Japanese Teppanyaki Inn

Decades-old Collins Street teppanyaki. wagyu sizzle, sesame sauce, birthday surprises.

Classy, theatrical Japanese fine dining. traditional decor, yukata-clad waitstaff and a tableside chef show pitched for celebration nights rather than casual dinners.

Tableside teppanyaki chefs performing without the food-flinging gimmicks, traditional uniforms, a side lounge for pre/post-dinner drinks and dessert, and staff who arrange birthday champagne and surprises.

Reviewers repeatedly call the teppanyaki style authentic, from the chefs' technique to traditional staff uniforms, though a change in ownership has some long-term regulars questioning consistency.

Set menus run $100-140+ per head and most reviewers call it worth it for the occasion, though several recent visitors flagged smaller portions and price rises since ownership changed.
