Review from Feisty O.

Nothing surprises me at this Japanese restaurant. Very much like Benihana in the States, Edoko has separate teppan tables, sushi bar, and seating area.
The first thing that bothered me about this place is the service. The one waitress there was friendly enough though difficult to understand but it was the food preparation for teppan that took exceptionally long. Once our teppan order was taken, we were left alone for the next 20+ minutes until the teppan chef appears at our range.
The "tricks" the teppan chef performed were nothing I haven't seen before. I ordered the teriyaki vegetarian teppan (which includes miso soup, hibachi shrimp, steamed rice, noodles, and salad. The waitress was quick to point out that my veggie dish will not include the hibachi shrimp...that I still don't understand. Why not...is shrimp considered red meat?? But she also said that if I want the hibachi shrimp, she'll charge me for it! WTF?!?
And I couldn't believe how much butter and oil the chef used to prepare my dish! Vegetables are not supposed to be oily or heavily buttered and it killed the taste of the fresh veggies.
The meal just sat in my stomach like a greasy brick for the next couple of hours. Had to go on a long evening walk afterwards! I had better....
