That chef was fantastic. Something I've noticed with other places the Bacons have dined, the chef is so busy with the theatrics that the food overcooked, especially the fish and seafood. This chef is all about the food and not the performance, a true professional. ❤

I have been watching these videos for 5 years now, each and every video sparks curiosity and joy in my heart. I appreciate the bacons community so much.

The chef was amazing. He was all about the food.. no craziness or dramatic effects. Just pure talent. Putting out a beautifully cooked meal. Perfection.

What an honor to eat food prepared by this experienced chef! Watching him work was mesmerising. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I started watching your channel in 2020 when I was feeling so overwhelmed I couldnt sleep. Your videos are now part of my nightly routine. I always watch the newest one first so I can actually watch the whole thing before I fall asleep. Thanks for all the videos!!

Sakai isn't playing around, the man is there to cook and it shows. An amazing chef to watch.

I like this chef, he has none of the usual fusiness of arrainging every thing just so.. Just cooking the food properly and getting onto the customer.

The simplicity in the meal is the absolute key. No unnecessary sauces, no flourishes, no waste. It's rare I watch one of these videos and think to myself- wow I'd eat every single bite of that. Very worth the price just to see such an amazing chef at work.

i have chrysanthemum greens (the vegetable at 3:33) growing in my garden - they're delicious and so easy to cultivate! the flowers are really pretty too, i let them go to seed each year and they keep growing back

That looks like a magnificent experience, and congratulations on almost hitting 3 million subscribers.

I enjoy so much learning of Asian culture. I've always wanted to travel there. But, like so many in the US, it's beyond affordable means. Thank you so very much for bringing it directly to us so that we may enjoy as well. It's always amazing!

Wow the last dessert and beverages really made it hit home. I even wanted to sleep as I felt satisfied myself.

Literally about to go to bed, and blamo a dancingbacons video.....WORTH IT!

I love these videos. I hope you both enjoyed a wonderful meal. I always love her smile and nod of approval, she always looks so happy! 😊😊

What a skiled chef. Makes it look so easy. Everything is so neat and tidy. One thing I have noticed about these types of restaurants is that dessert is always very simple, usually some fruit. Is that specific to Japan?

This channel is so comforting. I hope you both thoroughly enjoyed your meal.

I have seen this video three times just for the enchanting way he cooks the food. Pure magic

😍Wow! What a delectable-looking meal! That steak is gorgeous and it seems like they were generous with the amount. In some of your other videos it seems like they give you a tiny amount of wagyu. That's really neat the you were served by a chef who's been doing that for so long. And thank you for showing us the original Teppanyaki location along with how/when it got started. 🙏

I, absolutely, love your content! It is no exaggeration to say that discovering your channel is a gift to me, since Japanese culture & cuisine have always had a very special place in my ❤️. Amazing, truly amazing work. Well done.

I like this chef, swift and efficient. None of the unnecessary banging and tapping of the tools for show. The steak looks awesome.

*TLDR: how/when our first teppanyaki place opened and effected the area. It’s a happy recollection* 😊 In my little neck of the woods we have an teppanyaki restaurant that’s celebrating their 50th anniversary this year!! 😊 Now, for my geographic area that is something to be very proud of. For a bit of a reference, we didn’t get a Taco Bell until 1990…so you see it’s a very small community and quite “stuck in its ways”. In 1973 Kampai, Japanese Teppanyaki opened up and people came from all over the region. I’m in a small area in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania and our most local city area is actually located in upstate New York.. we’re on the border of both PA & NY. So, the restaurant is located about 40 mins from my home. This isn’t a big issue in this area…I mean, the closest McDonald’s is 30 mins away and our first Chinese take out didn’t open until the 90’s. So we’re used to traveling a bit to get anywhere. As well as having limited options for eating out. And…no one delivers. You have to go and pick your food up if you want take out. So when Kampai opened no one was sure it would even last, as the only options at that time were Italian-American offerings and McDonald’s. But it made quite an impression and 50 years later they’re still going strong. The restaurant books mostly by reservation and is only opened for dinner service. They did add a bar area in the 90’s for walk in customers who want to order off their limited “light fare & sushi bar” menu. If you have a group that wants to do lunch service you can still book the restaurant, but there is no walk in service for lunch. My first time eating at Kampai was when I was 6yrs old. My grade 1 teacher was pregnant and leaving for maternity break so her bff/one of the other grade 1 teachers put the field trip together for all of the grade 1 students, teachers and any parents that wanted to attend. It was to celebrate her pregnancy and a farewell party all in one. I ate things that day that I’d never even heard of in my young life. It was so delicious… it left quite an impression on me and it was the start of my love of trying new foods as well as my love of cooking and learning about other cultures through their diet and customs. That day jump started my next 20 years. I ended up working in many kitchens as well as attending culinary school. It’s crazy how we can sometimes pinpoint an exact moment that changed our lives forever. For me that moment was the first time I tasted oyster sauce, at 6yrs old, sitting on the floor of a Japanese restaurant… celebrating my teachers happiness. And so, it’s still my favorite restaurant of all time. ❤ Thank you DB for sharing your experiences and reminding us of special/happy times. I absolutely love all of your content and look forward to every video that you produce. ✌🏻🥰😊

Why is the chef cooking so satisfying

I love these places! Especially when the Chef is more concerned about the food than entertainment!

