Teppanyaki in Leeds

Lovely authentic restaurant. Great food and service.

Just exceptional, every time, a real treat

As the name suggests, this is a teppanyaki restaurant, located in central Leeds. It is quite an experience, as the food gets prepared right in front of you in a playful, interactive manner. The portions are generous and there is also a large selection of drinks. The set menus include a starter, a main (prepared right there) and a dessert.

The food is average but the atmosphere is fun and it has good service

Food was very tasty, the chef we were seated with was good and I enjoyed the interactive experience. Only downside was it was so crowded. Personally I think there was 2 seats too many at each table which meant you had to keep your arms pinned to your sides so you didn't elbow the stranger next to you. Also the seating area is tight so people had to keep moving if you wanted to get past. Would recommend as an experience, but it is expensive so not something for a casual meal.

Such great service and food. Can't wait to go back.

Is an experiment with a chef cook in front of your eyes with all fresh ingredients

Me and my partner decided to pop in after been around the shops and hadn't tried this place yet, where big lovers of Japanese, Thai, Korean and Chinese food and the food was stunning! The service was brilliant aswell, everyone was so friendly and chatty, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone

Superb in every way Rick the chef is outstanding and great fun.

Amazing food, drinks and friendly service at this family-run restaurant. They really know how to make sure you have a fun time at Teppanyaki Leeds.

Gran lugar para el almuerzo o la cena lo recomendaría encarecidamente para todas las ocasiones. Interactivo y divertido junto con deliciosa comida. Niños también

Tuvimos un tiempo realmente encantador, visitado para un cumpleaños de amigos a mitad de semana. La comida y las bebidas eran excelentes, gran elección en el menú, así que algo para todos! El chef era increíble, tan entretenido y los tamaños de las porciones eran enormes! Todos los servidores eran tan amables, un gran ambiente, volveremos!

The best Teppanyaki you'll find! The most amazing food, cooked by the best chefs and run by the nicest people you'll meet! A truly wonderful dining experience from start to finish.

Went for my partners birthday meal. We went at lunchtime on a Thursday and we were the only ones there. Lovely and quiet, beautiful inside. Like a little hidden gem. The staff were fantastic, and helped my young daughter to choose some sushi she would like. Definitely got dinner and a show! My daughter now wants to come for her birthday too!

Absolutely bloody brilliant. Fantastic lunch - thank you.

Visited here with some work friends. The food was really nice and the Chef very entertaining.

They are not stingy with the portion (for delivery). Great portion for Salmon, fresh and tasty Salmon rice. The steak rice was not as great as the Salmon but still fairly good.

Teppanyaki is a hidden gem perfect for families. The sashimi beef melts in your mouth, the dumplings are delicious, and the sushi is the best in Leeds. The live cooking is both entertaining and engaging for the kids, making the meal a fun experience for all. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The quality and experience make it worth every penny. We highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks again Isaac, Ethan, Jo, Phil

This was our second time attending and the staff were very attentive, with asking us our food options and we were seated within 15 mins of our reservation time. The chef at our teppanyaki table was very funny, ensured we all interacted along with him. Food is always filling and worth the money.

Nuestro restaurante favorito de todos los tiempos. La comida y el servicio es increíble. Los chefs son tan entretenidos y nunca dejan de impresionar. Muy recomendable

Una noche fantástica de comida y entretenimiento. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida a la llegada y el personal se tomó el tiempo para explicar todas las opciones disponibles. Una vez mostrado a nuestra mesa los entrantes eran excelentes y luego llegó el chef y nos mantuvo a todos muy entretenidos mientras cocinamos nuestra deliciosa comida. Entre todos nosotros probamos prácticamente todas las carnes disponibles en el menú y todos coincidimos en que era excelente.

Fantastic food and service. Very welcoming and friendly staff. 10/10

I've never actually been to this restaurant, I've only ever ordered delivery. It's been spot on every time, really incredible food. The new Korean fried chicken was INCREDIBLE. The volcano roll (we loved the salmon and tuna), but especially the prawn tempura roll are our favourites. We also loved the karaage chicken started and the chicken yakisoba noodles. They often have 2 for 1 offers on as well so it feels like good value for the quality of food. Honestly it's hard to not order from here every time!

