Dai Ichi Japanese Steak house — Restaurant in Warner Robins

Almost everything about this place dissonates my cognitivitalities. I'll skip the talk about the weird layout of their parking lot... and go right to the "meat" of the problem--The chicken in the bento was VERY dry and the steak was well done (which was not what was ordered... I said medium) but the kids liked the shrimp noodles.

After getting the kids plates sorted, I had to distract myself by gazing around the store. There's not a lot to look at but I immediately felt something was somehow... off. The decor looked a flea market broke in and drunkenly trashed the place. The layout was bizarre, I felt like I was in a small American diner from 30-40 years ago and that I should've just ordered a coffee, black, with 2 sugars, and a slice of the key lime pie. Except that I was afraid of what that might taste like when accompanied by the signature "house" sauce (pssst..i was told it was thousand island).

The environment in the restaurant is calming and familiar- it's akin to eating at a friend's home. A close friend who invites you in and immediately offers you a drink and some television to watch while you both chill on the couch waiting for the the delivery you ordered. The hosts here have always been kind and attentive- they are why the intimate environment if this restaurant works so well! If you want real Japanese teppanyaki made by people who love their town- then Dai Ichi is the...

We were looking for a nearby restaurant to the hotel and found Dai Ichi. The restaurant is in an odd spot, wedged between a car dealership and immediately in front of a storage facility. We arrived just before 6, and it was seat yourself. The menu isn't huge by any measure, but it has enough for a decent variety, including bento and hibachi offerings.

We both ordered hibachi dinners; salmon, shrimp and scallops, which include soup and small salad. Everything arrived in a reasonable time. The only thing off was that the rice was a bit firm, but other than that, it was good. The prices are fair and the portions large, thanks to a lot of...
