What a great evening out to this concept restaurant that had the guests involved in every matter of the meal. Terrific service and a great chef named Alex who was so accomplished in his work, he probably could have done this in his sleep. This restaurant will leave you talking about it with other people for the rest of your trip. Definitely back next year.

This place is amazing, the food tastes delicious, the service is excellent, the decor is very nice, and the restaurant is clean. This place by far is the best Chinese on the island, I visit Aruba a couple times a year and this place never fails, amazing...

Great Sushi with friendly service. The mural on the wall was very cool. Very fun place to go as well; you can watch the showman chefs as well. Very enjoyable.

When you first enter the Restaurant you notice a well balanced ambiance, where you can go from having a romantic dinner for two, to a family dinner, to a large group around the large grilling station which is manned by very personable talented chefs.

Our friends ordered the Chinese food we ordered the sushi. It was fresh and extremely tatsty, the Duck was out of this world crispy on the out side and juicy and cooked on the inside.

My favorite from the sushi side was definately the crab salad and the dragon roll.

Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was extremely clean. The prices are moderate to high but you get what you pay for.

The only draw back for me is that the toilet facilities are outside the restaurant in the hotel.

There were 12 of us - we sat at the hibachi table. Food was good - not exceptional but had a lot of fun. The chef was very entertaining and child friendly - he let them all get up with him and help with the cooking.

Good Chinese food. The place was packed. Service was good - friendly and efficient. My choice was marked spicy. I guess that would depend on the diner. I found it mild at best. One person in our party orderd sushi. Great to have so many options. Everyone was happy!

Some of the best sushi I have eaten. The selections are good but evrything we ordered was good. The spicy Tobikko outstabding and a new Super Crunchy roll explodes with flavor. Everything is very fresh and tasty. Kate the waitress was a real charm. This is a weekly stop for the past 5 years. Harold the sushi chef is pleasant and helpful.I recommend the sushi here. The Chinese food is also very good. Will be back again this week.

Our review is based on service at the Sushi bar. The service at the tables was below par (although the food was still good)
The sushi was fresh and well prepared. Last vacation we ate here 3 times over a 2 week period and weren't disappointed on any visit to the bar.

On the island 12/1-8.Found the food to be very tasty & fresh.This is the 3rd year to this place.Only problem was that the hostess wanted to seat us on the aisle that you walk into place saying that the Chinese dining room was full.I took a peak and it was not so I asked to be seated in there which someone else did.I asked him to go back & asked her why she lied.Never got an answer. When I left I gave her a look & she turned away.

Ate here last night with a friend. Had high expectations, but was a bit disappointed. Personnel was friendly, but maitre D only had eyes for tourists, not for us locals. We were in the Chinese section but could "enjoy" the noise (huge gong every few minutes) and the smell from the Japanese teppan part of the restaurant.
Was also disappointed because I asked the waitress how hot and spicy my dish would be. I asked for mild, but it wasn't hot and spicy at all! Meat was terribly sweet. Presentation of the food on the plates was nothing fancy. Finally waited hours to get our check. Food too expensive for what you get. Won't go again.

I come from time to time to the Chinese part and was several times at the Japanese cooking table. The quality of the food was always excellent, the service good as well. At the cooking table the preparation is much better than at Benihana and the food comes all in time. At the Chinese part I took Sissling mignon or Emperor Beef. Very tasty ! Prices are high, but I did get same quality not better, yet at another place.

This was our 8th visit to this restaurant in the JAPANESE section (we have gone to the Chinese food section as well). We are very aware of the "rushed" atmosphere here but this visit was definatley the worst. We had barely sat down when menus we given and orders were taken within "moments" of our arrival. The prices from last year have skyrocketed and we questioned whether this place has priced itself out of our dinning options. We can go to other restuarants for the same money and get a real dinning experience.
The salads were brought about 3 minutes after ordering. We came as a group so we all sat at one table. We had not finished our salad when the soup had arrived. They couldn't even wait until we had finished and cleared away the salad before placing the next course in front of us. The "show" which we had seen many times was definatley not as good as in previous years not was the food.
Knowing that this restaurant basically is an eat and run establishment (last year we were lingering for about 10 minutes after we paid the bill and they asked us to leave) we chose to come here on our travel day as we would be tired and hungry. However, sadly, with their price increase we don't feel we can justify the cost vs. the service/food.

A beautiful restaurant if you choose to have teppanyaki grill. Fish tanks and the grills make for an exciting experience. My Wife and I decided to have chinese food. We were led to an empty round room with little atmosphere. We ordered a Pu-Pu platter for two and Blossom's fried rice. The food was great but the portions very small. Disappointing. If we go back we will be dining in the teppanyaki grill room.

The food was OK and the chef at the Japanese communal table was mildly entertaining. My beef is with the menu.
Outside, the posted menu we looked at before going in prominately listed an "Early Bird" special. When we went inside, the menu we were given didn't have anything about an "early bird" on it even though we were there way before the 6:00 PM time stated on the menu outside. When I asked the waiter why we couldn't get the lower price, he said we had to order the "Kids Meal" to get the lower price. Talk about a bait and switch. I felt like leaving but we were hungry and ordered the Kids meal/early bird anyways but felt cheap doing it in front of other diners at the communal table. The chef didn't say anything, but my steak was a smaller portion and was given to me before others ordering the same meal on the "adult" menu.

Amazing meal. I thought it would be just a so-so meal, but we chose this b/c my 15 year old wanted to do it. Best teppanyaki grill meal I have ever had. Our Chef…Alex…was so entertaining. My 15 year old loved it and even the 3 month old seemed to enjoy the show. I had the Chicken and Filet…both were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. You get so much for your money…soup, salad, rice, meal w/ veggies, and dessert. We will def be returning next time.

We were in Aruba celebrating our 40th anniversary with our children and grandchildren and stayed at the Westin. We had dinner at Blossoms and it was wonderful. The chef we had was excellent and really made an effort to include our grandchildren. This is an extremely child friendly atmosphere and we all had a great time. Our party also had sushi on several different occasions and it was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We went for dinner without reservations and were seated promptly. I had the orange beef. The menu listed this as a hot and spicy dish. The sauce was too sweet and not very spicy.
My girlfriend had the beef with garlic sauce. She loved it. The dinners were large enough for 2 meals. We also had the Blossoms fried rice. Very good flavor with a slightly smokey taste.

We chose to sit at a table and have sushi as opposed to hibachi (although those folks looked like they were having fun!). The restaurant was very pretty and the service was excellent! We were given a warm, fragrant wet towel to wipe our hands with at the beginning and at the end of the meal. We ordered the chinese appetizer (pu pu platter type) and shared a variety of sushi for dinner. All was great!! We would definitely return here to eat, passing on the chain style of Benihana!

We stayed at the Westin Aruba during our trip so we ate here twice - once for lunch and once for dinner. Our dinner experince was great. Affordable prices, decent presentation, nice atmosphere (tropical fish, teppanyaki experience, sushi bar), courteous and attentive service staff and overall good food. I will admit during our lunch we ordered sushi and it was not as cold as I generally would like it - it was more room temperature. I think this is a place you should check out and make a decision for yourself. Worth the trip for japapense/chinese.
