Definately a great night out, and a different experience..our chef was young and although lovely couldn't understand me. I think it would have been a much funnier experience with someone with more experience perhaps . Prices a little high, but with that said everything tasted lovely and meat was super tender. Would have liked a bit more substance to the vegie and rice dishes for what you pay.
What a great place to celebrate a birthday with a group of friends! the food was fantastic!! Staff are so warm and welcoming ��
Definitely recommend it!
My husband and I had a great time here. The food was fantastic, best steak, lamb and chicken I've ever had!!! And the fluffy duck cocktails were pretty great as well �
What a great night.A must do for anyone we totally enjoyed the experience and it was great to interact with others and the chefs. Staff were great and service was fantastic food was good and not overpriced will be back .thankyou
Excellent food, service & grea fun!
This is my second time at Ginza & I highly recommend it for groups.
Great food extremely well mannered and efficient staff. Food was to die for and not overpriced
Sensational food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Thanks for a fantastic night :)
Good food staff were awesome ,we go back again great place to go with a group
Fabulous night great service good wine list . We had a group of 8 . Will be back
We loved it the food was delicious even the food we didnt catch lamb cutlets were so yummy will be back for more food laughs
Went with a group of workmates and we had a great time. The food was delicious and our chef was very funny; it was a first for many of us so will definitely be back!
周一下午2点才到，那时店里还是挺空的，但之前路过晚上几乎人都是满座。我们一共6个人，要了3个set A和3个set C。铁板烧嘛，就是有大厨在面前表演的，印象最深的是最后一个大火，坐在正前方的我隐形眼镜都要化掉了。。但是食物还是很好吃哒，肉肉沙拉炒饭前汤都有了，食材也非常新鲜。但似乎对食量大的人不怎么友好，但是日本餐厅不就将就情调嘛，够不够就是另一回事了。
My family and I visited Ginza Teppanyaki for my Dad & Cousin's birthday and it was a great experience.
Most of the group got set 2, and my brother in law and I got set 4 as we are bigger fans of seafood. Every piece of food we were served was fantastic - I can't even decide what I liked the most. Everything was cooked perfectly and there was a generous amount of each type of food - especially the chicken and beef tenderloin. We were supposed to get the 'Chefs Special' in set 4, however I believe this was missed (this is my reasoning behind giving a 4 star review instead of 5).
It was my parents first time at Teppanyaki and they absolutely loved it - from the food to the entertainment. As it was my Dad's birthday we all sung happy birthday too him and we all enjoyed a laugh when fried egg was flying across the table at him (most of which missed his mouth).
Longer seating times would be nice - but overall we had a great night out. I would highly recommend visiting Ginza Teppanyaki!
A lovely evening, food and service were excellent! The interactive menu was a great experience. I'll definitely be back again with friends and family.
Visited Ginza Teppanyaki on Little Bourke St for a friend's birthday.
We're greeted by lovely staff and seated immediately.
The menu has great variation and can cater for most needs especially vegetarians.
I choose Set 1 which was a good mix of meat, fish and veggies.
Our cook Jackson was highly professional and entertaining.
Food was fantastic!!!
Will definitely be back again.
Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I visited Ginza on the spur of the moment for dinner with a friend. I generally love the theatre of teppanyaki but it’s not my favourite style of food as I find it not overly filling yet relatively expensive. We just went for the basic $59 set as it’s better value and more variety than trying to go a la carte.
Ginza boasts the largest prawns available in Australia which was impressive and the signature steak was exceptionally tender and flavoursome. I couldn’t fault the quality of the proteins used and the fried rice was also extremely tasty. You get several sauces to accompany the meat which are subtle enough not to overpower but simply enhance the charred meat. Overall Ginza exceeded my expectations
What an awesome experience visiting this place! I’d never done something like this before but it was worth it! I really enjoy the idea of watching the food be made, and then the interactive aspect. Getting everyone involved and it was great hearing all the laughing around the tables! No matter what course you get, they make it fun and entertaining! I’d like to go back in a bigger group soon!
Had a Christmas catch up in the private back room with my extended family. We went for the 59 dollar option. Food was good and the entertainment was spot on. However I wouldn't say this restaurant represents value for money. There wasn't much food for the price.
