Kajiya Teppanyaki Bar in Sheffield

Fantastic food and experience 🔥

Had an absolutely amazing dinner here. Had the seafood set menu which had lobster, scallops and also steak all of which was cooked to perfection. Great service. Will definitely be coming back

10/10, we went for Valentine’s Day the first time and then the second for my partners birthday. Amazing food and great service! First time we went he got us involved and my partner had a turn chopping some egg, both times we caught egg in our mouth (sounds more fun then it sounds haha) We ordered the sea food set meal both times as it was so delicious. We even got to take left overs home as he made us so much food.

Had dinner here for our anniversary, absolutely amazing food and service. DK is a great host, very welcoming and charismatic. He provides top tier service along with delicious food made with a lot of care. Portion sizes were very generous, the food is made to your taste and the prices are very good too. It is my new favourite place to eat in Sheffield

8 of us went for my daughters birthday this evening. It was brilliant. Great food and service. It’s small so we had it to ourselves which was even better. Made it very special. Would highly recommend it!!

This restaurant only has one employee. The chef is the owner, cook and dishwasher. He is more than just a chef though. He is also an entertainer. Engaging with all his diners with charismatic flair, humor and captivating showmanship. His warmth and hospitality is unmatched and it will make your dining worthwhile.

Absolutely incredible experience! Well worth the money; we would do it a hundred times over if we lived in Sheffield!

This is an amazing hidden gem of a restaurant! Had a fantastic meal here as a family of 4. Really intimate and cosy. The chef was so attentive, polite and friendly and his food was incredible. Totally understand all the other 5 star ratings. Well worth a visit.

We have been twice now and always had a brilliant experience. The food is incredibly fresh, with the seafood being outstanding. The atmosphere is intimate yet open and exciting. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a mid-week treat.

Best teppanyaki in the Sheffield

Delicious and great meat quality

A really intimate venue. The chef is warm and friendly, and the food was delicious and served in large portions.

Great place, with excellent service from the chef and really tasty food. I had the sirloin which was lovely and the fried rice was some of the tastiest I had ever had. The portions were a lot bigger than expected and we ended up taking some home, so thought the price was reasonable.

Very very tasty food and the chef was really nice and attentive. We got the set menu and the portion sizes are big which make tasty leftovers. Can't wait to go again, highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience tonight. Amazing food, service and a lovely, intimate atmosphere. Will visit when I’m back in Sheffield again. Thank you.

What a find. Real food cooked in front of us. It was delicious too. He says he does Uber eats at lunchtime but likes to concentrate on serving his customers in the evening.

Incredible food and service. Don't miss the chance to go!

A really great evening and atmosphere. Would for sure come again!

I recently stumbled upon a hidden gem in Sheffield - a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant that turned out to be an absolute delight. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. What made this place truly special was that it was run by a single chef who skillfully cooked the food right in front of us. I opted for the lobster tail Hitachi menu, and I must say, it was a superb meal. The chef's expertise was evident as he flawlessly prepared the lobster tail with precision and finesse. The flavors were exquisite, and the dish was cooked to absolute perfection. It was a true delight to watch the chef's culinary skills in action. The entire dining experience was nothing short of lovely. The intimate setting, with the chef's cooking station as the centerpiece, created a unique and immersive atmosphere. Not only was the food delicious, but the interactive nature of the meal made it even more enjoyable. The chef engaged with the guests, providing insights into the preparation process and making us feel like a part of the culinary journey. The service was exceptional, despite the fact that there was only one person managing the entire restaurant. The chef's dedication and attentiveness to every detail, from the presentation of the dishes to ensuring our dining needs were met, was truly commendable. It was evident that he took great pride in his work and genuinely cared about providing a memorable experience for his guests. In conclusion, my visit to this Japanese teppanyaki restaurant was an absolute delight. It was a lovely little hidden gem in Sheffield that I was fortunate to discover. The combination of the chef's culinary skills, the superb meal, and the interactive dining experience made it truly memorable. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine or looking for a unique and intimate dining experience, I highly recommend visiting this wonderful restaurant.

