Birthdays are a time to celebrate...however, after you hit a certain point sometimes they are not as fun anymore! This year, my husband Luke and daughter Reese took me to Tsukasa, one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Tsukasa is a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook the food right in front of you. I have to say; it made turning another year older a little more bearable!
In the past when we have gone to Tsukasa it's always been on a weekend night, this time we went on a Tuesday night so we were able to get a table right away which worked out nicely since bringing a 2 year old to dinner is already a challenge. We shared our table with another family with four young kids. It was fun to chit chat back and forth.
We ordered our food and waited a few minutes as the first course arrived. You start out with soup. It is a broth soup with a little bit of noodle, onion and mushroom. It is delicious, After the soup everyone gets salad as well. It is a simple salad, however, the ginger dressing they put on it is so good. I ate my salad and most of Luke's as well (he had to give in to me since it was my birthday)!
Once everyone had finished their soup and salad the chef arrived to start cooking our main courses. They put on a great show for both the adults and kids with lots of tricks to keep you interested. Our favorite part is when the chef is cooking the vegetables and gives everyone a try catching a piece of broccoli in their mouth. One by one he flings a piece of broccoli through the air towards you and everyone claps and laughs as you try to catch it in your mouth. After three try's the chef gave up on me.
For the main course, you can have white rice or fried rice. We ordered the fried rice, which in my opinion is the best part of the meal. They use a really sweet teriyaki sauce that makes it taste very unique. I ordered the Sesame Scallops and Luke ordered the Hibachi Steak. You also get a big serving of mixed vegetables as well. The sauces they give you to dip the meat and vegetables in are really good too. They give you ginger sauce, a mustard sauce and you can also get teriyaki sauce.
The food was amazing, it doesn't get much fresher than that, right off the grill onto your place and the show was fun. It definitely kep Reese entertained throughout our entire dinner which made it a lot easier.
Luke discretely mentioned to our waitress that it was my birthday, so shortly after dinner, all of the staff came over to the table with a big pineapple dessert and sang Happy Birthday to me in Japanese. They also took a picture for you to take home with you.
I have to say it was a great birthday and a great experience at Tsukasa. Not only is the food wonderful and the service great, but getting to see the chef cook right in front of you and entertain you makes it a fun experience for all. I can't wait to go back again soon!
