Great Place!
From the outside the place looks uninviting, but inside its very nice. The cooking table side(reservations) is big enough for a party, and its very fun. The food is great, I absolutely love the beef tepenyaki at this place, its soooo good, -

First off, I have never tried their teppanyaki or dinner because I have heard mixed reviews.
HOWEVER, I have tried their lunch specials. Delicious and worth it. It is usually quite busy because it is near a business-populated area.
I consider going here whenever I feel like a "cooked" Japanese meal. I rarely come here for the sushi/sashimi itself. It's the teriyakis and cooked bento boxes that got me coming back for lunch. I love the way they stir-fry (or should I say teppanyaki stir-fry) their vegetables.
Portion of meat + side of vegetables + rice = a solid tasty $10-15 lunch entree. -

We went for the teppenyaki dinner - good food - not spectacular but definitely enjoyable , good service, friendly staff and the best part was of course the performance by the chef. I enjoyed it so much it felt too short and left me wanting more !!! Amazing to see the food being cooked so fresh right in front of your eyes and served piping hot onto the plate ! Great experience and would definitely come back again, more so for the tricks than the food !

My boyfriend took me here almost a year ago for the Teppanyaki, some winter night, when we first started dating. The windows weren't opened on our night, unlike other reviewers' nights, so that was gooooddd.
1 appetizer, we shared the entree, 2 drinks. Our bill didn't end up too expensive :)
We ordered the Cherry Blossom Mushrooms for our appetizer, a dish of 3 big mushrooms, stuffed with scallop? (I forgot), plus crab sauce. It was so nicely presented, and the mushrooms were very juicy. I remember I liked it a lot :)
We ordered the chicken, came with fried rice, soup, ice cream? (says the website menu) I don't remember the dessert??? I was SO glad we shared it because there was a LOT of fried rice, and I couldn't finish my share.
The chef! He was sooooo brilliant. He started off with a knives show, then some cutting onions action, FIRE, and then eggs spectacular. He was very good :) but it seemed like this was routine to him, and he seemed bored when he was doing it.
Still a wonderful experience. Food wasn't WOW amazing, but I liked the presentation a loooottt. -

This was not my kind of dining experience at all (though one of the girls in the party said it was her favourite restaurant in the GTA but she's a self proclaimed picky eater, so we have quite different tastes in restaurants.)
Here's my assessment:
The food was good, but pretty generic which it has to be, since they're serving the exact same thing (except for slight meat variations) to every single person.
It probably would've been better with a larger or smaller group - 4 would've been perfect sitting around the corner, but with 6 people it was a bit awkward.
Our meal felt rushed - I couldn't believe we had salad, soup, main course, dessert, and wine in about an hour.
The flare wasn't too special - it was good at first, but since the whole thing went pretty quickly, there wasn't much time for much else.
If others wanted to go back, I wouldn't oppose... but I wouldn't choose to go back on my own or bring others - we (my boyfriend and I) usually have much nicer and longer evenings for a $75 bill.
***Tip: Order your wine by the glass - it's the best value.
We went with the half liter and only managed 2 and a bit glasses for $15. For $5.50 you get a glass filled to the top. You do the math. :-)***Listed in: Eating and drinking in…

Went there for sushi tonight so I can't comment on the Tappan.
The decor was crisp and modern. The dining room was clean and spacious. The prices on the menu seemed fair.
My friend and I each ordered one of the sushi combos and were both very pleased. The presentation of the meal was lovely and we found the taste to be quite good. The staff were all warm and welcoming. Overall we were both very satisfied and plan to go back again.Listed in: Sushi-Monger!

Despite the name, you won't find Chairman Kaga waxing glorious fables about foodstuffs here. You will however see talented chefs spin knives, flip vegetables, and grill your dinner with flair (and flames!) right before your eyes. The Teppanyaki table lets diners sit in a large 'U' with other diners around a large flat grill. The performance of dinner preparation is entertaining and amusing, as the chefs prepare your meals while performing ridiculous stunts. If you want to, you can also sit at a "normal" table which involves ordering from a menu and not watching someone balance an egg on the edge of a spatula but that sounds LAME. I'd go back soon if this place wasn't in the middle of nowhere, i.e., not walking distance from club district.
Obligatory Title Pun: More like Teppan-WACKY.
Menu Readability: I had trouble with it; could be a lot simpler. Basically, if you're getting Teppanyaki, you just pick your type of meat and they do the rest.
Need to mention: The windows were wide open in our dining room, and we were freezing. It warmed up once the grilling started, but I'd bring a sweater in the winter.
What this place teaches me about myself: Light a stack of onions on fire and you've won me over, forever.Listed in: I think I'm turning Japanese, Mastering Missisauga

It's tricky coming here in the winter. When they seated us the windows were wide open and therefore it was extremely cold. However, the minute the ignite the cooking surface, it gets very warm. It turns out the seats by the window are the preferred spots.
Simple menu - choose your meat, seafood and/or the vegetarian option. As you enjoy your miso soup and japanese salad, sit back and be entertained by the cook. They are trained to perform tricks for you and tell jokes at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking!
It's great having your food served directly from the grill. Fried rice and vegetables are also served with your meat. It didn't seem like that much food as it arrived in waves, but I was stuffed by the end of the meal. Oh ya, they include ice cream too - and they have some of my favourite flavours (green tea and mango). -

