Reviews of Daikoku Albany
"Can't imagine the poor attitude of the waiter! I recently came to this restaurant for dinner, but some of the details of paying for the meal drew contemptuous looks and expressions from the waiter. The Chinese male waiter plopped down at the counter to watch my family check out and leaked a look of disdain as he walked away. I have to say the flavour and ambience of the restaurant was fantastic but the Chinese waiter, who was about 185cm male, was really awful. Made me and my family experience very disappointing. Suggest expecting to come to Albany might as well go to Daikoku in takapuna."
"Amazing service by Chef but lady at reception customer service not great. The food was delicious."
"Wheelchair parks NOT avail. but it is a HUGE car park, so not an issue to find a space, even on a very busy night. However it's an issue (& was for me) if you need a spot very close to the restaurants, we had to park a good 10min walk away & for myself, who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses, including severe fatigue, my husband had to drop me at the door before finding a park & then come back to pick me up once we'd finished dinner. Wheelchairs have access along the footpath & into the restaurant, however, the hallway down from the very small waiting area to the tables inside is quite narrow, with a large table taking up the entire waiting area, purely designed to sit & drink at. Our party chose to stand as I was the only one that HAD to sit due to my fatigue, so all 7 of us took up all of the waiting area by the cashier, this would be an issue waiting for your table, then having to get down to the seating area, and get around once seating especially and/or if you needed going to the bathroom as the tables are very close together It's quite a spacious restaurant, meaning a lot of tables not area, as they have an indoor and outdoor seating area. No smoking at all of course, that's to be expected, but also no vaping in the outdoor area which I find odd since new vapes give off barely any steam at all. I've had better experiences in terms of more flair from the chef, but of course the chef was very polite/friendly, may not have spoken much English as no matter what you said or asked he just smiled and nodded... Of course as part the Yeppan, he did the flaming onion which I don't get as part of the onion always gets burnt and mostly not cooked, however, this chef cut the onion and cooked it properly. There was of course throwing food to diners to catch in their mouths (or not haha) only 2 people at our table and only 1 from our party of 7 (I actually hate this, so of course declined as I always do, as I prefer to eat my food not have it thrown at my face, though it was entertainment seeing egg on my Bro in laws face hehe) Otherwise food was extremely well cooked and the meat was juicy, even the chicken which at some Teppan places can be quite dry, my Chicken was moist which was a pleasant surprise. Hubby got the steak and chicken set which he said was really well cooked. Everyone else said food was good. Not great but good. Special fried rice tasted like all the "special fried rice" at other Teppan places . I got the chicken and Prawn set.. For the price I was mildy surprised that you get 2 as part of the "set" however for the $20 extra I paid, I got 6 prawns, so $5 each, not sure I would get again even though they're pretty juicy and nicely cooked. Just enough yum yum sauce but since we have that at home we don't find it as "special" as it's a common sauce we use a lot. Though we booked a table for 8, they managed to squeeze 2 more onto our table!! Thankfully for them as I was about to make a HUGE complaint, our party ended up being 7, but it was definitely an 8 seater table!! Yet they squeezed 9 in??! The 2 woman told us how they desperately wanted to eat Teppan there that night, BUT, knowing Our table was for a 60th birthday with best friends it was quite rude to Pack another 2 people in with us and the table was squished & we're not large people either, more on the small side. Thankfully the other 2 were lovely & didn't expect to join in on conversations or as part of our party (I booked for our best friends & my sister + Bro inlaw) I found it interesting & a little odd that the 2 woman said they accepted their booking, BEFORE I even told them that one of our best friends couldn't make it as he only told us last minute. So would they have packed us onto an 8 seater with 10 people?! Out of all the Teppan places in this area.. I would definitely NOT recommend this place, purely due to how quite rude the staff were not just compared to other places but also as they knew it was a significant birthday. Quite disappointed, only upside is they didng charge extra for cake I brought with us."
"Hi guys, Very impressed with the food... I tried fish, steak and chicken as well as scallops and they were all GREAT. The theatricals of our chef was not over the top and the flavour was spot-on. The restaurant atmosphere was great, the staff were very polite and friendly and the prices were ok for the experience you are getting. I Highly recommend it, check out the pics and videos."
