We went to celebrate our anniversary with my wife food was great ,until we ask for another drink and the waitress take to long and i ask for the same drink but to another worker who was serving me water. She got my drink and 10 minutes later my original waitress came to talk to me really rude. Questioning me as to why i asked the other employee for the same drink that i had already waited around 15 minutes for. I did not appreciate how she came to talk to me about it, when the solution shouldve been her apologizing for not getting my drink sooner

My family has been going here for years to celebrate special occasions and over time, the “show” aspect has gone down, but the food, drinks and service have been strong. Not any more. The food all tasted the same, the ‘show’ aspect was simply aligning onion slices to make a volcano and lighting the whole thing on fire, including half the veggies. I asked for a knife because the steak and veggie chunks were too large to be bite size. The Asian Pear martini (normally very good in Dublin) was all sweet and sour in Berkeley. The location is nice, but Berkeley has nothing else going for it. We came to celebrate our anniversary with our adult kids and will not be back. I will try Dublin again but this is a huge disappointment.

I took my son to dinner last night and the best part was the service from the waitress. A very pleasant, friendly young lady with braces was the very best part of the experience. That young lady was exceptional,thank you to her! The cook dropped the knife on the floor and continued to use it and after that I completely lost my appetite. (I only ate rice and shrimp due to the knife being dropped)The food was tasty but I think my overall experience was tainted by the cooks actions. I paid in full and even left a tip but I definitely don’t believe I would ever return and spend my hard earned money here.

The restaurant needs uplifting and is old. The food was boring and nothing about it was Japanese. They used tons of butter to ' flavor ' the food to make it taste rich. Overall, it was bland food for what it costs.

Chef / Showman Roger brought a lot of enthusiasm and energy to our meal! He was wonderful! We noticed another Roger performance about 2 hours later, and he still seemed fresh and tailored to his audience: a true professional.