Absolutely fantastic food and service highly recommended

We had a free evening and chose this place at random. There are fixed price menus as well as normal menus and all the food looks delicious. Customers sit round a hit plate table. After starters a Chef comes to the table and in a brilliantly entertaining way cooks your dinner in front of you. You also get a little call button to call a waiter to get extra drinks etc. It was one of the best meals out I have had in a long time.

It was fine. Food not awesome tasty like some others in Leeds, but this was ridiculously expensive. It was worth half the price. 2 adults, 2 children £205 and we had two bottles of beer each. Not worth the money at all.

I had my 70th birthday at Teppanyaki to celebration with a group of 12 friends. We were thoroughly delighted and enjoyed the amazing food cooked in our presence by Headchef Ricky and his entertainments was first class. Thank you Chef👍 We laughed so much and left the restaurant full of food and very jolly with 🤣. The service was top class over and beyond with attention to details and ambient absolutely relaxing. I fully recommend Teppanyaki to anyone who wants to enjoy a great memorabl time out!!

Good atmosphere, happy father's day dinner

Great food with excellent flavours. Fantastic cocktails and wonderful staff members. Great as a group or as an informal date! Must go!

Food and entertainment by chefs was lovely. Overall the experience was good. Only negative is how a new member of the waiting staff was being corrected openly and not in a nice way infront of customers. A little uncomfortable to see

Great 'theatre' of Japanese food. Love the presentation, food and staff

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere and love the show from the chef. Food is good as well.

Worse restaurant, specially there bar waitress very rude. Food come so late .even takeaway they make it so late. I never recommend this restaurant

This is an amazing place for family, friends and couples! The food is tasty, flavourful and presented with care. The chefs put on an amazing performance and each person is made to feel included! I will be coming again

Had an amazing time here having dinner with friends. Loved the show by the chef, the food and ambiance. Really had a great night.

These guys are amazing my step daughter didn't fancy this as she autistic and will only eat pizza at the moment but they let me go domino's and order a pizza and eat with us as the chef worked his magic fantastic experience

A thoroughly enjoyable meal was had by all four of us. The greeting staff were very friendly and helpful, the chefs entertaining and highly skilled, the food was exceptional and the kids loved thier mocktails. Cannot fault the experience.

Amazing and fresh food, wonderful atmosphere and top class service. The food tasted amazing and cooked in the front of you all fresh. Very recommend and we will go again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My first time visiting a Japanese restaurant and I wished I had been here long before now. The food is nice, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cool. I am surely coming again!

Came with the family, for dinner, ordered a lot. I would recommend.

This was my first visit to Teppanyaki Leeds, it was different to other restaurants I'd been to & I quite enjoyed the novelty value but not sure I'd rush back. I enjoyed the food & it was good to see it cooked in front of us from fresh ingredients, however the service generally wasn't great, the waiting staff prioritised customers having the set menu, meaning those of us who weren't were kept waiting quite a long time.

We visited this restaurant last weekend and we loved every minute. The food was excellent and the service was next to none.... Very reasonably priced and drinks were pretty cheap as well... Will definitely recommend it, and if ever back in Leeds without a doubt, we will be returning

The food was amazing fresh and nice presentation.

Booked last Saturday evening for my son's seventh birthday. He attended with three of his friends. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. He said it would be his go to restaurant for his birthday celebrations in the future.

As much a show as a meal out and it is brilliant. So entertaining, tasty and the service was some of the best we’ve had

Visited for a work event, on first impression we were a little bit concerned as the resturant is slightly dated and could do with modernising slightly. The food however was top notch! All courses were excellent, our chef was entertaining and got everyone involved. Service was a little slow with drink but all in all you can't fault the food and everyone enjoyed the evening !

One of a kind experience, the staff are welcoming, kind, considerate and some of the most talented people ive seen. The food is top teir quality and the amount they give you is more than filling.

The chief is very entertaining and interact with customers.

Absolutely amazing. The waitresses were so kind and attentive. The chefs were hilarious. We loved the interactive parts where you threw the egg in the hole. The food was absolutely incredible. A definite restaurant to add to your bucket list in Leeds.

