My husband and I went to this restaurant just on the off chance. My husband is Japanese and so I was interested to see what his comments/feelings in regard to this place.
We went on a Friday or Saturday night (cant remember which one)and the place was virtually deserted - not a good start I am thinking. The food on whole was ok but the price for what we got was way over the top. Usually at a yakiniku place you get a good helping of meat and vegetables at a fairly decent price but not here. The service was also relatively slow - surprising given there was only one other table of people.
My husband was very disappointed and so was I with the restaurant overall and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone wishing to try yakiniku. There are better places around which charge less for what you get. My husband does know a good yakiniku place and when he takes me there I will advise those who are interested.
My husband and I took some Japanese guests to Wan Bao and they loved the place. It is very popular and not anymore expensive than the average Japanese restaurant around town. You choose what you want to eat - I recommend taking a look at the various fish and seafood on offer - its quite mind boggling. There is a menu but it didnt seem to have too many prices on there. You can choose where to be seated, in the lobby, up stairs around the balcony overlooking the foyer or in a private room.
Service is good and the staff are friendly. Would strongly suggest making a reservation on weekends because it is popular.
We would be taking guests back there again because everything was really good.
We thought we would try this as it was new on the gourmet scene in Dalian. From the outside it looked pretty nice although there were no customers other than ourselves. You can choose to sit downstairs or upstairs and the staff are friendly and the service is good.
My husband chose the hamburger (200g) set and I chose the steak (200g) set. The set comes with bread, salad, soup, fries, dessert and veges.Customers can choose the sauce to go on top ie garlic, black pepper, Mam Ma Mia special. The main is brought out on grill plates so its still cooking as you eat!
Prices are reasonable although the choices for mains is limited. They also do coffees, Japanese type lunch sets and sweets.
Overall despite the lack of choices, pretty good.
This was recommended to us by a local and we found it to be pretty good. Location is convenient to Youhao Square and its cheaper than the hotpot place across from Yoshinoya. Place was busy with locals and we were seated in a room rather than out in the main dining area.
Food was good and you could choose to have half spicy and half normal soup for the hotpot. It wasnt expensive and the menu has pictures if you cannot read Chinese.
Overall pretty good dining experience and not overly expensive.
Relatively cheap Japanese restaurant with good yakitori. We went early just after opening and by the time we left there were a few people in there. They have party menus and rooms available for large groups. Menu is in Japanese but the staff are friendly and can help if necessary. Average cost for yakitori is around 15 Rmb. Between two of us we spent around 200Rmb and that included two beers each and around six dishes.
Definitely going back!
