Blossoms

This was our 8th visit to this restaurant in the JAPANESE section (we have gone to the Chinese food section as well). We are very aware of the "rushed" atmosphere here but this visit was definatley the worst. We had barely sat down when menus we given and orders were taken within "moments" of our arrival. The prices from last year have skyrocketed and we questioned whether this place has priced itself out of our dinning options. We can go to other restuarants for the same money and get a real dinning experience.
The salads were brought about 3 minutes after ordering. We came as a group so we all sat at one table. We had not finished our salad when the soup had arrived. They couldn't even wait until we had finished and cleared away the salad before placing the next course in front of us. The "show" which we had seen many times was definatley not as good as in previous years not was the food.
Knowing that this restaurant basically is an eat and run establishment (last year we were lingering for about 10 minutes after we paid the bill and they asked us to leave) we chose to come here on our travel day as we would be tired and hungry. However, sadly, with their price increase we don't feel we can justify the cost vs. the service/food.

We ate at Blossoms on our first night in Aruba on the Chinese side. The food and service was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for the Chinese side. I did not try the Japanese tableside cooking.

A beautiful restaurant if you choose to have teppanyaki grill. Fish tanks and the grills make for an exciting experience. My Wife and I decided to have chinese food. We were led to an empty round room with little atmosphere. We ordered a Pu-Pu platter for two and Blossom's fried rice. The food was great but the portions very small. Disappointing. If we go back we will be dining in the teppanyaki grill room.

The food was OK and the chef at the Japanese communal table was mildly entertaining. My beef is with the menu.
Outside, the posted menu we looked at before going in prominately listed an "Early Bird" special. When we went inside, the menu we were given didn't have anything about an "early bird" on it even though we were there way before the 6:00 PM time stated on the menu outside. When I asked the waiter why we couldn't get the lower price, he said we had to order the "Kids Meal" to get the lower price. Talk about a bait and switch. I felt like leaving but we were hungry and ordered the Kids meal/early bird anyways but felt cheap doing it in front of other diners at the communal table. The chef didn't say anything, but my steak was a smaller portion and was given to me before others ordering the same meal on the "adult" menu.

Amazing meal. I thought it would be just a so-so meal, but we chose this b/c my 15 year old wanted to do it. Best teppanyaki grill meal I have ever had. Our Chef…Alex…was so entertaining. My 15 year old loved it and even the 3 month old seemed to enjoy the show. I had the Chicken and Filet…both were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. You get so much for your money…soup, salad, rice, meal w/ veggies, and dessert. We will def be returning next time.

We were in Aruba celebrating our 40th anniversary with our children and grandchildren and stayed at the Westin. We had dinner at Blossoms and it was wonderful. The chef we had was excellent and really made an effort to include our grandchildren. This is an extremely child friendly atmosphere and we all had a great time. Our party also had sushi on several different occasions and it was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I ate at Blossoms with another couple we met in Aruba. We all agreed this was one of the best meals we had while in Aruba. We are from New York and are very familiar with gourmet Chinese food. This meal was top notch. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We went for dinner without reservations and were seated promptly. I had the orange beef. The menu listed this as a hot and spicy dish. The sauce was too sweet and not very spicy.
My girlfriend had the beef with garlic sauce. She loved it. The dinners were large enough for 2 meals. We also had the Blossoms fried rice. Very good flavor with a slightly smokey taste.

We chose to sit at a table and have sushi as opposed to hibachi (although those folks looked like they were having fun!). The restaurant was very pretty and the service was excellent! We were given a warm, fragrant wet towel to wipe our hands with at the beginning and at the end of the meal. We ordered the chinese appetizer (pu pu platter type) and shared a variety of sushi for dinner. All was great!! We would definitely return here to eat, passing on the chain style of Benihana!

We stayed at the Westin Aruba during our trip so we ate here twice - once for lunch and once for dinner. Our dinner experince was great. Affordable prices, decent presentation, nice atmosphere (tropical fish, teppanyaki experience, sushi bar), courteous and attentive service staff and overall good food. I will admit during our lunch we ordered sushi and it was not as cold as I generally would like it - it was more room temperature. I think this is a place you should check out and make a decision for yourself. Worth the trip for japapense/chinese.
