolk sauce on butterflied shrimp. It’s a little weird, but I still enjoy it a lot! Their fried rice is SO OUTSTANDING! It was different than the last time I had it but still so good… I’m getting hungry just thinking about it a day later! Our chef was super nice, a little hard to understand with the mask, but we trusted his decisions and I’m glad we did. That meal was incredible!

    The service here was very good and seating was quick. The people here are very friendly and menu has plenty to offer. I’m sure I’ll be coming back here in the future for different events. The prices are a bit much but you do get what you pay for.

    We opted to get in and out quick during this visit so we passed on the table side hibachi. The food was amazing and the service was spot on.

    Very good place and nice atmosphere. It’s a very good place to go with groups too and the food is pretty decent. I’m impressed how quickly the food was made and the quality of the food was not bad. We had ended up sitting in the non hibachi part of the restaurant which had a nice atmosphere. Server was helpful and kind but spoke fast. The food as is expensive as you would expect at a higher end restaurant

    Visiting from San Antonio to attend my son's graduation from Great Lakes. Saw this spot and decided to stop. There was a group of guys at the bar extremely loud and cussing, lk come on I couldn't even enjoy a conversation at my table bc they were so loud. They belonged at a bar not this place with that behavior. With that said the food was good, service was nice. OH! Leaving there was a BUNNY, in the bushes. Omg it was so cute 😍 I'm assuming a pet bc this area is pretty busy.

    Had the garlic shrimp half the plate was garlic , too much garlic for my liking. We got a small portion of shrimp. Pink dragon Sushi and Soup was good .sushi was probably the best. Calamari appetizer was half vegetables and maybe 2 pcs of calamari. Recommend the hibachi sirloin steak, which has a bigger portion of meat.

    Came here for Christmas Eve dinner and it was awesome! We love the egg sauce and always have to get an extra side of it.

    Terrible service as far as waitress, cooc was ok. Automatic gratuity included in the bill, even though not deserved by the waitress. Our clothes smelled like smoke, poor ventilation. No kids menu, really? No fried noodles, kids were very upset... Martinis waaay too sweet. ..

    This is our favorite hibachi / teppanyaki place. So much better than anything else. The sauces and rice are absolutely amazing. The mustard and teriyaki are unreal. Everything is good. This is the only place my wife gets scallops. They are a sleeper. VERY good. Always plenty to take home for leftovers for me. The best.

    Love Tsukasa. One of my favorites restaurants for sushi. The sushi platter, individual sushi roll combinations, and soft shell crab never fail to disappoint. Also the fried strawberry cheesecake is awesome also. Highly recommend.

    The vegetable dinner was perfect with soup and fried rice. Wonderful chefs are entertaining with the flipping and flopping of food being tossed in the air & into the mouths of seating guests. 😆 Absolutely perfect for family and friends delicious dinner!

    We ordered vegetarian fried rice, which came with a soup bowl and salad bowl. Very delicious. Food was enough .Do try the Saki!

    Let me please preface my review. I have been going to Tsukasa since before it moved to its current location. It is by far, one of the better hibachi restaurants in America. The food is always on point, the service is always good, and the chefs always are happy and energetic. The one we had was Max and he has been working at Tsukasa for 20-years. He is an awesome cook. There was a group of 4 of us celebrating my birthday and another group of 3 gentlemen. We had a wonderful bottle of cold Sake and the meal proceeded. Great soup, salad with Miso dressing (Best dressing in that style anywhere), and then the appetizers. We had a huge sushi roll, Golden Shrimp, and a few other things. Our mains were all combinations. I had the Golden Lobster and Filet combination with fried rice. You get soo much food there that want to be wheeled out. Everything was delicious. Armando, the manager made sure we were all taken care of well I will be definitely coming back in the future for years to come!

    The food was delicious! We got the combination dinners. So much food. I love the variety of options they had for side orders. The chef did some different style tricks compared to some other similar places I have visited. They accommodated an allergy nicely. Beautiful atmosphere. Love the Koi pond outside. Clean bathrooms too.

    We had a reasonably good evening and the Chef was certainly highly skilled and entertaining. Enjoyed the theatre of the flames and cookery at the table. Overall a decent night but a little on the expensive side.

    Amazing experience. Went with a work group and this was my first time there. Everything was so good! My only, if any complaint, is that they give you a ton of rice to try and fill up on the little portion of meat on your plate. But otherwise the quality and taste of the food was absolutely divine! Will be going again.

    Man this place has gone downhill, at least tonight it has. Our server seemed to hate her job, never once did she ask us if the food was good, never did she ask us to refill water/soda... we went to the bar to get our own refills. We ordered a cocktail... with a nearly empty bar it seriously took 15 min for a Titos/Sprite only to discover it had been sitting there the whole time, she totally disappeared. The food was so so. We sat in the bar. Probably won't be back.

    Is a place I defintely go visit again. The experience was really awrsomeThe Gyoza was really good, California Rolls fire. The steak was really awesome. The Noodles are not that great.

    Hibachi was a fun experience. The chef was awesome, and the food was delicious! I'd highly recommend the chicken teriyaki and the fried rice. The number of hibachi tables they have is incredible. With so many tables, you can keep watching the chefs cook, even when your own food is done. Will definitely need to make a repeat visit the next time I'm in the area.

    Great atmosphere and service. The food was so good as well. Especially the fried rice 🍚 😋. I could get fat on that alone and be very happy.

  • 4/5 MJ C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was very good. We had the Pink Dragon (super yummy), Yellow Ferrari (would make a meal of these by themselves) , Kraazy (yummy) and Tsukasa (ok enough) Also an order of Teriyaki Steak (didnt think the steak was all that tender) Service was attentive and one order of nigiri- unagi was DELICIOUS and a nice size for $4.00 a piece

  • 4/5 Amanda G. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience. It was crazy busy and we were very lucky to be seated in the grill area (they have a separate area with just tables, no show). No physical menus. Servings are on the small side so I would not say you get what you pay for. Overall, a good time but I wouldn't make this a regular thing.

  • 5/5 Jenny B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience. The chef was funny and engaging. This place is excellent if you have a big party. We had 11 in our group. It was very spacious and not close to the surrounding tables like other restaurants that I have been to. The food was delicious, and the selection is comparable to other teppanyaki grill restaurants.

    Food 4.5 stars Staff 5 stars Environnement 5 stars Price $$$/$$$$ I feel like this place is definitely going for the higher-end restaurant feel. Staff returns frequently to make sure we had the items we needed. The food was good. What's worth pointing out is that their food presentation is less than what I expected which, as an eat-a-lot foodie 😋, I don't care too much about (I care about taste the most), though I definitely noticed the difference immediately when I see the food on the table. It's kinda hard to make them appealing in the photos... (All of my photos in reviews are without filters of course...) For these food, we (2 people) spent 109 dollars (tip not included). There were a small salad and a small soup that I didn't take a picture of. They were very small and came with the steak plate. Loved the fried rice btw...
