Food delivered late by a Surly driver who was not very pleasant, Photo's below of cold inedible food, £23 wasted!

We booked dinner for 2 around the hibachi station on the third floor and it was delicious. Good quality ingredients, cooked well (I had medium rare sirloin and it was exactly as I'd hoped) and a nice atmosphere. Will be

Fabulous experience and food.. staff very helpful and met some lovely people along the way!There is a choice of Chinese or Japanese (Teppanyaki). Would highly recommend the Japanese experience. Set price for soup, starter and main, which is cooked for you at your table.

The food is very very good, the show is good too and they provide very good service, although the chairs in the sitting area (where the show is) are too close to each other, probably 2 chairs less would be better.

We booked for 7 PM for two people for the live cooking experience but were frustrated when told upon arrival that we couldn't attend due to an unexpected increase in another customer's party. We had to purchase additional drinks, expecting to be brought to the area we booked.However, we were later informed that we would be placed in a different area where no live cooking took place and was completely empty. No apology or attempt to rectify the situation was made; instead, they played dumb as if we had just walked in. The soy sauce was served in a small container, forcing us to share and dip our sushi into the same container, unlike other Japanese restaurants that provide a soy sauce bottle. In spite of all that, we were still charged the 10% service charge.A really poor service/organizational experience; we do not recommend this place. For 80 POUNDS, you could get a much better experience and better service in other places in Belfast.

Booked the cooking experience here but they seemed a bit put out when we arrived and told us take a seat and your table will be ready in 20 mins...Sat in a quite cold area of second floor waiting to go upstairs, after about 15 mins waiter came and said 'Were gonna open up this area!' and set us a place on that level....it was cold and empty and essentially like eating in a closed restaurant...I get they messed up our booking but what annoyed was this was not acknowledged and could have easily been resolved by comping a few drinks or something but not keep going and pretending everything is normal when it obviously wasn't.....I will give the one star for the food which was very good, shame they messed up the service so much!?

Fantastic place! The cool chef did a show, and we were very entertained. The food was delicious, I personally was very impressed with the vegetarian duck, and with the starters. I wish the miso soup was vegan (or an available option to make it so) but unfortunately they use fish stock in it. Nonetheless, we will come again when we are in Belfast again.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian duck was fantastic

Excellent food so very well presented with live cooking right in front of you.

Ordered takeaway from the Chinese restaurant - Chicken Satay, Salt and Chilli chicken and sides. Food was poor; the Chicken satay had battered chicken in it instead of chicken breast and the salted chilli chicken was tough and stodgy. Have previously ordered really good quality food from here but based on the last order, won’t be back

Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful selection of Chinese food served by a friendly, attentive waiter.Food was sizzling hot, tasty and delicious.We will definitely be back!There was a level that served Japanese food but we did not sample this …on this occasion!!
Worst tap en yaki I have ever experienced! It was over sold so too many customers for them to handle, it was chaotic and stressful. The only cooking on the grill was a piece of meat! Everything else was just warmed up behind the counter, which isn't what tap en yaki is about! "Asian salad" was a small saucer with some lettuce and carrot on! What was Asian about that! No skill and poor quality!! Value for money was apauling! Cheap food so over priced! It was worth around £10 each but cost us £45 each! Feel like it was a rip off! Would never go here again!

Extremely disappointing. Booked for the live cooking experience, was really looking forward to it, but after 40 mins of waiting for our table, with no explanation from staff about why it was so delayed, and when we will eventually be seated. We gave up and sat downstairs and just had a Chinese, which was a 3/10. And no compensation given for the extreme inconvenience. We were really looking forward to the love cooking experience, but have honestly nothing good to say about this place.

Amazing food, great staff. Gofay is a really wonderful host. Out of all the meals my family and I ate in Belfast, this place stood out. Great flavours of Asia.

Absolutely loved it.Second time there and the food is just as great.Disappointed by the main course portions..especially the veggies..there was hardly any.