I have been here many many times. The food is always absolutely amazing. The meat is always cooked to perfection, and the prawns are phenomenal! By far the best teppanyaki I’ve been to. The chef is personable, attentive, and clearly takes pride in his work as his cleanliness and hygiene are flawless. Always caters to your needs and tastes. The food is very reasonably priced. I’ve never left there disappointed. Would very highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant. Small and intimate, a great chef preparing great food. People should be queuing to get into here. I cannot praise it enough. We went for our sons 21st. The food, saki and chef were all excellent. Go and support this small independent restaurant.

Absolutely phenomenal food! My partner and I came here at lunch for a special occasion and got the hibachi set chicken thighs and sirloin steak. It was plenty of food (we should have come hungrier) and we only just managed dessert. The set came with miso soup, salad, the chicken/steak, fried rice and fried bean sprouts. Tbh I thought the bean sprouts were an odd addition - I didn't know you could make them be actually tasty! Hoping to drag my parents here sometime, this place is too good to be kept a secret.

WOW! Not often you go to a restaurant with 5* reviews, and it delivers. This place delivers, and then some. And delivers more. Amazing Teppanyaki. Small, intimate. High quality food. Exceptional value. Go there.

The friendly and handsome boss is funny and humorous😊It is very enjoyable to taste the delicious food😋👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

We ordered the Hibachi Chicken Thighs and Hibachi Lobster Tail. The food was absolutely fantastic and everything tasted amazing! The atmosphere itself is lovely and cozy, it can seat ~10 people comfortably. The chef was nice and friendly, asking if our food was okay, what spice level we wanted the food to be, etc. The price for the quality, taste, and amount of food you get is amazing. There was loads of food and we weren’t able to finish it all (but the chef did ask if we wanted it in a box to go) Overall it was amazing and would highly recommend!

Amazing experience.big thanks to the chef who took care of us . Top quality food and even better service

An unusual but truly authentic way of having dinner. To watch the chef produce cook & serve everything to order right in front of you is amazing. Can't recommend enough, a great single party experience.

Very enjoyable evening. Excellent, personalised service, food was amazing and the experience was unusual and would definitely recommend! Good job!

The chef is so nice. Unlike other restaurants, the food is actually good! I loved this place and I recommend to come here!!!

A hidden gem in the heart of Sheffield. Enjoyed the seafood menu. The owner was friendly and we enjoyed watching our food made in front of us. Highly recommend a visit when in Sheffield.

The food was delicious, the portions were quite good. We really enjoyed ourselves!

A fantastic spot for both lunch and dinner in the city centre, hosting traditional Japanese cuisine. The food and service is impeccable with a variety of options for all diners (vegetarian options also available), highly recommend the Hibachi Prawn or Salmon. There's nothing better than seeing fresh ingredients being cooked right in front of you! Thank you very much for a special lunch, will definitely be back soon!

Great experience! Really good food cooked freshly in front of you….small cosy restaurant with friendly chef who owns it. Set menu gives plenty of choice but very filling so you can opt for smaller set menu :)

Loved every moment there. The chef was really friendly, especially to our kids.

Very amazing food great service overall amazing

It is genuine and one of the best Teppanyaki in Sheffield. Highly recommend. It is such a lovely small restaurant so remember to book a table before you go.

Absolutely lovely little hidden gem in Sheffield. Restaurant was run by one guy who cooks the food in front of you. Had the lobster tail Hitachi menu. Superb meal! Really, really lovely experience and food.

This is an amazing little restaurant, the chef (owner) really looked after us and adapted the menu to suit our sons needs. We absolutely loved it, amazing value for money.

Amazing dining experience! Very cosy restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. Would highly recommend!

My partner brought me here for my birthday. The food is amazing, and the chef was great. I don't have a bad word to say about this place and I absolutely recommend it. Will definitely be visiting again.

