The food was decent. Although one chef was more interactive with his audience with his fire tricks than the other one, the services were attentive from the wait staff. I could see how they got some negative online reviews or comments from other diners. Yes, they did try to sell more booze to customers, and yes, they did include tip on the bills for you. I didn&#8217;t mind having the tip included in my bill since teppanyaki was such service oriented dining experience, but they should probably had said something on their menu as a policy, so it would not surprise some customers.<\/p>\n<p>I shared the Romance Dinner for Two with a friend, which came with salad, lobster miso soup, tiger prawns, scallops, ribeye usuyaki, AAA tenderloin, fried rice, fried veggies, and ice cream, for $69.95. We also ordered a side order of oysters to share.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140714-104954-38994328.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140714-104954-38994328.jpg\" alt=\"Lobster Miso Soup &amp; Garden Salad @ Gyu King Gyu King Teppanyaki\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lobster Miso Soup &amp; Garden Salad @ Gyu King Gyu King Teppanyaki<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The garden salad and lobster miso were decent and pretty standard. <\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140714-104957-38997017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140714-104957-38997017.jpg\" alt=\"Salmon &amp; Prawns @ Gyu King Teppenyaki\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salmon &amp; Prawns @ Gyu King Teppenyaki<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The prawns and the salmon were okay.
