The Four Seasons – Oriental Restaurant – Playa de la Américas

Me and my partner came here for our anniversary, the pink / purple trees you see when coming in look beautiful. They have so many items on their menus, it can be a lot to decide however it was nice to have many options as a vegetarian. We ordered mostly from the Japanese side of the menu. Everything we had tested amazing and arrived in good timing. The only negative I would say is we had to ask a few times to get the bill.

A place to avoid. We were there in October 2023 and between the staff running like headless chickens, appearing to always be busy, but actually not really attending to anyone and the very mediocre food (at best), it’s just not worth it. TIME: we almost went out twice due to the amount of time it took us to even get the menus and then again to be able to place an order. And we weren’t the only ones considering leaving, hearing from a table next to us. The food itself, surprisingly came quite quickly after we were finally able to place our orders. FOOD: my wok duck dish was ok at best. Nothing memorable flavor or presentation wise, nothing that I couldn’t get (honestly better done) at a local, family run place for half if not third of this price here. The negative cherry on top was the samosas tho… The first bite was horrible, because they were stone cold in the center, clearly dropped straight from the freezer to fryer, so the outside was crisp and and hot, but the inside was still iced. We sent them back and on second try, the same thing. Didn’t want to bite into ice again, so this time I just opened it and put my finger in to see the temperature. Ice cold. I did feel bad, because I don’t like to send food back, let alone doing it twice (and the kitchen staff was probably overworked as it was, because they place was full), but I did, saying that it’s ok, I don’t want them to try again. To my surprise they brought it the third time and said they apologize and they will take this item off the bill. While this wasn’t my intention, I said, thank you and proceeded to cut into it, hoping this time it will be ok. I opened it, I put my finger inside… Icy for the third time. Suffice to say, I did not have any samosa that day except that first unpleasant bite that I spit out anyway. DRINKS: and this is a HUGE issue… They served me regular mojito when I specifically asked for a «virgin one, without any alcohol» as I wasn’t feeling like drinking that evening. Obviously I notice only when I tried it and if I was someone actually struggling with their sobriety or had health issues and coudn’t drink alcohol that coudl’ve been a mistake on the staff side of catastrophic consequences for the client. PRICE: I don’t mind paying for quality. Within our two week stay on the island we ate in restaurants at least 2 meals a day and we picked a variety of places, between small local eateries during the day and fancy, high end restaurants with a rather hefty bills during the evenings. Which we paid gladly, when the food was good. So the price tag itself is never the issue, if the experience is as expected and as advertised. The issue is paying unjustified amount of money for downright bad service and bad food, which was unfortunately the case here. OVERALL: overpriced, zero atmosphere, unorganized serving staff, food varying between mediocre and bad. Wouldn’t go again and wouldn’t recommend trying it.

We really enjoyed it. Food hot and arrived promptly. We had the Thai and thought the Tom Kai soup and the satay skewers were particularly good.

It’s honestly not great, the prices are premium but the quality of sushi is on the level of supermarket sushi. I paid 14 euros for 6 pieces of California and they didn’t look too good. Thankfully no food poisoning so it was at least edible

Beautiful atmosphere, we did wait a while between dishes but it was well worth it! You can choose from Indian, Japanese, Chinese or Thai- loads to choose from!

Had a lovely meal here last night. The majority of the group (8 people) ordered from the Chinese menu. The food is on the expensive side, however, it’s really big portions. If we had known the size then we would probably have got 1 to share between 2 instead of ordering our own curries. We ordered a mix of chinese chicken curry, chicken cantonese style, sweet & sour chicken and chicken and black bean sauce.

Avoid. Lovely setting amd staff good. However that’s the end, our food arrived way too quick, literally within minutes and we ordered 4 dishes. The taste was not good the sweet and sour and the king pao were the same sauce and were thickend too much, the chicken appeared to be artificial. We didn’t eat it all. It just seemed wrong We have all been up all night being sick. Definatley one to avoid

All aspects of this restaurant are lacking. It’s not great food, not great value, and service is chaotic. Most disappointing experience we’ve had in Tenerife in ~8 weeks of visiting and eating out each night. Avoid – everywhere else is a better option somehow (price, quality, or service)
