π: Who loves a good teppanyaki? Food cooked right in front of you by your personal chef. Be fascinated by their talented skills as they light up the fire in front of you. Be it seafood or meat, theyβll grill it to perfection.
β€οΈ: We enjoyed the range of appetizers that came before the main teppanyaki, including the Abalone, Sashimi, Fried Zucchini with Cheese. The mains included seafood and Wagyu Teppan. My favorite though, was probably the dessert Daifuku with sesame and greentea ice cream.
However, what Iβd like to comment was that the portions were really small, and service was incredibly slow. We werenβt served teppan until we were sat down for 2 hours and had to watch other counters being served....

We were invited to Tokyo Teppanyaki tonight and had the pleasure of experiencing some delicious dishes in addition to their teppanyaki offering. Our mixed sushi and sashimi platter was beautifully plated and extremely fresh.
The tempura special was not your typical tempura dish you generally see at a Japanese restaurant and we were excited to try a filled zucchini flower in the lightest of batters as well as chicken wrapped with purple sweet potato and then flash fried in the tempura batter. This is well worth trying and I definitely recommend adding some entrees to your teppanyaki banquet to make it even more enjoyable.
Again some issues with timing, the venue was opened when we arrived at 5.55pm but we didnβt receive any food until 6.29pm. Whilst they had us down for a 6.30pm booking the venue itself is open so if you were a walk in you should reasonably expect to be served faster and they should probably have one of the hot plates on in case of early diners. Fortunately the yummy cocktails did the job of placating us once again
Original review
I was delighted to be invited to Tokyo Teppanyaki one of Melbourneβs longest run teppanyaki restaurants and a theatrical experience to say the least. We were a bit annoyed upon arrival at 5.15pm that they could not serve us until 6pm. Google says they open at 5pm, and Zomato says 5.30pm so 5.15pm seems like a serviceable arrival time. Fortunately the mango daiquiris kept us occupied until the stroke of 6 when we engaged in the Osaka banquet.
The venue itself has a stunning ambiance. The delightful decor places you securely in Japan and the atmosphere at the hot plate is as sizzling as the food. The chefs are engaging and entertaining, creating quite the show throwing bowls of fried rice and egg into your mouth. Itβs definitely a special and unique dining destination.
Food wise we thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes. Some highlights were definitely the beautiful prawns which were just so sweet and went perfectly with all the sauces provided. The tenderloin steak was also a favourite, and special mention to the miso soup which I donβt generally enjoy but this one was well balanced and not overly salty.
The service was also exemplary as one often experiences in a Japanese restaurant and the staff were extremely attentive to our every whim. I would certainly recommended this for a fun night out
Went to celebrate friend birthday here at this Japanese restaurant on chapel street. The atmosphere was fun and exciting the kids seem to really enjoy the show and the food and service was spot on. Highly recommended π
