teppanya

one of the best japanese restaurants in the south. you will go here for theexperienceof good food and excellent service. the wagyu beef was very flavorful and cooked perfectly, your tastebuds will be in a bliss with every mouthful. a dinner is not complete without a serving of delish desserts, i decided to order the creme brûlée (my favorite) and it never disappointed my standard, it had the right mix of creaminess and sweetness. i feel that the price is just right for the quality of food and service they provide. i will definitely go back.

we had a very good diningexperiencethat the whole family enjoyed. we ordered starter set good for 6 pax. the price is worth the meal. we left the restaurant with a full tummy and a full smile.

food was really good and reasonably priced. i would love to go back but staff wasn't as friendly compared to myexperienceat kimpura. we were literally running after them to take our orders and requests. quite disappointed with the diningexperiencegood thing the food was really good. i hope they improve their service to their customers.

my love for japanese food is never ending and this restaurant has met my expectation. their salmon roll is very tender. taking a piece of it exudes great flavors already. the cucumber in it also helped balance the flavor.

diners are seated around the chef's station. you'll surely won't get bored while waiting for your food to be served as the chef cooks the food (selected menu only) and does tricks at the same time. cozy ambiance is a plus. our overallexperiencefrom this restaurant is amazing even though we stayed only for a short time. will definitely come back to try other menu :)

i've been eating at teppanya for a while now, but myexperiencetoday is where i really felt the need to write a review. during my long stay in the waiting area, there was a couple in front of me that were consistently showing symptoms of covid-19. they were coughing continuously. so we informed the staff of the matter that maybe they shouldn't let them dine within the restaurant because they are clearly showing symptoms of covid-19. the waitress noted our concern, but to my surprise the couple were still allowed inside and continued coughing even without a mask. we spoke to another waiter and even the chef about the concern, and all they could say was sorry that they could not discriminate. this is not a matter of discrimination. this is a matter of public safety and health. restaurants are held to a high standard when it comes to public health which is why it was a surprise that they continued to let them in. the manager reasoned that they didn't have fever and had vaccination cards, but regardless of those requirements, a person can still carry covid-19 and fever is not the only symptom of covid-19. they could have politely requested that the couple not dine-in or even just offer them service in one of their private rooms on the second floor, but no, they chose to endanger the lives of the people, especially the children that were there this night. i'm very disappointed in teppanya and their total disregard for safety protocol. sad to say that i am never eating there again.

dining at teppanya is much more than an exercise in the fulfillment of the basic human need of nourishment, it is the state of getting entertained while thoroughly getting satisfied with that nourishment. teppanya is what happens when nobu and vince mcmahon decide to have a love child. it is a multi sensory experience, that brings together the flavor of the food, the blaze of the flame rising from the griddle and the clank of the spatula as it meets the hot griddle, these bits of sensory information sums up into this unique culinary novelty experience.

i was fortunate toexperiencethis myself when i got invited to dine at teppanya. being that this is a restaurant review i will admit that i found it extremely difficult to rank this dishes that i have tasted and come up with a short list, so here goes nothing:

1.) wagyu roll aburri with gold - yes, this has edible gold in it, as if wagyu beef weren’t expensive enough. this roll is what fine japanese cuisine is all about, straight to the point yet incredibly indulgent, the wagyu and japanese rice just melts in a goo of umami in your mouth.

2.) boston lobster tail teppanya - bathed in dashi bisque, which brought out hints of the sea out of the tender lobster flesh, this is lobster jacked up by its own steroids (without the unintended side effects). its like the sea gushing inside your mouth.

3.) brazilian tenderloin - grilled medium rare, the juicy and tender meat is best consumed with a simple dash of salt and pepper.

4.) a5 wagyu - i don’t think i need to explain further why this sits at the top of my list. one bite of the highly marbled meat is enough to hi-jack your senses for a few seconds.

this japanese restaurant serve variety of dishes; from yummy appetizers, sushi, salad, soup, ramen to a5 wagyu, lobsters, oyster and even korean dishes.

you can also enjoy premium set meals for that wonderfulexperienceof seeing how they cook the food on a teppan, the metal griddle.

aside from the warm greeting from the staffs, the place looks warm and so inviting. the smell of the fresh ingredients being cooked on a metal plate made me more hungry and felt so lucky to be in this fabulous restaurant.

the food:

squid nigiri 4/5
the fusion of balanced flavors of squid, wasabi and other spices made this appetizer a awesome starter.

wagyu aburi with gold 5/5
hmmm sounds amazing right? knowing that there's gold on your food is something different from your everyday life. the flamed wagyu strip is tender and juicy thus making it perfect with the other ingredients.

marinated gindara 4/5
white fish fillet marinated with white miso. cooked on metal plate and covered for some time for that smoky flavor. drizzle with some lemon and its perfect.

