    Food was nice but what made it great was the entertainment. Staff were very attentive and involved everyone

    This is just not my type of place. Entertainment element is very good indeed. Just open your mouth, these guys are good enough to through food in, most of the time, unless you fancy to take an active part. The food can be and is better in places without this kind of entertaiment. And if you are sitting between two tables, there is not much space for others to squeese through, so expect your chair to be kicked. The part when everyone of company of 12 orders is a bit hectic, some of us paid twice less than others but the food wasn't that different. The bill was high. Don't get me wrong, great place to have fun with food. We had. But if it was my choice I'd go elsewhere.

    Our second visit here, and just as good as the first. The food is great, however it's the live cooking that steals the show. Absolutely fantastic, well worth a visit. Very reasonably proved too.

    Have been here twice now. Both times it is to attend other people's birthday celebrations. The lunch time visit was lacklustre as hardly anyone was there and so it lacked atmosphere. The set menu was £18. The starters turn up so quickly you wonder how long the food has been sitting there. The chef then cooks the other carefully measured portions in front of you. Entertainment is watching people try to toss an egg into a chef hat. We visited again last week in the evening. It was fully booked and so there was more atmosphere. However it is so expensive. Again the starters arrived so quickly. Trying to get the chicken off the wooden skewers is hard and because the skewers are burnt, you end up eating half of them. The scallop shell has slivers of fish in it with a mayonnaise type sauce. There are 3 king prawns each. Small amount of chicken teriyaki and steak and a bowl of rice and bean sprouts. This wouldn't be too bad if you had the evening to sit and enjoy it but it is all done and dusted in 1 hour. They hover around to get you out and to be honest you might as well leave as there's nothing else doing. The entertainment is exactly the same and it's all a bit corny. It's very hard to be negative when someone else loves it but I think it's appalling to pay £35 to virtually have food shoved down your throat. It's either that or eat it stone cold with them asking every 2 minutes if you're finished. It was also very cold sitting by the door on the first table on the right. Give it a miss!

    Fantastic atmosphere and great to see the food cooked infront of you and to be involved with it. The steak was slightly overcooked, but not enough for me to rate this place less than 5 stars. We are already looking forward to going back.

    One of the best places I’ve ever been, you can book for your special celebration like birthday, I did and I was amazing. Lots of fun you can do as well

  • 5/5 Paul S. 2 months ago on Google • 92 reviews New
    Not the cheapest of places but you are going for the experience as much as the food. Having said that, the food is really good and there is plenty of it. We were there for a Christmas banquet and all had a good laugh.

    Food is cooked in front of you at a tepenyaki station. Very entertaining and the food was beautiful. Worth a visit and very reasonably priced

  • 5/5 Stuart Loraine N. 3 months ago on Google • 84 reviews New
    Had family up from London to celebrate an early Christmas . The chefs that cook and serve the food are real characters, from flipping eggs from the hot cook plate into their chef hats, then getting you to try.....ha ha. Or getting you to catch food in your mouth...Haa. I succeeded in none of these. But the food is delicious and the menu is extensive. There is also a wide range of drinks. If you want to enjoy a meal with a difference this is the place. BUT YOU MUST BOOK.

    Great tasty food and very entertaining with chefs cooking food in front of you. If you want microwave mcgeap, head to spoons

    Fantastic experience. Eddie, our chef, was excellent. The food was delicious, especially the prawns, I don't usually like hot prawns but they were amazing.

    AVisit here is as much entertainment as it is food. Thr food is cooked on a hot plate upfront of you and it is quite entertaining watching the chefs at work. You can be involved if you want and the chef during the coirse of the meal will have someone up to flip an egg I'm the air and catch it in the chef's hat or if you ate adventurous anough will launch a bit of egg at you from the hotplate for you to catch in your mouth. I've yet to see anyone not enjoy themselves here. The food is nice and by the end I always feel full, so not one of those places you go home starving. The atmosphere is brilliant and the staff very attentive unlike some places where they avoid your eye. To be honest I can't fault the place but it isn't exactly cheap with meals from £36 to £56 per person.

    Super fun and great quality food. First time here and had a very fun night. The chefs are skilled and keep you engaged in the process. They involve you in some fun games along the way too. If you can go as a bigger group it will help with your enjoyment. All in all a great night out. We'll definitely be back but will bring a gang of pals with us.

    Awesome visit here after my Mrs took me for a Birthday meal. Its been a while since I've been to Hanahana, and I don't know why. The place has lost none of its magic, superb service and amazing quality food. I wish I had gotten our chefs name to give him a special mention, as apart from the guy being great at cooking, he was charismatic and funny and certainly added to our evening. Awesome.

    Always a great meal here and great entertainment too !

  • 5/5 april k. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked table in advance. Confirmed booking morning of visit. Came with family for my 30th Birthday. Couldn't have been better. All 7 of us ordered meat feast, and the food was absolutley delicious. The chef we had ( sorry I don't think I took a name! ) was incredibly friendly, funny, engaging and entertaining. Our party took up one of the cooking stations, so that was nice to have it quite private. The chef also went out of his way to design a 'happy birthday' sign on the large hot plate for me too. Really good and fun atmosphere for kids-elderly.

    Great experience! Hot 🔥 food straight to your mouth! Selection of meat and seafood fried teppanyaki style.

  • 5/5 Aiden W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, great atmosphere, great food. Had a great night and will definitely be returning. Pricing is very good given the food you get and the quality of service provided. Food was around £35 per head, with a fair few drinks and a small gratuity, the evening for four people came to just over £200. My only regret is not trying this place sooner!

  • 5/5 Katie A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such an entertaining evening. The chef was chatty and involved everyone, it was a great laugh. More than that, the food was exceptional. Would definitely recommend going as a group but still good for couples as well.

  • 5/5 Jay G. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fantastic experience. The Chef was incredibly talented, funny and engaging. The food was indescribably good. I recommend the Steak!

  • 5/5 Heather C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing here. It is all cooked in front of you by talented chefs who engage with you throughout the meal. Booking in advance is recommended as it's always really busy.

    Fantastic food with great interactive entertainment. The chefs are great fun and made a huge fuss over our 14 year olds birthday.
