I really dislike places where the staff cooks your food at your table, like, I don't know what to do with myself the whole time so I just awkwardly sit there and wait for them to be done.

[@snowysnowyriver]

Same here. It feels intrusive somehow. You can't have a proper conversation. Just sit in silence and eat. That's no fun at all.

[@Wishphoenix1]

I disagree, i find it fascinating. Although I might dislike it in Japan if you are just supposed to sit there quietly. In the USA where i have had this done i chat with my party or even the chef if it’s allowed.

[@tapestry6455]

different people react to do different style restaurants that is why there is such a variety to choose from, even one that you eat alone with a stuffed animal!

@@markylon ayyo that's so rude! Take your advice, being an adult isn't mouthing off to other people. I can't stand to sit in silence while someone cooks for me, it isn't fun at all. I like to talk or cook for myself so I agree with them

For some reason, dancing bacons is my daughters favourite channel. We always watch your videos together at bedtime, today is her 10th birthday and she was very happy to see a “birthday bacon” especially as the lovely Mrs bacons was involved. We love Mrs bacons 😊

Hi! I enjoyed your channel. I started watching 3-4 years ago when I had struggles with eating. I wanted to eat but nobody to eat with or my experience felt too boring so I watched you guys enjoy your food while I enjoyed mine. It made me feel less alone! Thank you for posting these videos!

[@starlosa]

Whenever I eat alone i like to watch a DB video to make it feel less lonely, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. And I’m proud to hear you’ve gotten past your eating struggles!

[@noxnox7445]

I am Japanese, but reading the comments, I can understand the cultural differences. Not only at this restaurant, but at any restaurant that serves sukiyaki, you can choose to do it yourself or leave it to the waiter. Sukiyaki is always cooked in a controlled manner so that the beef is thin and not overcooked. So, in general, you leave the cooking to the waiter, who will serve you the best possible quality and sometimes chat with the waiter while you eat. Please do not think that the video on KZbin is the whole experience. The price, by the way, is not much different from that of a steak because it is a rare specific part of Wagyu beef. If you lower the quality of the meat, you can get a more reasonable price, and this kind of price is only for special occasions such as anniversaries.

[@laerwen]

Paying that sort of money, I really appreciate how this place cares about their presentation even with just the raw food coming to your table. How the server takes care and attention when they prepare your food, they really take care of you and care about you leaving feeling satisfied! Everything is so elegantly and thoughtfully prepped and you are served in a way that your bowl is never over-filled. So wholesome!

[@markman278]

I love her little dance when the food is REALLY good.

I love that Dancing Bacons goes to so many different kinds of places to eat. This would never be my choice of place to eat for a lot of reasons, but it's really interesting to get to experience it through the eyes of DB. I'm often skeptical about high priced restaurants but it seemed like this was worth it if you like this style of cooking and eating.

[@ms.t7614]

Personally, I would feel so uncomfortable at this restaurant with someone sitting there and cooking for my husband and I. Please just leave us alone to chat and eat. Lol. Love all your fantastic videos!

What i love about these videos are that their soo relaxing and the only sounds you hear are background noises or just general chitchatting in the back, their so nice to have playing on my TV when I’m working on something. Watching it feels like I’m there too, quietly enjoying a lovely meal whether its from a convenience store or a high end resturants. Its all so soothing, Thank you both for making these wonderful videos

[@NimN0ms]

I enjoy these delicious treats through you. Thank you for sharing and this! Also, I really like your editting style - the subtitles and bites of food you show really make me feel like I am tasting the food myself!

[@BioYuGi]

This is a funny concept to me. Hot pot, something that has always seemed so personal, being done for you. Yet, when it's that expensive, I'd also prefer someone do it for me so I don't screw up.

[@LibraMiku271]

It's delightful to see a chef show off their culinary skills to the guests. It would be an experience worth admiring and appreciating their service.

[@pearsrtasty3326]

I went to Japan, back in 89 and stayed with our exchange students' family. I believe she had stayed with our family the year before. So it was me and my mother that went. They had a HUGE family but the father was not there. Not sure what happened. I digress. One of the dinners we had was shabu shabu....and it doesn't take long at all for that to cook. I remember they told us, we are to dance it around the pot with our chopsticks (which I never really learned how to use) and say shabu shabu, a couple times and it was done. WAS REALLY GOOD. I was 9 years. Was a pretty neat experience for a 9 year old American to see all the different culture. :)

[@LeanneKrv]

For everyone who says it is uncomfortable, I think this kind of places are more suitable for business talk between two or more people who are actively discussing. For people who are looking for casual hangout, there are places where you can grill and cook food yourself and chat freely. But this is just not it.

Even without the usual commentary from Bacons you could tell by the way Mrs Bacons did that little dance of happiness about the hotpot that it was excellent! I love seeing Mrs Bacons give that little smile and giggle of hers when she enjoys something, it's just so cute

When someone is willing to cook food in front of you, it means you know exactly what you are putting in your body. It's an experience not meant for everyone. Personally I see this type of dining as a treat. If you appreciate excellent food and the effort that goes into it, then this type of place is for you.

Good Chefs don't hide anything when they are back there in the kitchen either. It's just awkward when you have a couples night out and you got the cook at your table like that

Kudos to your patient to wait the dish to be cook by the server. I personally couldn't really enjoy your situation, because not only I have to silently wait my food to be done, the portion for such a big money seems not worth it.
