    When you go to a restaurant like this you are getting “dinner and a show.” The food will be of good quality and the staff is highly trained to be accommodating and efficient. Tanaka does not disappoint.

    Excellent service. A bit smoky near the end as the restaurant became busier. Good value.

    Staff were BRILLIANT. Treated us amazingly and went above and beyond with our baby daughter too. I couldn’t praise them enough. We were worried it wouldn’t be child appropriate there but the staff were fantastic. Thanks for the little toy for our baby too.

    We had the absolute best experience! Two moms with six kids, and they treated us like royalty!!! The food was amazing and soooooo worth it. The entire experience was a show and kept the kids entertained the entire time - our waiter and the chef catered to our group and made us feel so special.  The manager went out of her way to get the kids goldfish as an appetizer to start and multiple times came over to play with the kids!  this is a must do with the family! The food was top-notch and the entire restaurant is there to make your night 10 out of 10!

    The experience really depends on the people at your table , as far as the participation and interaction with the chef. It’s a standard theme with the cooking tricks and presentation of the food. Here in California we have something similar called Benihana. Food is a little pricey but what you’re really paying for is the ambiance and cooking experience. If you have a really good chef that’s 85% of your experience if not then hopefully the people at your table are fun and full of laughs. It’s a try once type of thing for celebrations or if you have never been before. Overall it was a good way to spend the last night of my vacation in Hawaii… oh one thing to mention about making reservations. I don’t know open table allows you to book reservations for this restaurant at 9 pm when it closes at 9pm. I booked mine at 830 pm and they were closing up as I was still eating ….. so double check what time your tanka closes before booking the later times, if not then 730pm or 800pm would be the primo times
