Banzai - Temecula

Without a doubt, this is the best Japanese restaurant my family and I have ever visited. The owners, who are also the chefs, are a wonderful family. The food and service are consistently excellent. This has been our favorite spot for several years, and we plan to keep coming back for many more to come! Thank you, Banzai family!

This hidden gem of a restaurant is fantastic! The staff make you feel like family, creating an atmosphere akin to dining at a friend's house. The teppanyaki chef displayed impressive skills in food preparation and worked quickly. Wait times are minimal since the place is usually not crowded. If you want teppanyaki with shorter wait times, this spot is ideal. It may not be fancy, but it's a cozy place to enjoy a lovely meal.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! While visiting town for work, we walked around until we stumbled upon this place, and we had a great time! It’s very kid-friendly, and the steak was absolutely delicious! It’s a family-owned business, and the owners were incredibly nice. We can’t wait to return and enjoy our leftovers, as the portions are generous! Thank you!

I have been dining at this restaurant for over 20 years, and it's hard to express just how wonderful the family that owns and operates it truly is. You always feel at home here. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, the food is consistently delicious and served in generous portions, and, best of all, it's a family-run establishment. I love coming here and often think I should visit more frequently. If you're uncertain about where to go for dinner, this is the perfect spot. They'll make you feel right at home and serve you some of the most enjoyable and tasty meals. Don't wait—go now!

This was my first visit, and I will definitely be returning. We have a toddler, and I immediately noticed how accommodating they are for young children. They had cartoons playing on their TVs to keep our 2-year-old entertained. The atmosphere has a charming old-school vibe, which I really liked. It's clear that this is a family-owned restaurant, and I love supporting that. The food was delicious with generous portions, and all the staff were incredibly friendly. The prices were reasonable as well. We initially considered going to Benihana, but after this experience, I’ll choose this place instead to support a small family-owned business!
