Here in Queensland, there are seemingly infinite restaurant choices. This makes it so that searching for a "restaurant near me" does little to help in the decision-making process. It is important to narrow down the options in cases like this.

 

When I'm looking for something truly unique, I start by deciding what type of cuisine I'm looking for. Then, I think of the experience I'd like to have that day. This yields much more useful information than just entering a general search for a restaurant near me!

 

If I want to be truly entertained at the restaurant, in a way that doesn't involve the usual music, dancing, or televised sports, I know it's time to look for teppanyaki restaurants Gold Coast. At these restaurants, the cooking of the food is the entertainment. The chefs show many culinary tricks, like fancy knifework, as they prepare and cook the food right at the table. In fact, the "teppanyaki" of the name refers to the special flat grill they use to fry everything up. The preparation and cooking at these restaurants is such a spectacle that many people bring large groups with them to see it.

 

Some teppanyaki restaurants Gold Coast also sell drinks, which eliminates the need to visit a separate bar. This makes them great one-stop locations for entertainment, food, and drinks. Thanks to the fact that the entertainment isn't just some guys on a stage, the entire experience is wonderfully memorable.

 

It's important to remember that this spectacle isn't available at every Japanese restaurant. Here, the sight of the preparation of the food is as important as the food itself. Also, many generic Japanese restaurants offer mostly sushi and sashimi, while a teppanyaki restaurant serves plenty of fried food options as well. That's a big plus for those who are nervous about food that isn't cooked via traditional Australian heated methods, or who just don't prefer fish in general.

 

One thing that is similar to other restaurants is that there are teppanyaki restaurants of varying quality levels and menu options. For one of the best, check out Asami Teppanyaki in Surfers Paradise. It has some of the showiest chefs, a cocktail bar, and free parking. It is also close to other attractions and a hotel, which makes it a great stop for travelers.

 

Notably, Asami Teppanyaki is also friendly to children, and has several kid's options on the menu. Kids can also enjoy our "mocktails," which look like regular cocktails but contain no alcohol. Because of this, our restaurant is a great stop for families on vacation as well as local patrons.
