Creator's Key Takeaways

I just finished dinner at the tabanyaki here on the Norwegian Aqua and I have to be honest, it wasn't good.

The miso soup was not what I was used to. It must have been a white miso because it was just overall very sweet.

Overall, I'll give the experience a five out of 10. It just was not good.

I usually really love these tanyaki restaurants. I look forward to the steak there, but I just can't recommend this one.

YouTube Video Description

I’ve been on over 115 cruises, and I rarely give a specialty restaurant a 5/10—but Hasuki on the NCL Aqua was a major disappointment. 🚢 Teppanyaki is usually a high-energy, delicious staple of the NCL experience, but my night at Hasuki felt bland and boring. In this video, I’m breaking down exactly where the experience fell short, from the service to the flavor profile of the main courses. If you are planning your NCL Aqua dining strategy, you need to watch this before you lock in your reservations. Your "Free at Sea" credits are too valuable to waste on a 5/10 meal!
