I'm not too keen on fish, so when it was suggested we go out for dinner with friends I was a bit wary. But when I saw the variety of dishes available on the website I was convinced, and booked a table for a teppanyaki set meal. We arrived not knowing quite what to expect.
Food
Diners sit on 3 sides of a square, with the chef in the middle. The table accommodates 18 people so be prepared to share space with people you've never met before. We started with Miso soup, Wo Fo Salad, spare ribs, a scallop and a chicken skewer. Accompanied by Kirin beer.
Then the chef arrived to cook our mains. Some lighter fluid and candles created an explosive start to the meal, and the chef showed off his skills with a knife. For the main course(s) we had Tiger King Prawns, Chicken Teriyaki, Sirloin Steak and, the best dish of the night for me, some sublime salmon steak, cooked with soy sauce, rice wine, salt, pepper and garlic butter - amazing! To balance things out we also had some rice and vegetables, although I have to say I couldn't eat much of mine.
If we had had any room for desert we could have tried pancake ice cream (which looked delicious) and green tea or coffee, but instead the chef had ordered us a 'one time only' flask of saki on the house.
Overall Rating
Good food, fabulous salmon, the best japanese beer, and great entertainment. This is definitely a place to go for a unique experience which is immensely enjoyable. Book a teppanyaki table though, or you'll just be jealous of the people who did! One thing's for sure: you'll not be going home hungry!