boston lobster teppan 4/5
with dashi bisque that added more flavor to the soft lobster meat. together with shiitake mushroom and some veggies this luxurious dish is a must try.

wagyu bits fried rice 4/5
this fried rice is something to look forward to, with spices and wagyu bits it can already be consumed alone.

brazillian tenderloin 5/5
cooked medium rare on a metal plate, this tender and juicy meat gave me a wow factor; together with some sauce or just that salt and pepper dry dip makes this meat so awesome.

wagyu a5 5/5
like the brazillian tenderloin, this meat is the premium amongst the premium. the meat especially the fat melts in your mouth; together with the fried garlic, salt and pepper tasting this was an amazing food experience!

banana flambe 4/5
this dessert is of course made of banana with vanilla ice cream which is flamed and then drizzles with chocolate syrup and some more sweet toppings for a more enjoyable dessert experience.

dining out continues to evolve with time. today, it has become a full-on activity, more than just a necessity. teppanya delivers a uniqueexperienceto its customers, with an interactive, on the spot teppanyaki show.

this japanese restaurant goes beyond just cooking your food; they also give you entertainment and some trivia tidbits on your orders.

i was invited here a couple of days ago with an intimate late lunch with other zomato users. it was far from home but well worth my time as i enjoyed every dish teppanya offered us.

we started with aburi or flamed-seared sushi. it’s glazing your fish or meats before they are served to you. i loved the wagyu and squid versions, fresh and of high quality.

next was a seafood duo plate of gindara (cod fish) and imported boston lobster tail. the former was a melt in your mouth sensation, wishing i had more of that. the lobsters were as impressive, delicious in every bite.

the last set was most memorable for all of us! our group got two teppanya premium slices of meat. first was chunky yet still very tender, brazilian tenderloin. the second was extra premium, really juicy, a5 wagyu steak (200 grams at php 2,988). it was so savory with a seasoning combination of butter, soy, and pepper.

the dessert marked a beautiful ending to our visit to teppanya. banana flambe at php 198 only is a must order. it’s a sweet treat that comes with flames and wonders.

if you’re near the north, this brand has a store as well in sm north edsa. i’ll be likely to go back to that location instead since it’s nearer to me. see you there?

entertaining is the best word that i could give to this place!

its really amusing to see the chef cook your food in front of you with their techniques and flaming grillers you’ll definitely pick those items which will both serve as an entertainment for your eyes and belly.

ill rate the overallexperience4 but for the food maybe 3.5 :)

i have always wanted to dine here and it took me a while to actually do, but they did not disappoint. i really enjoyed the food, the experience, and the staff was really friendly. would also like to commend the manager for being considerate when we accidentally unlocked the wrong branch on zomato gold. myexperiencewas perfect!

great place to have a teppanexperience(i daresay better than beni hana). just tell your chef if you want less salt or soy sauce coz it can be a bit salty if you let them go mad at seasoning your food.

maki menu isn’t topnotch though. but do try the rest of the menu!

as a true southie by heart, one would know evia is one of the places you should visit when you want to eat good food. i had the chance to try teppanya with friends and the diningexperiencewas one for the books. the servers, especially the chef was so entertaining, we didn't mind waiting for the food to be cooked.

food - 5/5
the steak and the seafood was superb! it's not everyday you get to eat something that's wrapped in seaweed from japan an salt! 👌

ambience- 4/5
if i didn't see the rooms upstairs i would say the place was a bit small, but hey! more rooms on their second floor that you could rent for meetings!

price - 4/5
price is a bit steep but one good thing about teppanya is that they have other options that are budget friendly!

service - 6/5
honestly, one thing that makes me go back to restos are the servers. our chef was so entertaining, the servers are attentive as well.

overall, teppanya is a place you should consider when you have special gatherings coming up! may your diningexperiencebe one for the books too!

the staff and the chef were polite and fun to talk to. we ordered the premium 5 course starter set with sukiyaki cut as per their recommendation. some of the note worthy dishes were the ones that were prepared on the spot such as the usuyaki beef, chahan rice and the banana flambé coated with tempura flakes topped with ice cream. it was a greatexperienceand we're planning on dinning there again in the future.

staff are friendly, entertaining and accommodating. the food is good and the ambiance makes the diningexperienceeven more worth while. good job, teppanya!

oooh thank you teppanya for making my birthday so special. we had the pleasure of having chef alvin cook for us during our stay. we enjoyed his company and showmanship. he kept the atmosphere fun and made jokes which made the wholeexperiencea notch higher. we ordered a number of teppanyaki dishes which kept chef alvin busy cooking. we tried the rib eye, bacon cut pork, chicken thigh fillet, white shrimps and tuna. all paired with vegetables and fried rice. we ordered the shrimp tempura which is the least favorite and california roll. we were a group of four and we had the restaurant all to ourselves which made it more intimate.
