Ikebukuro Teppanyaki Orca Review Summary

Hands down the BEST teppanyaki I have ever had!! We had the lobster + black wagyu seven course set. We were so full! It was super nice to see chief book in front of us and introduced the dishes. Premium quality food and awesome atmosphere. Great for intimate date night or celebration. Make sure to make reservations online.

quality and standards has dropped since my last visit. The food was still enjoyable but has abit more to be desired. The chef's cleanliness is questionable.

Excellent food and very courteous staff

This was the first meal of our trip to Tokyo!
I had it for weekend lunch due to schedule.
The course was solid at a very reasonable price, so I was satisfied and full. I was looking forward to what dinner would be like again!

Even though I didn't understand the language very well as a foreigner, they tried to explain as much as possible and treated me kindly, so it was a pleasant experience. All the staff were really friendly. I would like to visit again next time I come to Tokyo.

Chef Meitoma's cooking was really delicious! What's more, they made a special extra batch of potatoes, which I like, which made me really happy. I felt very satisfied.

However, what was a little disappointing was the customer service of the young female staff. To be honest, I thought a regular cheap izakaya would provide much better service. Even though the door is heavy, customers don't open it when they enter, so they just stare inside. Even when we ran out of water, they didn't come to refill it, and even when we had an empty drink, no one called out to us. Overall, I felt like the customer service training was not done properly.

The food was great, but I think it would be even better if the service was better!
