Tengda — Restaurant in Waveland

After going many times, I have to revise my review. For all of our visits, the sushi chef and food were excellent. My husband loves their sushi. The servers are awesome. Even my appetizers were good. However, the hibachi prepared by the kitchen has deteriorated to unsatisfactory. For several visits, my chicken and shrimp hibachi were over cooked. The shrimps were tough. The chicken, if you could find the tiny pieces, were dried out. The once good fried rice was over cooked, dry and missing egg. Vegetables were small and also over cooked. This last time I sent the plate back. Didn't have to pay for my dish. Really sad that the kitchen has deteriorated cooking hibachi. Maybe going to the hibachi room and having it cooked in front of you is better. If I go back, I'll stick with appetizers.

New visit. This time my chicken and shrimp hibachi was cooked fresh. Substantially better with chicken you could find. Even the rice was better and not overcooked. Would consider going back more often if the quality stayed with fresh hibachi from the kitchen. Their sushi is always outstanding.

Another visit and the hibachi was awesome. Whoever cooked my filet and shrimp did an amazing job. Vegetables were perfect size and tender. Rice was great and not dried out. Filet melted in your mouth and shrimp was not tough but perfect. Hope every visit is this good in the future. The sushi chef if terrific and his rolls are perfect. This visit was five stars!! So was this visit August 23. Sushi chef awesome as always. Service was great. Chicken and shrimp were good sized and plenty of vegetables. Degraded back...

Very disappointed with this place...Waitress pleasant but inexperienced and lacking knowledge of menu...Two couples for dinner, one dinner came out then 12-15 minutes before remaining entrees arrived with no explanation or mention...Additionaly I ordered the Sashimi dinner at around $25.50 asking the waitress if it was possible to substitute whitefish for sweet shrimp, she said she would check and let me know if there was an issue, dinner arrived with sweet shrimp which were tiny...No issue until the bill arrived with a $16. upcharge...Manager traveled from table to table asking how everything was superficially then moving on to the next table before we could answer...When upcharge was mentioned she advised she would provide 2 additional shrimp next time we come in...That will not be happening...Food fair but weak for expensive...

Went in for dinner, and was enjoying the whole experience! Atmosphere is definitely an 11/10, service from our server (Brittany/Brittney) was top notch. She kept everything at a professional server level. From taking our drinks, the 5 or 6 visits between the meal, and even at the end. No flirty junk, no sarcasm, she just kept a smile on her face and her head on a swivel. And alas, the food... Honest opinion, their sushi beats all other sushi places hands down! Black Thunder roll is one of the best, hands down. The combination fried rice is awesome, with fat juicy cuts of steak. All in all, come hungry, and leave with to-go boxes. Definitely gonna make...
