Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm talking about Izumi Hibachi. But with a price tag of over $60 per person, is it actually worth the money?

From the second he arrived, it was non-stop entertainment. We had utensil juggling, bad puns, and of course, the classic food throwing, which Austin was surprisingly good at.

I thought it was a fantastic experience. Now, we've done this a number of times, Austin and I. Uh, this is probably our fourth fifth time. So, this was Independence. It was the best experience we've had with Isizumi.

I give it a 9 and 1 half out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book the Izumi Hibachi experience through the Royal Caribbean cruise planner for a cheaper price.
Get both starters: the salad and the vegetable fried rice.
