My family full of picky eaters loves Friday Tuna. I discovered it by accident … I wanted sushi and stopped in while out running errands. I didn’t understand what the host asked me, and ended up at the teppanyaki grill. Let me tell you, that was one amazing and unexpected lunch! Not only did I have a couple of really nice sushi rolls, but the steak and shrimp teppanyaki was fantastic. (And yes, I had plenty of leftovers to take home!)
I had such fun that I took my sons, both picky eaters, just so they could enjoy the show. Well, they loved it. The show and the food. So when my younger son turned 18, that’s where he wanted to have his birthday dinner. We gathered the whole extended family (all 14 of us) to celebrate. It was awesome and we really enjoyed the meal. They handled our enormous group, which included 5 children under the age of 6, with skill and competence. The chef even let one of the kids play with one of his props (a squeaker chicken)!
My niece, apparently, really loved it. (Surprising, because she is an extremely picky eater. She makes my sons look like undiscriminating omnivores.) She asked to go there for her sixth birthday dinner. We couldn’t all be there (weekday night, and work and school interfered), but 8 of us showed up. The meal was great — the scallops and steak melt in your mouth! — and at the end, they brought out an amazing huge birthday dessert of bananas tempura and mango ice cream. It was awesome.
The people at Friday Tuna totally get customer service, good food, and making meals fun! If you go, ask for “Zay-Zay,” because he is an awesome teppanyaki master!
