Just a suggestion: If you are thinking about going to House of Japan, do it for somebody's birthday. You would be shocked at the number of times that the waitresses came out with a bowl of pineapple sorbet while beating on a drum. Not saying it got annoying or anything, it was actually awesome. I was there with my family for about an hour and a half, and, sure enough, there was six, count 'em, SIX birthdays. Once you sit down at one of the rectangular tables where the grill is right in front of you, the waitress quickly collects drink orders and brings them out with mushroom soup and a side salad. Both were very tasty, especially the soup's broth and the salad's dressing. The broth tasted warm and refreshing, while the dressing was sweet with the taste of ginger. I ordered filet mignon and chicken with fried rice and, as a family, we split some scallops. Now for the best part.
Full Plate, Great Food |
The chefs' skills are crazy. They are absolutely amazing. One of the coolest things that they do is stack up raw onion rings and have fire shoot out the top. You have to be there to see it, because it is quite entertaining.
As for my overall meal, the chicken, fried rice, vegetables, and scallops were all great. The filet was a sliver below great, but still very tasty. The best bite included a piece of chicken, some rice, and some veggies, all dipped in a sauce that tasted like it was mustard-based. The meal was great and I would recommend House of Japan to anybody. It is a great 'special occasion' restaurant, because you usually see your food being cooked right in front of you. My brother was very pleased that he could have his birthday dinner at House of Japan, he thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
