📝: 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, they’ll grill it to perfection.
❤️: 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 I’d like to comment was that the portions were really small, and service was incredibly slow. We weren’t 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 didn’t 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 Melbourne’s 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. It’s 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 don’t 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 👍
Highly recommend this place. Everything was perfect. We have been coming here several years and it was always fantastic. Great food and friendly staff.
Went here on a Saturday night a few weeks ago ordered 2 emperors teppenyaki banquets amongst many cocktails and sake shots . Amazing atmosphere very entertaining chefs who really interact and get you involved , but most importantly great quality meats and seafood .I would reccomend it to anyone who can appreciate good quality food and service .(didnt get as many pics as I was quite entertained)

It was a rainy Melbourne might that we were invited along for an early sitting at Tokyo Teppanyaki at the South Yarra end of Chapel street. This cute little restaurant frontage opens into a deep and ornately decorated space which was very visually stimulating and traditional. We were here to try the Osaka Teppanyaki set menu which I was excited to try.
We started off with a couple of cocktails. I couldn’t go past that middori based Japanese Slipper (one of the only times I like melon flavour). KD went for the Little Geisha which was a kiwifruit vodka blend and was a cheerful drink
The Osaka menu has springs rolls for entree but we were presented with the seafood entry from Tokyo set menu... they must have known we like sashimi and the caviar that coated the sushi rolls popped away refreshingly. The wasabi was good quality and strong for those of you who like the hit.
We also had the miso soup which was a flavoursome example... one of the tastier we’ve had in recent time.
We were nicely set up for the main event and our funny but seriously skilled chef put on quite the show right from the get go with the way he greased the grill to de-viening the prawns mid cooking, and so incredibly fast. Blink and you miss it. The chef was incredible with the implements in his tool belt and the way he moved them around using a pepper shaker like he was flipping bottles behind a bar making exotic cocktails.
If you like your food to arrive piping hot to your plate then this is the place for you.
Prawns were juicy sweet and fabulous perfect with the chilli sauce that had a hint of tomato.
Mushrooms were juicy and chicken succulent and melt in your mouth with a teriyaki sauce. Calamari, tender and quite lemony, with a hint of garlic and that fabulous char flavour. Steak was flamed and cooked a perfect medium rear.
We both failed miserably at the audience participation part of the evening... neither of us were able to catch the masterfully sliced eggs in our mouths, although we had fun trying. Neither of us was game to try it with the rice!
Our meal finished with fried rice and crisped up prawn legs, Mighty crunchy with a real snack of prawn flavour.
It was a great set up and a friendly environment, I sat next to a regular and had a lovely chat around the grill.
Certainly an enjoyable social evening. Crazy busy on the weekends I’m told.
Thanks so much for having us.
Teppanyaki is so much fun and always a great time to bond with the family or friends and someones randoms that happen to share a table with you. I really enjoyed the catching the fried rice at the end of the meal . The food they give you here is plenty as well, staff however was a little disorganised- had to ask for water multiple times
It was our 1st time there for dinner and overall experience was good. We had ordered several a la carte dishes some of which I would recommend:
Sushi and Sashimi Platter - this was one of my highlights being beautifully presented and tasted incredibly fresh 😋
Soft Shell Crab Tempura - these babies were fried well with a good level of crispiness on the outside and juicy meat inside 🙌
Tenderloin Steak (Kobe style) - my main highlight being super tender, succulent and melting in the mouth! 👄
The four king prawns were grilled well making it flavorful and tasty but we would have liked an extra one or two more.
Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner but be prepared to spend for these items given the restaurant’s location and cuisine.
We went to this place twice and will love to try their other menu since just few block from outlet home. My son Love their Pumpkin decoration just Very cute. They have a very “Japanese” Taste Ramen and miso Soup. The place is bit too small for family or person with kids have to fold the stroller otherwise it’s gonna took many space.
The staff also friendly
More advice This place not suitable for family with kids
Price is $
Fantastic place where selling a good foods and excellent services. Would like to recommend all of my friends to visit here at least once.