I come for the entertainment the food I don't think so.
Aller Cusine! I so wanted to be one of those people who got to try the food the chefs would make on the show. I loved iron chef the Japanese version not the american one. This is the closets thing I got to being on the show.
A definete must is to request or make a reservation for the teppanyaki tables. I highly recommend it for a large group for, when I went I had 15 ppl with me. The waitresses were very nice same as the chefs with the exception of one. Thank goodness I didn't get that chef however my friends on the other table did. They said that it was entertaining with all the things he did, however he wasn't into it b/c my friend said when he started he was like "I guess I have to entertain you guys in a very non-enthusiastic voice." What a way to start your whole dinning experience.
The chef that I had was very lively and enthusiastic, and also made lots of jokes. He did all the stuff you would see at a japanese restaurant like that, from all the flipping of food to making volcanoes to trying to toss food into our mouths, which btw, I was the only one who caught it. That whole entertainment part of the meal was very good.
The food though not so much, the fried rice was okay not much flavour too it that I had to add more soya sauce, and this is coming from someone who never uses soya sauce not even for sushi. The meat was okay kinda tasted like something you would cook at home and when you go to a restaurant you want something that you can't get anywhere else. I've also had the sushi here which is very fresh, the sushi rice was great as well the only downfall was that they used way too much rice for their rolls.
Ites to definetly get
Honestly go for the entertainment...... -

Food is great. and for the cost, it's not bad.
I've come here a few times for the lunch specials. At around $10-13 you can get two types of rolls, a bento box, all with salad and miso soup.
Today we came here for the grill area, but I wasn't impressed at all with the service.
We started at 12pm, and went til 2pm. Sitting in the corner it was hard to get the attention of servers. When why did finally come to us it was at least 20 mins after we sat down.
Or order took another 20-25 mins. What I don't understand is that none of this stuff is cooked and will get cooked at the table in front of me.
It could be because the 2 chefs were pre-occupied with other tables, but they were done for at least 15 mins before one finally showed up to our table.
He did his tricks, but not as many as the guy next to us. A volcano of steam made out of onion rings. A 'japanese egg roll' where he rolled an egg on the table (no one really got that). This is no benihana, and the price point reflects that.
I got a $12 scallop dish that comes with veggies, salad and soup and steamed rice but i asked for beef fried fried rice for an extra $3.50. it was worth it.
My tea was never refilled until we asked, and my co worker commented on the tea pot and he spent 5 mins explaining to us how awesome and flawed it was.
The servers are nice, but it took way too long. A wed. lunch should only take an hour. -

Really like this place! Great healthy food! I seem to always order the teriaki chicken or beef, but last night I tried the salmon. The chicken and beef are always great and the salmon was really good! The salmon like the chicken and beef were grilled. The salmon might have been cooked just a minute or so too long but it was still really good. This dinner comes with rice, salad and a bunch of sauted vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, and squash. They use a mild amount of teriyaki sauce on the dinner itself which is the way I like it but if you like extra sauce be sure to ask. I also always get their edemame which is a good amount and is lightly salted. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get your to-go food. I would definitely recommend. Great food, really nice atmosphere and the staff is always nice and polite.

All the other reviews talk write about the steakhouse side; but I always go to the sushi side ( never a wait though) ans service good too. I always get the Sushi combo special ; they have 18 different one; my favourite is the Hiroshima roll combo; shrimp tempura; spicy tuna, avocado and then topped with Tuna again. All the combo comes with soup, salad and 6 pieces of sushi ( yes in addition to the 8 pc roll); getting hungry thinking about it; So why here -simply it's fresh every time = others in area are not as fresh or tasty -- here it is consistently good

*** to bad you can't give a restaurant 3.5 ***
Went to the Iron Chef (love the name & the show) with a group of friends to just chill, chat and have a good time. Iron Chef has two kinds of dinning - one is the restaurant and the other is on the teppanyaki table.
The iron chef has many trained chefs that do a lot of cool tricks on the teppanyaki table - if you have been to other teppanyaki style restaurants than you know what I am talking about - most of the tricks are fairly standard, flipping and spinning knives, setting things on fire and throwing food into people's mouths! Though I think what makes the whole experience exciting is the actual chef .. the chef who cooked for us was witty, funny and very chatty. Not sure what his name is, but when you walk into the restaurant his picture is on the pull up banner...
getting back to the food, the food is your typical Japanese food with fish, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, - most meals come with soup, salad, and your choice of rice (steamed / fried) - i went with the steamed but after watching him make the fried rice .. i wish i had chosen the fried rice lol .. **one thing to note - is that this place has very few veggie options (it is a steak house) ...
Other than that the place was not bad, the service from the waiters was a little slow - but i;ll let it pass :P
Also, we tried the appetizers - they were "okay" - the dumplings weren't good and a little over done, and the sushi was okay .. not their specialty i guess
overall i recommend this place if you have a big group and want a little entertainment too! -

Very good tapanyaki table, pretty decent japanese chef, well i'd say the best one in mississauga/oakville. One thing about this place, it's quite popular and if you go there especially with tapanyaki in mind, do make sure you have a reservation, otherwise they'll turn you down. it looks so small from the outside, and once you step in you realize that it's a pretty decent japanese place run by the chinese people. offcourse they have Chinese, Japanese and Korean all sorts of foods. Scarboro/Markham has lots of good asian places, especially "A taste of japan" for tapanyaki. yum yummmmmmmm

Review from Mike C.

I used to prefer Prince Sushi on Eglington for their Teppanyaki but after recent repeated visits of both places I now deem this place as the best Teppanyaki in town. Chefs and wait staff are all very friendly. They don't rush to put all the food in front of you at once. More importantly their chefs know how to cook. They do attempt to show their enthusiasm at the table but unfortunately you can tell they got worn out having to do this to hundreds of people every week. Still good enough to entertain my little ones though as they love watching the volcano trick (setting stacked onions on fire). No disappointment from the sushi bar either as the fish they use is pretty fresh and properly prepared. The decor they have did not give me a complete Japanese feel but the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. I left without a greasy smell from their Teppanyaki table every time which was important for me because I like to go back.