This is a very different restaurant where the chefs who have a style of there own cook the food in front of you. It's a looovely place to eat and certainly somewhere I would return if ever in Leeds.

It was our first time visiting Teppanyaki in Leeds. We had so much fun! We loved the show, the chef was very skilled and the food was amazingly fresh and delicious. They also sell quality Japanese whisky. We waited a bit to be served, but the food was worth the wait.

Always delicious food and great service, along with the entertainment from the chef.

Fantastic experience and great food, on the expensive side.

Title: Extremely Disappointed with Lack of Refund and Communication I recently had a highly disappointing experience with Teppanyaki. I had paid a £40 deposit for an event that I was unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. According to their website, they clearly state that if you are unable to attend, they will refund the deposit by selling your place to someone else. However, despite following the necessary steps and reaching out to them multiple times, I have not received any response or refund. What makes this situation even more frustrating is the fact that the event took place on a Saturday night, which is typically a high-demand time. I had hoped that my spot would easily be filled, allowing me to receive my deposit back as promised. However, the lack of communication and disregard for my emails has left me feeling ignored and disrespected. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and I accept responsibility for not being able to attend the event. However, I believe that it is the responsibility of the event organizer to uphold their own refund policy and provide clear and timely communication to their customers. I have made an attempt to contact them through email, but my messages have been completely ignored. This level of unprofessionalism is truly disheartening and reflects poorly on their reputation. I strongly urge anyone considering attending an teppankyaki to think twice before committing. Their lack of accountability and disregard for their customers' concerns is simply unacceptable. I hope that by sharing my experience, others can be spared from the disappointment and frustration that I have endured. In conclusion, I am extremely disappointed with teppenyaki for their failure to refund my deposit and their complete lack of communication. It is disheartening to see a company not uphold their own policies and ignore their customers' concerns. I would strongly advise others to reconsider attending events organized by this company.

Fantastic food and interaction with the chef

We’ve enjoyed the food ! Staffs are friendly!

Great staff lovely tasty food 😋

Booked for NYE and emailed ahead to check children could dine at 8pm. Arrived, ordered food, seated at table after 45 mins of waiting to be told no kids after 6pm and if we wanted to stay he had to eat off the adults menu...despite being given a kids menu to order off and the order being taken!!! I explained that i had emailed prior to booking and was told i hadnt, had to login to wifi and prove the error all whilst waiting for food and being surrounded by other diners. The customer service was appalling and we left without dining. The restaurant lost around £300 for the sake of 1 kids meal.... nothing in T&Cs either. Spoilt our NYE and we had paid £40 in taxis too!

New years eve booking, late to be seated, over priced food, poor quality. Saw a family turned away for having a child with them despite pre booking. Not worth the money or visit.... won't bother returning.

Avoid!! Emailed ahead to check children were welcome on NYE to arrive, give our order, be seated at the table and told we cannot eat with children after 6pm! I showed the manager our email exchanges and was told we had to pay an adults price (upwards of £50) if we were to stay. So... theyve lost a good few hundred pounds of an order and spoilt NYE for us! Shocking service! Avoid

A really fantastic experience, helpful friendly staff, makes a trip to Leeds really great.

The food was absolutely exceptional, the showmanship too added to the experience. By far the best place to eat in the whole of Leeds. If you are going to Leeds for a day out, I recommend booking a table here!

Visited Teppanyaki with my family for the first time. What a fantastic experience and the food was excellent. Service was superb. The whole experience was enjoyed by everyone. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great atmosphere and food was amazing. Lovley staff and the chef was very entertaining.

Always excellent! Amazing everything.

Loved the atmosphere staff were great, helpful, polițe and courteous. The chefs were great, food was fresh my only complaint is every meat and fish dish was somewhat tasteless simply because everything is cooked în butter and soy sauce it would have been nicer if we had a selection of sauces that we could dip our beef, chicken , lobster and prawns în.

First visit to this Leeds institution, the food is very good but the whole point is the theatre and the fun. Amazing.

Teppanyaki is located in the cellar of the building, and has a steep, high stairway down from street level, and then more steps once inside the restaurant. As someone of limited mobility, I found these steps challenging. As far as I'm aware there is no wheelchair access. However, once you're down there the experience and the delicious food is well worth the effort!