Have never done Teppanyaki before so not experience preciously but it was absolutely amazing! We last minute found this spot half hr before it closed and they still let us take part. So it was quite empty since it wasnt really lunchtime.
It was a simple 3 course set menu with Miso soup, fried rice and you get the option of 2 different meats from a selection of about 7 or 8 different meats.
We chose the calamari, fish, beef and lamb cutlet. I couldnt fault any of it. It was all cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth.
Towards the end the chef will play a few games with u which was hilarious being that we didn't know what to expect. Fantastic experience as well as food will definitely go back next time we are here.
I've always loved a good teppanyaki, and have been meaning to try Ginza teppanyaki for quite a while. We finally went here for my birthday this year, and I must say I was very pleased with my experience.
We ordered Set 4, which includes the following:
Miso Soup, sashimi, California roll, prawn, scallop, chicken, beef tenderloin, mixed vegetable, and fried rice.
Food was excellent, service was great! Very pleased.
I have been to Ginza teppanyaki more times than I can count- it is by far the best teppanyaki restaurant I have ever come across. The food has wonderful flavour, is cooked always to perfection, the staff are happy and friendly and the chefs are always fun to watch and have a laugh with. The food is reasonably priced compared to the quality and amount you get in more expensive restaurants (such as in Japan). There is a large range of menu options and add-ons and they accommodate very well to children (allowing for 1/2 the portion size and price of set menus). Highly recommend.
Delicious lunch menu. For only $12.80, I had the salmon bento box. The salmon was grilled to perfection and not overly cooked. The fried rice was not salty and it complemented the side dishes.
me and my partner decided to treat our selves for our anniversary and go somewhere fancy. let me tell you, this place was AMAZING
had set 3 which including food such as prawns, salmon, chicken, sushi and more. there wasn't one thing that we didn't like! the chef we had was funny and very very skilled at what he does. By the end of the service there was rice all over the tables and floor from him playing games with us to "catch the rice in the bowl" so much laughs
waitresses were so attentive. also very sweet. they gave me and my partner a print out photo at the venue as an anniversary gift, very very sweet
Will be recommending to all my freinds and family who come here, thanks guys
First time experiencing teppanyaki and I must say it was a great experience.
I like the fact that they have different sets with different pricing. The prices comes with the show!
It’s a great place to go with a group of people as you all get to be part of the show. For example, catching an omelette with your mouth, catching the bowls and fried rice and they’ll pick a person who would like to be bombarded by egg omelette.
Food was exceptionally tasty. Great quality.
Staff were friendly and attentive.
Take your lover, friends and family here for a great teppanyaki experience.
If you want interaction, games and flames with a side of food then make sure you add this to list of places to try in Melbourne!
For our 4 Year anniversary Ginza was our second option, as our first had a 2 and a half hour wait. Ain’t no bossy got time for that! Never having been to a Teppanyaki restaurant, I had no expectations. That said all I can say is Wow, Wow, wow. The food was amazing! I’m not a massive meat eater. However, their Beef was tender and succulent prawns were fresh and chicken was just as good... but seriously that Beef!! We dined from their set menus 1 and 2.
Our interaction with the other diners was a great spin to your normal dining experience and the interactive games run by the chef were not only entertaining but fun! Side note, you can’t hide everyone has to play.
Make Ginza a must for your next meal - A great venue for all ages. Guaranteed you will leave with full bellies and lasting memories.
Excellent service and free food done right in front of you, get involved and play the egg and rice games, a great evening and worth the effort.
Great fun, amazing staff, food was delicious, the meat was truly exceptional! Chef was polite and good fun, waitress was attentive, We really enjoyed our experience here!
Great food and service!!
The salmon sashimi and prawns are fresh. The beef is tasty and juicy as well.
Thanks for the chief and his interesting games
We had a lot of fun with a group of friends and chef so much. Friendly staff and service. The restaurant was clean and good organise. Thanks!
We love this place we go every couple of months and it's always a good night. Great food and good atmosphere. Top quality meat abs and always walk away satisfied unlike other Teppanyaki restaurants we have been too.
