sharktums Posted April 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I would love a definitive list of which Izumi's have Hot Rock and which have Hibachi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgestang Posted April 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Some Izumis (like the one on Anthem) don't even have hot rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted April 24, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I know Indy has the hibachi as it's available in our cruise planner. We thought about booking it but at £34 pp it seems a bit expensive for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ITTravelers Posted April 24, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Was on Navigator last week. They have Hot Rock. No Hibachi. Edited April 24, 2019 by 3ITTravelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted April 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Symphony has Hibachi. It was fun, but definitely not worth $50pp, IMO (someone else paid, or I wouldn't have gone at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aring75 Posted April 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Do you know if Vision has the hot rock, but it's not shown on the menu? I've been trying to plan some specialty dining for an upcoming cruise in June, and the menu shown online doesn't indicate that hot rock is available. However, I realize that RCL may just use a "standard" Izumi menu to show online and it could vary across the fleet. This is what is currently available for $55 on my June Med/Greek Isles cruise. If my husband can't get something cooked (🙄), we aren't eating at Izumi. Izumi_Vision.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a rice ball with butterflied shrimp Yes, I completely agree! However, husband hears "sushi"...does not eat said sushi. It's an ongoing battle. After 20 years of marriage I've learned that some battles simply aren't worth the effort. Lol, I can just make an extra reservation somewhere else (or save the money for that matter). I was just wondering if anyone who sailed Vision recently noticed the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just ridiculous, especially considering the best land based hibachi restaurants arent nowhere near that much per person even if you are ordering filet and lobster. Specialty dining on RC was really something special not too long ago at a rate that was less than you would pay for the same land based experience. Long gone are those days I guess.

dodgestang Posted April 25, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hmmm....whenever I go out for HIbachi with my family of 4 it costs me $180-220.....and I live in the country. Sushi apps, mains, desert, drinks, tip....it all adds up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted April 25, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 25, 2019 To many accountants on these boards. It's fun, enjoy. I paid $16 for fish and chips in Diagon Alley yesterday. Comparable to $5 at Long John Silver. $75 for 3 people, but we had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just not about to pay 2X what I would pay on land for a subpar product just because Im on a cruise ship in the name of "having fun". I havent heard the best of reviews of Izumi lately. Long John Silvers is not real good and a poor comparison. I certainly hope your fish and chips in Diagon Alley, wherever that may be, was better than that poor excuse that is LJS. 😎 All Im saying is I can remember a time when Chops was really close to a high end steakhouse experience at 1/3rd the price. Sadly, my last Chops experience I wouldnt even rate above an average chain steakhouse like Western Sizzler. Prices have went way up and quality has came way down IMO. Most people would agree with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our very best hibachi place is called Okinawa. Even filet and lobster is only 24.95 pp. The most expensive item on the menu. That includes soup, salad, mixed hibachi veggies and fried rice. Add in 6.00 - 10.00 sushi, a 20% tip and Im still out of there less than 50 bucks. I never have room for dessert after eating there.

Similar situation on our home town. Excellent hibachi restaurant costing $16 - $25 depending on entree choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Symphony for the $50 Hibachi Experience, sushi was NOT included in the price, but could be ordered for an additional price. It was either our assistant/waiter or our chef who recommended holding off on ordering sushi until we knew we would have room for it, because the hibachi meal included salad, fried rice, our chosen meat/meats, and dessert.
