The green tea ice cream for dessert...
A full block away from valet parking/parking garage. Into Harrah's, up one escalator, down another. Interesting entry over a Japanese-style arched bridge. Nicely decorated, two large-screen TVs showing a football game, but no sound which was fine. Our party of ten was seated at a grill with room for 12, so there was plenty of room.
Interesting menus: at the 4:30, 5 and 5:30 seatings, there's an early bird menu with two kinds of chicken, several seafoods and filet mignon. Those items are not prepared by the teppanyaki chef but in the kitchen. They are about half the price of the regular teppanyaki dishes, but include the same miso soup, cucumber salad, shrimp or calimari appetizer, stir-frieg vegetables, and dessert. The early-bird tempura chicken was quite good. The other early bird chicken dish ordered was forgotten until after the meal. It was then brought out with apologies. The green tea ice cream for dessert was excellent.
Those who ordered teppanyaki meals were very satisfied. Their meals also included miso soup, cucumber salad, shrimp or calimari, stir fried vegetables, and dessert. The filet mignon was prepared to he correct doneness, the paper-wrapped salmon very good, and the chicken fine. The albacore tuna was very rare. The fried rice, extra, was prepared on the grill and served deftly with great panache.
Three Japanese beers were available, Kirrin, Sapporo and Asahi and in small and large sizes. No soda refills were offered and the bar/table was cleaned of used dishes only sporadically. Some used dishes were just left.
Ichiban offers a free birthday dinner for locals on their birthdays with a party of four or more. Including our birthday celebration, we were aware of many other parties celebrating birthdays on this Sunday evening.
The noise level was what you would expect with multiple teppanyaki chefs tending to ten or more groups.
