PIRKA, TEPPANYAKI — Restaurant in Niseko

I really dislike leaving bad reviews but this experience left a bitter taste on my mouth.

My 9 year old son and I were excited by our first teppanyaki experience. I suppose our experience was more of a chef and customer interaction. Instead we just watched an elderly gentleman prepare a meal for us.