An absolute hidden gem in the Cathedral Quarter. A nice and cosy setting, the chef/owner is welcoming and friendly, showmanship expected of a Teppanyaki, and the food was beautifully cooked. Definitely a place to return to

Chicken there is sooo recommended. Nice service~

I would encourage everyone to try this gem of a place if you visit or live in Sheffield. My partner and I came away with full bellies and big smiles on our face. The food is freshly cooked and delicious, the chef is attentive and friendly. We made sure to book in advance and were not disappointed in the least! I highly recommend this place.

Truly amazing food made fresh in front of you. Cannot fault the chef/food/service/atmosphere. Chef was attentive and always asked how we liked our food before preparing. Everything tasted of the highest quality

After reading the other reviews we decided to book for a family special occasion. So glad we did the food was delicious and our host/chef was very welcoming. Such an intimate dining experience, very relaxed atmosphere and we will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed my visit here. Food was great ,the place was clean and well kept and the chef was good company throughout our meal. The home made tepanyaki sauce here is amazing. Well worth a visit,best to book by phone. I left feeling full and happy.would recommend.

Food was delicious, good portions, Chef was very friendly. Will definitely recommend and visit again!

Definitely a hidden gem, almost didn’t want to share this place with anyone else 🤣 Food was amazing, everything’s cooked freshly in front of you. The chef is very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come again.

Amazing service and food. Incredible chef and host. Recommend and will come again!

What a little gem of a restaurant! My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday and I can't recommend it highly enough. Tucked away on a little side street, you'd easily walk past without noticing it, however I'm so glad we gave it a try. The food was beautifully cooked, to our preferred spice level and tastes, and the chef/owner was a delight to chat to. We will definitely be back! Thank you :)

Fantastic little restaurant (I reckon it only seats 10 people at the most). Host/chef was very welcoming. There was only myself and my partner in the night we went, but he made us very comfortable and the service was excellent. The quality of the food was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to go somewhere away from the big chains. A real hidden gem.

Hidden gem in the area, tasty scallops, teppanyaki tofu and pancake ice cream. Personally I'd have preferred less MSG in the egg fried rice but everything else were great, would definitely come back

This was a fantastic experience. The food was fresh, delicious and of a high quality. The owner cooked the food and was really friendly. I would 100% recommend this local outlet.

Great food and friendly chef. The sirloin was excellent - tender and cooked exactly to the doneness I asked for.

Popped in for lunch. Really friendly chef, great food and theatre. Thoroughly recommend.

Spent a fantastic evening here . Food outstanding and chef superb. Very welcoming and informative about Japanese cuisine and ingredients. Even gave my so a birthday present. Will definitely return.

Amazing little restaurant and cheaper than other teppanyaki restaurants! I accidentally came across it while looking at something else on Google Maps and I’m glad I did. I popped in during lunch hours and had the meat feast set option. The sirloin steak was very succulent. The chef is the owner with tonnes of experience and caters to your preferences. I have no allergies but 10/10 to him for still asking before prepping all dishes. He really knows his stuff!

Fantastic food and service! We love to visit Kajiya for an authentic and intimate teppanyaki experience. The owner is very warm and welcoming and all the ingredients are of excellent quality at a reasonable price. We shall keep coming back!

6 of us dined here last night. The food was phenomenal, and amazing value for money. The chef was a lovely genuine guy who has just started up this business and has brought a new authentic experience to Sheffield. The restaurant only seats 8 people so is very intimate. We will definitely be returning and wish lots of success for Kajiya.

A lovely place and absolutely delicious food! The chef/owner provided an excellent dining experience. Definitely would recommend.

What an amazing little restaurant; hidden away on North Church Street but well worth seeking out! We arrived for lunch service shortly after opening and were greeted by the chef & owner. During the cooking and our meal we conversed with the chef about the food, cooking process, and the traditions of this kind of restaurant. All the food was beautifully cooked right before our eyes and served piping hot. You're meant to eat as the chef cooks for you, rather than waiting for a meal to be complete. This is a nice departure from traditional Western practice. We'll be back here without a doubt to try some other items from the menu.

We were so excited to try this mysterious, cosy looking new place just round the corner from us. The chef who is also the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The food was cooked fabulously with good quality ingredients. A lovely, intimate experience.