Very good food and performance from the chef. Was not expecting it. I recommend, especially if you would like to try something different from usual

Ordered through Uber eats 22/10. Slight hiccup with the order but food was delicious as always and problem was easily rectified talking with staff.

Had the spicy lamb for lunch. Would recommend.

Had a lovely evening celebrating my Daughter’s 18th! Food was Amazing, fresh & tasty. Staff really friendly, helpful & service was spot on. Highly Recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. Thank you

We were a table of 4. We ordered the most expensive set, the Royale which had king prawns, lobster, beef fillet, chicken and salmon. Was extremely disappointment with the portions side. We each only had 2 prawns. TWO. And a small baby sized salmon fillet. Chef was very entertaining. The head waitress/manager was very demanding. Kept pushing for us to place an order while we were sitting although we mentioned to her that we were waiting for one more guest. I asked if she could wait and she said if we want a table, we need to order right that second. Mind you, it was only 6:30pm and there were only 2 other guest in the restaurant the WHOLE NIGHT. No need to push us to order at that very second, it’s not like we would just leave. We ordered a few alcoholic drinks and when one of our guests ordered a ginger ale, she laughed and must have assumed it was cheap. Extremely unprofessional.

Brilliant food and atmosphere 👌

Stunning food and experience as always. Been coming here over ten years. Never change

Chef Randolp was really amazing and very friendly. He knew how to entertain people while doing his passion of cooking. Waitresses are very accommodating too. All in all me and wife had a great dinner date for our wedding anniversary. Thank you again kuya Randolph!

Excellent staff! Excellent food! Excellent experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We were here for a belated birthday celebration, not that that is of any real importance to the venue but you have to start somewhere, anyway back to the gaff. The theater of the restaurant was entertaining enough and at times the guy preparing the food was quite funny and was clearly out to give us a memorable evening which was great the down side though to this was the fact that though he had a flair for entertaining he had only a modicum of skill for cooking. The steak was cooked perfectly which is no mean feat and the tiger prawns and scallops satisfactory and if that was where the food ended then then my rating would have been 4/5, unfortunately the accompanying rice and stir fry was almost inedible due to the copious amounts of soy sauce the cusp had drowned the food in, it was as though he had been taught/told if in doubt splash it again and again and again. Was it worth the money? I'm afraid not, well not with the calibre of "chef" we had, if the person cooking was to improve and possibly the other cooks are more skilled then it would be well worth it with anything you hadn't eaten packed up in a take out box for later but at the moment it's school report time and "COULD DO BETTER" 2/3 stars.

The great experience and showmanship was massively marred by the high temperature. There was 1 ac unit and it was set at 26 degrees. The temperature outside was 28 degrees, but it felt the same as the inside temp, where there are 4 large hotplates pumping out heat. When you are paying £80 a head you expect some creature comforts. The restaurant need to invest in proper climate control, or be empty throughout the summer. I have been lots of times before obviously during winter I now realise, and it is a great night out.

friendly atmosphere. the food is prepared in front of you, there are arranged even mini games. I recommend visiting.

Absolutely fantastic! We were well looked after and the food was amazing. We visited on a quiet evening so there wasn't much atmosphere but it didn't take away from our experience. We will definitely visit again and recommend to all our friends.

An amazing experience, the hosts and waiters could not make you feel more welcome and relaxed and they were absolutely lovely. Very sweet and down to earth. The cocktails and drinks were amazing, the japanese themed drinks were some of the best I've ever had and very more-ish. The sake bomb definitely a nice little gimmick and a bit of fun so definitely try it. And we havent even got to the food! The starters just on their own was worth a 5*, very fresh, tasty, filling, and generous portions, they're great to get a selection of if you don't want a set menu. They can accomodate for anything you want. The actual show and main course was so worth it. We went and it was only us and another couple on a quiet Wednesday but that didn't change anything about the service, show, or food. All was cooked to perfection and there were fun interactive parts to it. This is excellent for a couple, family, work do etc. Definitely better the more people who are there and one of the highlights of our Leeds trip. We splashed out and would do it again. Thank you for such a lovely night.

