Teppanyaki Inn

For Teppanyaki this place is excellent because you get your own table as a group, and you get the food quality, without over the top theatrics.
We had a really nice dinner here, and while service was aloof, I’d return to it over other places I’ve been to in Melbourne before.
It’s about $ 40-​$ 60 per person plus drinks. We also got the regular beef (not Wagyu which was pricier) and it was superb (although I’ve personally never really understood what ppl love so much about Wagyu anyway).

One can enjoy great sushi here. But these folks are renowned for their great BBQ steaks and seafood. No food throwing shenanigans here; Teppanyaki Inn is an upmarket Japanese restaurant.
I normally reserve this great eatery for business; a great place to impress clients, however this was a very special occasion in my parent’s 54^th wedding anniversary. Michael our gracious host greeted the clan with smiles and promptly escorted us to our table.
We ordered a mixture from the set menu; seafood, steak and chicken. All served to our individual tastes and liking. The food was exquisite and all served with a variety of vegetables which were equally enjoyable. They also boost an extensive wine list.
Will be back for sure!

So, there are a few different kinds of teppanyaki. They’re all cooked in front of you on a huge hotplate, but they aren’t all the kind that throw it at you.
Teppanyaki Inn is of the ‘spectacle’ kind, but you don’t get covered in food. They set thing on fire, squash stuff, toss slices of food and write on the plate with salt when they’re finished, but you needn’t wear a plastic poncho.
Having sampled a few teppanyaki grills around Melbourne, I feel I can safely say this is certainly amongst the best. Perhaps not the cheapest, but given the quality when compared to others in the same category it’s all but a bargain.
Whilst not really articulated on the menu, they cater to most dietary requirements (just let them know).
Oh, and their warm saki is heaven in a jug.
