Kampai Restaurante Japonés — Restaurant in Yaiza

Wow disastrous from start to finish. We sat at our table in anticipation of the gastro delights to come... Well the first red flag was my wife's Hibachi soup being delivered to table without cutlery. After waiting for some time we manage to get the waitress's attention to request a spoon. To say my wife was disappointed was an understatement and when I tried it I realised why, a lack flavour, tepid and weak were the immediate impressions of this dish. Alas more was to come.

Despite the restaurant being half empty, we waited an inordinate amount of time for our main dish's which arrived barley warm and without the additional noodles and veg. Again we had to attract the waitress's attention who took some noodles from other diners who were having a chef's display, totally amateurish.

On trying our meals, my wife's duck had been over cooked with a dry texture and zero tenderness. Worse was to come, my dish (Secret Pork) was more pork fat than meat that was so chewy I could not eat it. The bill was extortionate at over £90.00 for such pour service.

Not what we expected, the only good thing about this experience is that we will not put ourselves through it agin at this...

Sadly was never able to make it. I refused to attend after trying to talk to a gentleman about the time of my booking. The chap simply said ‘you have to wear long trousers’. I obviously have the voice of a person that would wear swimming shorts to a Teppanyaki restaurant! Hopefully if you go there the food is good. Sounds like they are taking themselves a little too seriously OR they (maybe fairly) favour hotel guests vs outside reservations....

Tried to book a table and they were extremely rude so we didn’t dine. We could apparently only book at 7pm (who eats at 7pm in Spain?) a week out. And then we called and they asked us if we’d be wearing long trousers - it’s December, obviously?! Would have loved to have eaten here if they could have been helpful and polite...
