New Restaurant in Japan

**llama** · 07-18-2007

Does anyone have any info concerning the new restaurant in Japan - I made an ADR for it today - as we always enjoyed Teppanyaki Grill - but honestly, I couldn't understand half of what the CM who was making the ADR told me about it.

Our ADR is for the 2nd week of Sept. - I don't even know if it's open yet - but was told it would definitely be open in Sept. Will there still be the sushi bar?

When booking dining reservations for September, I was told that Teppanyaki was in rehab right now, but would be opening under a new name, Teppan Edo (just a sec... let me check and make sure that's right). She said that it was the same restaurant, just with a new name.

I'm not sure about the specifics of the new restaurant but Allearsnet.com says that it will re-open on August 21st. I'm just upset that I won't be able to experience the new restaurant on my upcoming trip. Oh well, another reason to plan another trip.

I was told it would reopen after being remodeled on the 20th or 21st of August (either way it was a day late for our trip)

with a new name, Teppan Edo, but would basically be the same style hibachi food. I think I read somewhere they were going to expand the lounge/sushi bar.

I kept hearing rumors that they were planning to open earlier than originally expected, but every time I would call they would not accept ADRs until the 20th or 21st. Maybe we will get lucky and get a walk up if they do open while we are there.

...or guess I'll have to wait till next trip.

that's good. they really needed to expand the sushi bar..

**llama** · 07-19-2007

Thanks for the info - I really hope they've expanded the Sushi Bar!

**WishUponAStar** · 07-19-2007

Yeah, I asked when I called to make our November ADRs and I got the impression it's still going to be the same concept just updated and refurbed. Also, from what I heard it might have a more 'modern' streamline Japanese look. Which would be so cool.

gatour · 07-19-2007

They are expanding it off to the right as you face the pavillion. It will still serve the same cooked in front of you food. Also there has been reports of sushi. My guess they will be putting in a normal sushi bar and seating area.

MickeyMcFizzle · 07-19-2007

I so want to try this place in my Jan trip!

I have an ADR for the 22nd. If I can manage to bring the laptop I'll try to send a review.

Thanks - that would be terrific!

Everyone,
I just got off the phone with Disney and they still list the opening as 10-15. Mouseplanet, which is a VERY reliable source, had in their weekly update Monday that the date has been pushed back until 11-1. If ANYONE knows of the date change, I would GREATLY appreciate it. WIfe and I have reservations for 10-26 and it is my wife's 2nd favorite restaurant behind LeCelliar. I know the CM don't always have the best communication, so I am hoping someone on here can help.

Thanks in advance,
Jay & Monica

Soundgod · 08-19-2007

Even if it was your wife's 2nd favorite restaurant, you need to remember that this is opening as Teppan Edo, with pretty much a new menu, and who knows how many of the old staff.
Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.

Teppan Edo is scheduled to open the 15th, but because of the mess that happened this time bookings aren't allowed until November. We hope that it will be open by the 15th but right now our official line is that it will reopen in the fall. It has been a bit of a nightmare over here too!
