Creator's Key Takeaways

it's the best teppanyaki we've had we said we've been to probably 50 or 100 of these tons of temporary experiences this is the best one we've ever been to hands down

i would i would highly recommend skipping the meal prior to your visit to banzai teppanyaki

the fact that we're comparing shaq's big chicken to chick-fil-a tells you how good it is

rudy's great so if you wanna and if you get on and he's still on the ship i don't know how long he'll be on the ship but you're gonna love talking to rudy

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Bonsai Teppanyaki as soon as you get on the ship because it fills up fast.
Skip a meal before visiting Bonsai Teppanyaki due to the large amount of food.
Make reservations early for all specialty restaurants as they will fill up.
