Reviews for OTANI Japanese Steak & Seafood in Chantilly, VA

UPDATED REVIEW: previously 5 stars. Gone downhill a lot. I get the filet mignon and scallop hibachi everytime I go. Recently,... the cuts of meat are very fatty and no longer of the quality you expect for $38. It was still cooked perfectly, but the meatitself was worse than discount grocery store. Also, they start mopping the floors over an hour before close so you have to dealwith harsh cleaner stinking up entire restaurant right when your food is ready to eat. I said something to the waitress, howevershe didn't respond with anything other than "sorry." Feels like a waste of $120 for dinner date that could have been spentelsewhere. Read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Includes soup, salad, and ice cream. Chairs seats could have a pad... very hard wood. Not all... the table chefs are equal. Some are better than others. Read more

Hibachi dinner in Chantilly with several options to choose from. Employees were really friendly and accommodating to our 7... person group. It seemed to take a while before our chef came to our table, but once he arrived the food finished quickly. Ichose the hibachi chicken and shrimp. It comes with grilled veggies, lo mein, fried rice and the protein. Fried rice and lo meinwere delicious. Really flavorful and you are provided 3 sauces to use. Both the chicken and shrimp weren't seasoned very wellin my opinion. All that was used was salt and pepper and I usually enjoy more flavorful protein. It was cooked well but I wishthere was at least some kind of spice to it. Other people at my table ordered the steak option and asked for medium rare, butgot medium-well to well-done steak. It was very chewy and not the temperature we asked for. Although our cook was friendly anddid all the fun tricks that you get for hibachi, the food itself could have been better. Read more

Fun atmosphere, great tasting food, great portions (minimum 2 meals worth of food for each entree) and good saki selection. You... get what you pay for, and you get a lot. This is a memorable hibachi experience I look forward to enjoying again. Read more

Clean, super helpful staff, talented chefs, and delicious food. We enjoyed the show and had plenty of food left to eat tomorrow.... They prefer reservations but you can usually make them the day of if needed. I love the salmon and shrimp with fried rice. Read more

UPDATE: Thete is no sushi lunch buffet anymore. But Otani is one of very few restaurants that offer hibachi, cook in front of... you style meals. We took the family there and we had a good time and ate well.. Love the sushi buffet during lunch! Staff isnice and food fresh. Fun place for all Read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! It's my favorite place to splurge on a nice dinner for special days. The food was cooked to... perfection and not dry at all with some great seasoning. The Chefs are incredibly charismatic and funny as well as skilled. Myfavorite part is when they ask to have you catch a small piece of shrimp that they throw at you. That's always good fun for thegroup. Last but not least you get a complementary scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish off your meal. The portions are so bigyou're definitely gonna be taking it home!