Had such a fun night here with two other friends. Food was great and staff were lovely. Our chef at the teppanyaki table was heaps of fun and we loved catching the food/bowls. Desserts were also super yummy!
Just wandering down Chinatown & attracted by all the laughing, my interstate friend & I wandered in & had the best time ever....great food, atmosphere & chefs. We met lovely people at our table & I can't wait to go back. We had the $50 set - it was perfect.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere and food at Ginza! The food was cooked perfectly and depending on the set you get, there is a fair bit of food, which leaves you full by the end of the night! If you're going to get a cocktail, I would definitely recommend the strawberry daiquiri!
This being the first teppanyaki restaurant I've been too I didn't have much to compare it too, but they have three games they play with you during on section of dinner (catch the egg, catch the bowls and catch you rice). Overall a good first experience at teppanyaki 😄
Went to Ginza with a group of 7 for a girls dinner. 7 fit perfectly on the table. Anymore it may be squashy.
Food was delicious. A bit pricey but we walked out of there full so it is worth it. We got the $69 banquet with a combo of seafood and meats. Everything was cooked really well and the food was really flavorsome.
As for cocktails, I ordered the ginza slipper (i think it was called) for $14. It was the tiniest drink ever. Opt for other cocktails...not worth the money.
The chefs get your involved and play games with the food, unlike other teppanyaki restaurants. You will get food thrown on you so be prepared. It was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend this place. It's a fun dinner option for a big group.
Had never been to teppanyaki before so I was very impressed with the overall dining experience. Every dish was absolutely outstanding.. I was so impressed with the chef, and the way he prepared the food in front of us. I enjoyed the set menu number 3, and was given a bib with a number 3 on it so the chef knew which teppanyaki belonged to who. Really enjoyed the dining experience, and the fun novelty games that we played on the table.
First time for teppanyaki. Birthday celebration. We covered set menu 1,2 and 3. Food was absolutely tasty. Eye fillet was well cooked. We all enjoyed the games and had a good laugh. Service was excellent. Only issue was that it was a bit rushed. Would have liked a bit more time.
Absolutely amazing teppanyaki dinner. Pricy but worth the money. The chefs had games to play w customers which made it more interesting. The company made it better. A recommendation to all those that love Japanese teppanyaki ! 👍🏼
I have a real soft spot for Ginza as it my first Teppanyaki experience a few years ago, but I've continued to go back every now and then without any disappointment.
I must admit the last two times we've had a chef who wasn't as engaging (and didn't speak as much English) as the first couple, but nonetheless the food - in particular, the eye fillet and miso soup - was beautiful and the waitresses are so nice and on the ball. Always a sucker for a place with Green Tea ice cream on the menu too!
As far as Tuesday nights in Melbourne go, you could do worse than order a 'Set 2' Teppanyaki and share amongst friends!
For the Teppanyaki chef there is nowhere to hide - you cook in front of the guests and the guests eat in front of you. Our chef on this night cooked up a storm - lamb, teriyaki chicken, bean sprouts, eggs, and eye fillet...all good and our skilful friend was very humble and very good company.
Good Japanese food is also about quality ingredients as well as cooking technique, and the standouts were the lamb and eye fillet (which was cooked to individual preference), and the games were also good value.
All in all, a bit of fun and some nice food cooked right before your eyes.
Very good food.
Good service good fun. Went out for work Christmas party. Enjoyed every bit, especially the scallops.
After we finished we were moved the second room where we had desert and drinks but looks like it was in the middle of renovation so the whole atmosphere died a little bit.
Overall good place will come back.
This is the first Teppanyaki with a kids menu that I have been to. That in itself appealing for us. But really our chef Mickey was the best we have had in a long while.
The food was good. Steak was cooked just as we asked. He explained everything even to our little girls who were his captivated audience. So much so our eldest insisted she say good bye properly before we left.
The service was also very attentive. Dessert was a little expensive and the fried rice could been a bit richer. But overall I left completely full and very happy.
After disappointment with our usual teppanyaki haunt, we gave this place a go.
Service - fast and friendly
Chef - Mickey. Pleasant guy, interesting to talk to, fun and entertaining. After our previous place ignored our kids during the "entertainment bits", it was great to see special attention to our kids.
