Came here for restaurant month $65pp set menu. You get entree of salad, miso, sashimi and beef tataki. For mains the usual grill veges, options to upgrade to fried rice from steam rice for $5. We got salmon, yum yum prawns, crayfish tail and sirloin for teppanyaki. Pretty good dining experience. 7 people on the table. You’ll definitely have to share space with others if your party is less than 7. The cook could be more enthusiastic but all good, the food taste nice especially the yum yum sauce is just sinful. Make sure you book in advance as it can get quite crowded. For dessert we were given matcha baked cheesecake. Exceeded our expectations. Really good value for money!
Headed back to the Daikoku Quay branch two wks ago. I have been to the one in botany downs town centre which is a bit of a let down as it looks old and tired and the chefs don’t really bother with the full on bells and whistle act when they cook. So my advice is that if you have to choose an outlet to book and go to, pick the one on Quay street.
Like:
1. Friendly accommodating service.
2. Good seating and lighting all around the teppanyaki cooking station
3. Chefs are friendly and bother to chat briefly with you and there is a bit of a fun dinner theatre style act when they cook what you order. When cooking the veggies, the chef moves the onion rings around and blows a whistle to mimic a moving train approaching the station. Also when certain pieces of meat or prawns are cooked and cooled the chef plays a game with you to see if she or he can throw the piece into your open mouth. Not for the clumsy bad catchers amongst us but most often, your morsel or food lands where it needs to. 👍🏻
4. Teppanyaki dishes are reasonably priced and good value for money and well prepared.
5. A definitely fun interactive experience if you have fidgety kids at the table or want to inject some fun into your dining experience.
I had the lunch with my wife at this place and that was my first experience teppanyaki grill in Auckland. I picked the lunch menu which 19.90 which had a choice of proteins like fish, chicken and beef. It came with a set of miso soup, salad, rice and dessert. The food quality is alright but I found the environment and the service was good. I enjoyed the grilling service and found pretty entertaining. I won’t be coming back anytime soon due to the pricing. But absolute will be back when I’m ready for some sizzling lunch.
