Blossoms

How is the food there? I've never eaten there and would love to do the hibachi thing with my son. How does it compare to benihana (is that still open?) Any helpful answers are appreciated. Thanks

Thumbs up blossoms

I am told that it is better than benihana. We go to Blossoms every year and our kids really like it there. Japanese is very good and they have a kid price. We have also done the Chinese section which is also very good. The show is on the Japanese side and the kids do love the entertainment.

This is a must for us also! My kids love the Habachi...not cheap though! But we've been to same type here in NJ and its just as costly. Hubby and I have done the chinese and Japanese also and really enjoyed it. Have fun!

Was just there the week of Sept 9. My sister ate at Blossom's last year and loved it. This year it was awful. We did the hibachi and no one of the 5 in my party liked it. There was no flavor at all. I was not impressed with the presentation either. Maybe we just got an off night because I have heard alot of good things about Blossom. I kind of doubt I will go there next year.

Blossoms

Blossoms is fabulous. We are going to Aruba 10/11-10/19 and can't wait to eat there??? Should we make a reservations before you go to Aruba or can it wait untill we get there?. We will be about 8 people.

I'm sure you can wait till you get on the island. We were a party of 10 and I waited till we got there last November!
We did Habachi!

We go every year. I would say though that the Chinese restaurant is better than the Tepanaki side.

Good food, nice ambiance, but no Aruban influence.

My husband and I LOVE Japanese food and went to Blossoms for the first time in November '06'. The food was REALLY good!!
This will be a must stop for us now when we vacation in Aruba!