Food - very nice.
Pricing - not bad although desserts were a little expensive. Having said that, all in all we'd be happy to come back and receive this level of friendly service and good food for this price.
One night after walking around Chinatown and being indecisive about what to eat I remembered this teppanyaki place from the last time we were in Melbourne and decided to give it a try.
After choosing our set menus, I saw the table behind us participating in the food games that they do, I freaked out a little bit after seeing this.
All of our dishes were delicious and full of flavour. The lamb, chicken were good and then when she cooked our beef tenderloin and setting it on fire was the highlight of the night.
We were then asked if we wanted to participate I was hesitant with my answer and hoping that my partner would help me out! And it was an omelette too (I do not like eggs) and to my horror I caught the omelette pieces in my mouth twice then after that we both just kept getting hit in the face with it.
It was a great dinner and an experience that we’ll both remember :)
My first time experiencing Teppanyaki in Melbourne, very affordable, all the staff were very welcoming and entertaining but most of all the food was amazing!
Came here with cousins, they've got great entertainment and games for everyone of all ages to enjoy. Also very nice and polite staff and the foods great!
My first time for teppanyaki and I must say, I had a great experience. Not only was the food delicious but the staffs were all so friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.
a awesome place to eat, if you want an authentic Japanese experience. the chefs at Ginza really know how to put on a great show. very entertaining, loved ever minute of it. The food was awesome coz there was always something cooking.
its very central and is in the hub of the city and has very refreshing variety food and friendly staff..a very authentic japanese experience and nice settings. the entertainment were provided by the chefs
Had a birthday party there on 22/11 with friends and relations. The food was if excellent quality and the services were of high standard as all requests were attended promptly to our satisfaction. Each one of us played the games provided by the chef with surprises. The feedback from all was positive including those tried teppanyaki for the first time.Peter
Probably the most fun I've had eating out in Melbourne! The chefs at Ginza really know how to put on a great show. We went as a group for a Birthday and they had costumes and free rounds of sake shots for all of us (regretted those in the morning). Aside from the chefs and great service, everyone really enjoyed the food. We went for set 5 and the highlights for me were the fresh oysters and scallops, finger licking good.
I noticed a couple of average reviews for these guys and really can't understand it, are whole groups been raving about it for days after. Definitely recommend.
Very affordable teppanyaki. You can get a lot with the set menu for $50. Considering you get entertainment with it. Its worth it I like how they entertain their customers with little games. It made my friends (who's first time trying Japanese food) enjoy eating other cultural meals. The steak, seafood and fried rice was very delicious.
I had visited this place along with my wife Prerna Issar Begwani during our visit to Melbourne. We ordered vegetable teppanyaki along with coffee and vegetable friend rice. Fried rice was quite good but Teppanyaki was simply amazing. This was my first Teppanyaki and we simply loved it. Food seemed to be freshly sourced and of very high quality. If I had time , I would have definately come again.
Staff was very courteous and humble. They made us feel welcome. Their were enough things going around to keep us entertained as well. Considering how costly food in Australia can get for Indians - I would definately say , at this place it was totally value for Money :)
Loved it Been back a few times now and never disappointed . Very accommodating to kids and toddlers too . Food is delicious and fresh . Highly recommend
The food was fantastic! We want as a family group of sixteen people. Two grandparents, four parents and eight children under ten years of age. We laughed and laughed so much. The children said that no meal would ever be as great as that one was. It will go down in family legend of memories. The staff were amazingly attentive and great with the children. It was so great to see the expertise of the Chef and all the children want to cook just like him. A great experience for all of us.
We were recommended by friends who came here and seeing the negative reviews we weren't sure what to expect but it was GREAT! Very entertaining with a fun and light hearted "show" there was A LOT of food and being a vego I had heaps of nice foods to enjoy! My partner and his parents tried set 1 and set 2 and all of them said the meat was melting in their mouths and the flavours were amazing! I recommend this place don't go off the bad reviews we had a really good experience! Only suggestion would be to update the decor!
I had my birthday here & I loved it. Everyone who came still say how good a night it was! They gave us all free sake shot on arrival and they catered for 20 of us. My chef was engaging & funny. His skills were great & the food was tasty.
