Cons:
"The 'entertainment' provided during the cooking doesn't make up for the poor taste."
"Overpriced circus... You pay to see a bunch of cookers that they bring from Thailand."
"There is a bit of entertainment which is not really necessary and makes the place very loud to enjoy a nice evening meal, in Japanese style."
"The theatrics are a bit much and can put you on the spot."
"Some people like these shows, but they could offer a part for people to just have a meal."
"The clown made a very sharp exit at 3pm."
"Very impersonal and the food was very much the same, all cooked together using the same spices."
