Who doesn't love the sizzling, smoky, mouth-watering goodness of teppanyaki? For those unfamiliar with the theatre of flavours that is teppanyaki, allow us. Teppanyaki isn't a food; it's a way of preparing and cooking dishes that are typically Japanese, but heavily influenced by popular Western ingredients and our enjoyment of food stunts like piles of flambéed onions.
Around a hot iron plate in front of which stands a knife-wielding chef ready to thrill you, you'll enjoy all sorts of delicious morsels expertly grilled before your very eyes. It's part cooking technique, part modern performance art. Scroll down to find out where to find the best teppanyaki restaurants on the Gold Coast.
