Had a terrible experience here and would not even recommend this place to my enemies. It was my birthday dinner at this dump yesterday that my wife had organised only for the Tappanyaki show because I had never experienced it. We had Tappanyaki but there was NO show last night. Just a mute, school dropout, chef chopping up some meat and veges with no interaction or friendliness at all. Do you know what Tappanyaki is with no show? Its just bland BBQ meat and vege's with some bland sauce. After my wife complained, they bought out a single scoop ice cream with a candle and sang happy birthday to me. Geez thanks guys, that really made up for it!!! You ended a perfect day with a bitter taste. You don't deserve this star!!! If you want to waste $250+ for an hour of boredom and eat some bland food, go right ahead and head down to this dump, otherwise head to another restaurant.

Approximate cost: $250

I've been here twice and each time the food was average, and the prices were high. I expect a bit more for my dollar, but having said that, the service is attentive.

Approximate cost: $50

Absolutely incredible. Such kind, friendly service and the food was sensational. If you want fresh, traditional and a great variety of Japanese food, this is the place to go.

The teppanyaki chefs are amazing! They're fantastic at making it more than just a dinner. Their set menu for teppanyaki has something for everyone.

Have only been for a la carte. Food is decent, I especially like the eggplant with sweet miso paste. Service is good. Price a little above average.

Approximate cost: $35

Although it is a Teppenyaki restaurant we've mostly come here for their a la carte menu, especially their bento boxes. These are exceptional and give you a variety of authentic Japanese tasties to sample.
The ambiance at this restaurant is very nice as well with 4 large teppenyaki sections (for those so inclined) and very nice decorations. The service staff area also uniformed in traditional Japanese costume which lends a bit of authenticity to their product.
Portions are generous for the a la carte menu. The one time my brother-in law got the teppenyaki I thought the portion was a little on the small side, but I guess it's more the entertainment factor when you get teppenyaki.
This is a high end restaurant so meals are going to be pricey but it is worth it if you're looking for a good fancy meal. Bookings are recommended because they are quite popular and tables fill up fast.

Approximate cost: $45

( Teppanyaki) The food was gorgeous, we had set menu B and chose the eye fillet which was superb. Although the potato slices were yummy,the color didn't look appetizing due to being pre-cooked. Not entertaining like some Teppanyaki restaurants but that's ok because we don't like our food being thrown at us. The chef was servicing 2 tables at once and for some reason muddled up the sequence between the 2 tables. eg. the other party arrived while we ate entree, yet we had to wait till after they'd had their main cooked/served for our main.

Update 1/4/13: Dropped in for dinner but didn't feel like the full Teppanyaki banquet. So we asked for alacarte table for 2 and ordered 2 main dishes to share. The food was sensational and the staff very friendly.

Approximate cost: $55 p/p

Don't mistake my rating here for disatisfaction. I have eaten here twice and enjoyed the meal both times however I fund the skill and entertainment from Tepanyaki chefs has been better at other venues. The restaurant us pretty small and they seem very keen for you to order if you are not going for the full experience.

The alcahol selection is ok.

In short it is a novel experience for reasonable value but not exceptional.

A friend recommended this restaurant to me, though she had the Teppenyaki experience and I chose a la carte (not being a fan of seafood this is a better option for me!)

The food was fresh, well presented and tasty, although when asked I requested my beef cooked well done & I'm almost certain I heard it moo... The main thing that bothered me were the overly attentive waitresses. We were asked at least 10 times by different staff if we were ready to order and this was before we'd even opened our menus!

Despite that it was a pleasant evening and it's always fun to watch the Teppenyaki chefs do their thing - especially from a safe distance!
