We enjoyed the lovely presentation of the sushi and sashimi staircase. The tableside preparations (searing of the Salmon Pepper Popper and flaming and flaming of the short ribs) made for a fun experience. We also had fun grilling the beautiful marbled wagyu on the Japanese lava rock. The Alaska Black Cod was an elevated and eye-catching dish. The ambiance and cozy Japanese decor of Ebisu on Robson makes for a fun place to enjoy good food and drinks with friends.