Looks so good, cant wait to finally try that place.

Can’t help seeing her joy!

Chef Sakai definitely knew his stuff, and cooking with every last bit of everything is a wonderful sight to behold. Efficient, high quality, and tasty is a great combination. Someday, Japan, I shall return to your lovely shores!

Chef is amazing and this is an amazing channel worthy of a sub...so Subbed keep up the brilliant content

Greetings from Austria. Love the content you make watch it for years... whenever my wife sees it, she says "ohh its the nodding gal." Thanks for all the excitement.

Never in a million years was that small offering worth $260. You’ve been had.

Absolutely superb looking food. So fresh, and cooked so well. A great restaurant adventure. Thank you, DancingBacons.

Her face when she smiles makes me smile.

Amazing experience!

Almost at 3M subs. Well done! It's been a long time building that following.

Who knew that chefs were artists and that you can eat art?! Fantastic video!!!

I've seen a lot of your teppanyaki videos. This one is superior.

Love your videos, this was a very decadent meal ❤

Wow, the chef is amazing!

Now this is my kind of meal. Looks so good!

I like the way he uses the knife to squeeze the lemon ❤

Salutations from America Ma'am and Sir; you produce very fine content. I just love virtually eating with both of you. Ma'am, your whole face lights up when you consume something delicious and makes me smile each and every time... Thank you for taking me along for the ride, job very well done!! I look forwards to many more years of episodes to watch...

My favourite cuisine on the planet. That meal was pure art.

Chef Sakai is as enjoyable to watch as a lot of the showier teppanyaki chefs. His economy of movement and focus on food over flash demonstrates his wealth of experience, you know this man is excellent at what he does just by watching him.

watching this while eating my cup noodle

i love this thanks for sharing

Even the salad looks pretty!

awesome cooking chef Sakai.

I love the pile of beautiful food served on the grill like that. Wonderfull idea

Here I am again, slurping my cup noodles while watching luxury food that's beyond my wallet's reach.

I like your content and quality 🙈❤

Adoro essas comidas, vcs e os lugares❤❤❤

always such a great atmosphere. and the food looks beyond amazing! 🥣

i love your videos! would you share what is your gear used for your videos?

I love almost all of the vegetables. I’ve never tried the bitter melon. I’d love to though.

Looked like a very nice meal!

The vegetables would be enough for me..... 😍 ... even that looks so delicious 😋 I seem to be hungry !? 🤔 Thanks DBs.... ❤

I like your channel! Thank you! ❤

I wish I were with you trying all that food!😊😊😊😊

Oh you guys that meal! I had trouble keeping my knees from buckling on then 26th floor of a high rise. I could not do 51. Ooh. You guys are such a cute couple. Love her reactions to the food. Can't wait to see where you guys go next.

Wow awesome.

Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

Even though I don’t eat seafood or meat it was very enjoyable to see this great chef at work. A true master

What an amazing meal!

No cringe gimmick gestures of the cook, just pure culinary pleasant....nice 👌🏻

Wonderful!

Ty Bacon duo for another interesting video 😊

Chef Sakai. is awesome. Hes like superman at the grill. I wish I could go to Japan just to eat there and let him cook for me. I would leave him a big tip ,he is so worth it! Made me so hungry just watching him cook.

i only cook steak when i find some i like on sale, i like the idea of all the veggies and pickles and sauces to compliment the rich flavor a good homemade version is worcestershre sauce and roast bell peppers, potatoes, zucchini and such if there were a fancy pizza restaurant like this i would try it aha

Probably one of the most expensive meal in your channel

I had no idea teppanyaki was so recent!

Satisfied ❤

Thank you

Sooo not only was this the place that invented Teppanyaki but it was also the guy that invented it right? Absolute champion

This totally put Benihana to shame..great upload!❤😊

Mrs Dancing Bacons smile is beautiful!!

so decent, so good-manner, they so good people, just feel toi.

If you ever want affordable wagyu in the States, Costco has a really good Wagyu New York Strip for $100/lb. Yeah that's expensive for steak but it's actually a good deal for Wagyu. My wife and I tried it and it was absolutely delicious. We had always wanted to try A5.

As a Brit I do respect the English tea at the end :D I'd love to experience one of these meals!

This video was taken in February - amazing

So amazing

You'd think at that price the Ginger Ale would be included.

So this place was the first one huh, makes me wonder which other high end places they have visited that are also the first?

Interesting shape of that wagyu

Making food in a very simplistic way!! No theatrics; it was all about the food.
