NOTE: This video is not sponsored, I paid for this meal in full. But Barry was able to ensure that he got to cook for us. Thanks Barry!
Tanaka of Tokyo Restaurant
During my visit to Honolulu, Hawaii to visit family I started posting some photos on Instagram. I got a message from Barry, who is a world renowned teppanyaki chef expert - he’s even traveling the world teaching how to cook teppanyaki. So when he asked if I would come in to the restaurant he works at, and he would do the cooking, I knew it would be a great opportunity - not only for the food but for the amazing cooking skill.
Tanaka of Tokyo is Japanese teppanyaki restaurant in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. There’s an interesting history surrounding teppanyaki - it’s a Japanese meal, although it was invited to cook Western style. Funny thing is, it’s more popular outside of Japan than in Japan, and I’ve never even had it in Japan. So this was my first time to really have a proper teppanyaki meal.
I asked the waitress what she recommended and it was a set that included lobster, steak, and scallops, plus some Hawaiian style poke to begin with.
Our entire teppanyaki meal was extremely entertaining. The food was delicious and very high quality, but the cooking and show was a highlight. Our whole family enjoyed it from the start to finish. Barry is an amazing chef and he has incredible knife and fire skills!
Eating teppanyaki at Tanaka of Tokyo is not a cheap meal, but you not only pay for the food, but for the entire dining show.
Total price - $213.30
Special thanks to Barry for his amazing cooking!

[@hojokolomono1]

To all the people saying that Barry should have picked up the bill, it's totally possible that Mark picked up the bill as a 'thank you!' to the chef and manager of the restaurant. He just seems like a nice guy like that.

[@Vi3tKid420]

all the people bitching about Barry. Well barry is a phony so i hope every idiot on social media learns that everyone behind an account is fake in some sort of way. And everyone who complained about barry not picking up the bill, well gues what? You fucks couldnt even afford to eat this anyways so stfu! lol

[@deninelynch9556]

Why should he pay him to say thank you? Thank you for inviting me is sufficient. Even leave a tip. But if I am invited then they pay. Period!

Just WOW! Barry is the king of his art and his art has huge cultural impact its a gateway to the rest of the USA.What a welcome! The food is spectacular,I think I gained weight just watching. In all dinner and a show.

When he said that he'd been cooking for 16 years; I was shocked. I thought he was all of 20 years old. He's quite talented, and now I want to go to Ichiban for dinner.

[@Sunshineflowers618]

My daughter's 14th birthday was in January so we treated her to a local hibachi style grill at a nice Japanese restaurant in our town. We watched another table before us where the chef was a very experienced older man who told jokes, and was very skilled. He was entertaining to watch. When we were seated, our chef was not experienced. He looked to be about 22 yrs old and was probably the son of one of the staff. He dropped his utensils, and was clumsy in his delivery but we still had a good time and my daughter loved the entire experience. Our chef enjoyed squirting liquid from a bottle into people's mouths at the table. I kept saying that I wished Mark Wiens would do a hibachi video, then a couple of weeks later, this video came out.

[@paulson2008]

[@johnbingham3358]

For all those who are commenting on the Tab not being picked up by Barry............ Please read below: Barry wrote only come to my Teppanyanki " space" restaurant... Tanaka of tokyo and i will cook for you. Did not mention 'this is my restaurant'. It was mark who read it lound that his restaurant. please do not blame the chef. He was a cheerful guy and i liked him. VIP treatment is all about how you look after your guest. I have seen other Teppanyanki restaurants where the chefs are only cooking and entertaining. Not interacting with the guests. VIP treatment is all about personal attention and listen to your needs, make you feel good. A chef who works in a teppanyanki cannot afford to pick up a tab. I am damn sure if it was his restaurant (1) he would not have cooked, (2) he would not have allowed mark to pay the bill (3) all subscribers and visitors would not have seen the nice cutlery skills of Barry!! I think it was barry who came to Mark Wiens to entertain in lieu of another chef. That itself is a VIP treatment and respecting Marks presence. Remember Mica enjoyed even though he did not eat anything except the tea icecream LOL. :-)

[@theorphan9700]

Appreciate the explanation but it's not needed. I don't see how anyone can expect to eat a meal like that , 'on the house'. Even if someone offered that to me I would politely refuse and pay myself. Every once in awhile it's good to get out and splurge a bit in a great atmosphere with your family. An entertaining approach to fine dining and the food cooked superbly. Great video!

[@jennylakhram7688]

I requested Chef Barry but unfortunately, they said he no longer works for the company. They provided us with another amazing chef and my entire family enjoyed an amazing meal and show. It was such a great dining experience and the Kotobuki was siiiccckkk delicious! We will be back again soon! Thank you again Mark we love watching and following your eating tour around the world! And we absolutely love Ying and Micah!!!