Loved the ambiance and performance of chef❤️ the food was delicious, enjoying every bit of it. It was so fun.

A quiet environment with good services.

Amazing place! Went for a late lunch. Food was amazing. Staff wonderful. Would highly recommend and will return. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Brilliant experience and food cooked fresh right in front of you. Service is excellent and the whole dining experience is fun. Only issue would be that the staircase to get to the restaurant is narrow and a little steep for anyone with mobility problems.

Impresionante. Cocina en directo, con mesas al lado de los fogones. Ingredientes buenos, de calidad y frescos. Todo una maravilla. El precio ronda los 25€/persona, un poquitín caro

Fantastic restaurant. Great food and service. Great chef. A fun place to visit. Really good experience.

This is the 3rd time i have been here. A couple of time with a group but this time with my husband just the 2 of us. Thought it may been a little akward situing with strangers but it wasnt and the atmosphere was still great. Food and service on point as always. My only disappointment mainly because it was the first time my husband had been was that our chef didn't do as much activity and i interaction as the other chefs that night or previously that i had experienced. All in all great though and still highly recommend and will be back again some time.

Great food, good chef. Loved it

Oh my word! This restaurant must be tried!! The welcome is warm and friendly, the atmosphere relaxed along with family friendly fun. The food, which delivers incredible flavours, is freshly cooked right in front of you. Don't be put off by the prices - it's worth every penny!!!

We had an amazing night at Teppanyaki Leeds. Prior to visiting I was expecting some cheesy cooking entertainment serving mediocre food. However, I couldn't have been further wrong! Our chef was amazingly skilled and produced absolutely top-notch food. The quality was amazing. All the staff were exceptionally pleasant and attentive to our requirements. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Excellent value for money.

Absolutely brilliant experience, we had a team night out, it was engaging and great value for money. Would highly recommend. Great service!

Great place for a meal! Lovely experience and delicious food. Perfect for a special occasion. Cocktails are wonderful too. I really enjoyed my meal here!

Teppanyaki was amazing, me and the Mrs loved it. Food was brilliant (Halal), entertainment was brilliant and the staff were super lovely and brilliant. If you're looking for a fun time while you dine, Teppanyaki is the place to be. 😊

Great foods lovely staff will definitely return

It was an ok experience, way over priced for what we had, the lobster tail was gritty which shows me it wasn’t prepared correctly. I really wanted to love it but was sadly disappointed

Wracking my brains for somewhere to take my partner for a birthday meal. I remembered visiting Tapenyaki Manchester as a child with my parents and being wowed by the displays of dragons breath dancing across sizzling prawns and steaks hissing their way across a scalding hotplate. To my suprise we didn't have to go that far! Tapenyaki Leeds is hidden away next to the Victoria quarter area. Descending a flight of stairs we walked into a well maintained but possibly a little dated subterranean room. Despite the very low occupancy we were asked to take a seat in the bar area. Drinks were served, some of the signature cocktails are truly delicious and quite beautiful. Eventually we took a seat around the grill with a group of strangers. Nine of us in total ordered our selection from various set menus and with that, the show began. Our chef played the part of the grumpy Japanese chef to a tea. His act given lie by the expertise in which he sent eggs flying and raised an inferno from a pile of diced onion. Truly, this is dinner theatre at it's best. In an age when tiktok can compress a recipe into a thirty second clip. Talent is only made scarce by the praise it deserves. But these are truly the practiced hands of a master. The food was beautiful. Those nine strangers became friends and the chef gave a modest bow. A fantastic evening. Which surprised me greatly. The food was very high quality. The price, maybe a little high. But then you're paying for the experience. Which has transitioned from modern in the 1990s to retro and sleek in the 2020s. You should visit this place for a lively time. Go with friends. Be sure to book and enjoy the experience for yourselves. We will most assuredly be back. Thank you very much for making my partners night very special Tapenyaki Leeds.

Fabulous place, very child friendly and the staff were engaging and helpful. Food was delicious

Went midweek so was a little quiet. Staff were brilliant, service was great and our chef and food were fantastic. Its not cheap but we'll worth it in my opinion. Will certainly visit again soon.