The prawns and beef were the best by far, loved the cocktails too, nice & strong! The waitresses were friendly & dressed in kimonos, there was probably one time were I had to ask for something twice but it was a Saturday night & busy so I get it! Also very hot in there from all the hot plates, I regretted wearing long sleeves.
The games were fun & got everyone involved, I was sad when they stopped coz we were getting so into it haha.. Also nice that they took a group photo of us & gave me the photo to take home. Definitely will be back!
Steak is heaven! !. Steak on fire is perfect *^O^*
i luv their bowl catching, food catching, egg mouth shooting LOL this place is fun ... i Like :)
Cant agree with the previous comments. Have been there severeal times, both lunch and dinner. If my memory's correct, the $16 lunch set only allows you to choose one main course among four. Lunch is more simple compared to the dinner set menu, which has more games going on and more food as well. Apparently the groupon vouchers are at great value. Had one myself this evening, includes a bottle of wine as well. Fantastic food and games as usual.
Couldn't be better Deliciou.... Couldn't be better
Delicious food, amazing service went for a birthday they dresses us up in a kimono and took a photo for us and developed onsite
Can't wait to come back!!
Good fun restaurant.. The menu here starts with $45 per head, and the most expensive is $125 per head (excluding any drink). Everything is cooked in front of you on a very hot steel plate. The cook is not just a normal cook but also a performer. You will be able to enjoy some game during your time their.
I recommend you to take the $60 per head menu and to bring at least 4 friends with you. The more friends, the merrier when you participate in the food games.

Come for the entertainment, not for the food. If you are after a fun dining experience and are game enough to catch the flying crockery you are going to eat out of and catch food in your mouth, then this is the place to come.
While it may not be for everyone, if you're in the right mood and in the right company, this can be a lot of fun!
The food here is ok, although the ingredients used are not the best quality. If you are after authentic teppanyaki food, you may be a little disappointed.
It's not the worst food, but it's not the best either.
Most of the food is covered in some kind of salty, pre-manufactured sauce. While it is typical of many restaurants to do this, it's annoying, as you would think that for what you pay, the sauces should be made in house rather than come out of a bottle, which can be purchased in the supermarket.
I suppose you really just pay for the entertainment.
You are seated around a large hot plate. Your cook for the evening arrives, introduces themselves, and begins the culinary acrobatics with chopping, sizzling and throwing.
Bring the kids (7 years +), family, friends, co-workers and you are sure to have fun. Come for the fun, not for the food. Thumbs up.
Very nice Tepanyaki. 21/5 - went on Groupon voucher, there were 8 of us going so we had a table for ourselves. Food was great, my steak was so tender. the vegetable dish was a bit on salty side for me but that's really nothing to worry about. Classic theatrical tepanyaki experience. we had fun dining here.
Shoot me! Egg machine gun. We had a fantastic night and they made an extra dessert because it was my birthday! Really great night!!!
Teppanyaki must try!. Only type of place where you'll appreciate food being thrown at you, was a great night of Food and entertainment, our chef was friendly and fun, cooking skills were great to watch And you'll be full even if You don't catch all the food in your mouth
Great fun for people who want a playful dining experience! Food was great and the staff quite friendly. I was terrible at catching the egg in my mouth but not bad with the bowl catching. Also very family friendly.
It's fun. Had dinner there last week. Always excellent food (set menu is the best value). Entertaining and excellent value.
Great food cooked by funny chef. Must try Prawn, scallop, chicken and MSA4+ eye filet. I really like it.
Best Teppanyaki ever. I've been there several times over the past 15 years and it is always great. The food is awesome especially the chicken and steak. Talented Teppanyaki chefs cook up a storm for you and if you get a good chef it is very entertaining. I initially thought it seemed a bit expensive but it is worth every cent for the food, fun, service etc. Can't wait to go back again soon. They are the benchmark for Teppanyaki for me!
Thought the food was above averagejust. Enjoyed the show though
I loved it! friendly staff and a filling dinner! the experience was comedic!
