Tokyo Japanese Steak House

Can a Japanese restaurant owned by Vietnamese and staffed by Mexicans be any good? Depends. The entertainment factor is definately high. Your kids will certainly love it. Anything with fire should amuse the children. Although they had better be abnormally good kids because it isn't cheap.
As to the food, if you are looking for good Japanese cuisine, may I remind you, this is Waterloo, America. It is good, as Americanized restaurants go. They even have 99 cent sushi night on Mondays, but yakisoba have they not. Your two choices are teppanyaki or sushi. For those of you who don't know what teppanyaki is, you should certainly try it at least once. You sit at a table where they cook the food in front of you. The chef performs various antics while cooking, like throwing the egg that goes into your fried rice into the air.
Sadly though, there is no real Japanese food to speak of. And to be honest, the owner lady kinda scares me. Just listen and you can occasionally hear her screaming at the kitchen staff. If I worked there, I would need therapy.

May not be authentic, but it's my family's favorite. Even their salads are more delicious than most other places. The normal steak option is always a bit dry though, so opt for filet mignon if you can.
