From the moment you gaze at the elegant entrance down the long corridor off Collins Street in the Heart of the CBD, you just know you're in for a treat. The first thing you notice is the very attentive staff who take your coat upon entry and check it in the cloak room. This Japanese Restaurant oozes class at every turn. You could see and taste the freshness of every ingredient in every course that was served to us. The masterful chef carefully proportioned our serves so as not to give the other couple an unequal share. Coincidentally, we opted for the same set course menu, which consisted of a prawn and scallop appetizer, followed by a delicious Miso Soup. However, prior to the preparation of our entrees and mains, the chef prepared mounds of freshly shaved garlic cloves on the Teppanyaki Grill. This was purposefully done, so that he could add just the right amount of shaved grilled garlic to every course he served. We were happy, as all of us love garlic. He then started to expertly carve the tenderloin steak we ordered. There was no need to trim it, as it was lean as they come. Then came the chicken. OMG, How Scrumptious. Then there was the endless supply of accompanying dipping sauces, which made our dining experience a sheer delight. Believe it or not...researchers say that this is the proper way to consume a meal. We also had white rice to top things off. For those novices who have never eaten Teppanyaki Style before, I suggest pouring one of the savory sauces over the white rice to enhance the flavour.
Although, you would not call this a budget or even moderately priced restaurant, I still considered it to be great value for money. And lets face it folks...you can't really put a price on quality and the ultimate dining experience. Excellent for that special occasion.