Great function - thanks Ginza!. We had dinner last Sat Nov 12 - a family group of about 22 to celebrate my 11y.o daughter's confirmation party. We had a fabulous time- I think the best group dining experience I can remember. Never having been to a teppanyaki place before I was not sure what to expect about the food or the entertainment. On both fronts Ginza delivered- the food was very tasty and the basic banquet more than enough; service was great and the
chef entertained young and old with his expertise.
Our thoughtful host started our night on a high note by moving us into the function room due to a last minute increase in number from 17 people to 22. Thanks again Ginza - our video footage will bring us many laughs for years to come. Highly recommended, especially for groups - family or business.
Excellent experience. I took a group of students for a school excursion to Ginza, we had the lunch set A, which was more than enough. The food was of very high quality and delicious, I highly recommend the king prawns and the teriyaki chicken.
The students said that it was the best excursion they had ever been on as the chefs played games with them and provided entertainment throughout the meal. The manager gave a discussion about the origin of the food and the rest of the staff provided great service.
Compared to other teppanyaki places I have been to they provided value for money and a great authentic teppanyaki experience
I am not very good to compare the authenticity of the Japanese food. However, the taste was really good with nice favours and was served by smiling staff.
Great food and great atmosphere no complaints at all... Would go back again defiantly :)
Came in on a Saturday night and was very lucky we were able to get a seat. We got the set #2 and the seafood set and both had amazing food. All was cooked to perfection with great sauces and flavours. Our chef was a great sport and managed to do all the games and keep us entertained even with a full section.
The only reason it's 4 stars not 5 is how slow it was to get our drinks out to us. However it looked like that might of been a tonight only issue as the waitresses seemed stressed about it.
Great experience plus good food. The chef makes it fun as well with the tricks and games he plays with parties on the table. Unless you have big group you will be sharing the table with others, but the chairs are well spread out so it doesn’t get cramped. We went for the seafood lover set menu. Everything was fresh and right in front of your eyes. The prawn, oysters , miso soup , sushi roll all was great.

Dinner @GinzaTeppanyaki and chose set 2 - the meat eater. We're seated around the grill and our chef is friendly as we watch the preparation of the dishes.
Miso soup - smooth and warming, so delicious
Meat sushi - thinly sliced Wagyu beef atop rice - so delicious, I really liked this little mouthful
Yakitori chicken skewer - yum, tender chicken, sauce caramelized, I really like the spring onion which withers and has a sweet taste.
A soft creamy mash potato, bean sprouts mixture, and a lamb cutlet with a lovely sauce was next and each was tasty, particularly the chop which is cooked perfectly and the sauce is excellent, though the bean sprouts lacked flavour.
Beef was cooked with quite a show, oil + blowtorch = flames and lots of heat. This produced a lovely tender plate of exquisitely cooked beef immersed in a fantastic flavoursome miso sauce.
Teriyaki chicken
Super succulent pieces of juicy chicken covered in a light teriyaki sauce, very enjoyable
The chef makes a very thin long omelette and here begin the food games as it's cut into little pieces and thrown for you to catch in your mouth. Then it's stepped up several notches with a "machine gun" fire of omelette at considerable speed at your face. Good luck catching that! Next, 6 white bowls are thrown at you to be caught in a stack, which is the forerunner to the last game and final dish.
Catch a bowl of fried rice in a white bowl, fortunately none spilt. Not bad but needed a little more seasoning and flavour.
I definitely wanted some dessert so chose ice cream which is 2 scoops and fortunately you can choose 2 flavours from the 3 on offer. I went with green tea and black sesame which had an excellent flavour and was very enjoyable.
The food games are a little unusual but part of the show, as is, watching the chef at work. Entertaining, tasty dinner, perfectly cooked meat, some dishes need a little tweak to increase the flavour. Fun night out.

We had a dinner last night with 5 of my friends and it was a amazing experience. Specially staffs are very friendly and professional. I must thanks the supervisor lady, sorry forgot her name, she arrange me a private room to perform my pray, thank you. Food was excellent and all the staffs are very knowledgeable. I am highly recommending this place
Amazing restaurant. Went here for lunch with the family, the kids loved the show and all the games (catching egg in your mouth and catching bowls).
The service is spectacular, couldn't fault them. But the food was astranomical. Will definitely be back soon!!
