Showchef Teppanyaki Restaurant

The place is so dirty. They let us wait for 30 mins for the next cooking with no explanations. We had to wait our food during other people were eating. Also, the food was so bad. Especially, the cook doesn't know how to cook. How can they open the restaurant? He started to throw bowls and foods to the customers even we were drinking miso soup. What will they do if the bowls or food hit us? What is the entertainment? Show the entertainment by cooking. And onion was not cooked at all. I don't think the price there is not worth with the food at all. I went to many teppanyaki restaurants in my life, it was a first time I felt anger so much. We went to the restaurant by Groupon. I believe the picture they posted was fake. Looks totally different place. I don't want to make other people feel same. Hope you don't waste of your time and money.

Food was decent and the night was entertaining, as it was teppanyaki, but definitely not as great as it could be. If you're looking for a teppanyaki experience, other places would be better. The staff were at least nice and friendly however cleanliness was an issue for me. Table had a funny smell and floor felt sort of sticky, making me paranoid about whether the cooktop had been cleaned often. Overall, was an okay night out but was only just worth the price as we had a groupon voucher ($25pp).

Terrible! We tried the place by using a voucher deal. They really cheeped out on the food. The salad was iceberg lettuce topped with Italian dressing. The mixed vegetables were burnt onions, and the last dish was fried rice, similar to what you get formChinese takeaway. I would have not paid more than $5 for what we ate. The voucher was a complete rip-off. Not to mention, there was no show by the chef, he was very young and appeared to learning as he went, but that is not his fault. We walked out after our chicken was undercooked because we did not want food poisoning. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had since school lunch, I don’t really know why Urban Spoon has so many positive ratings.

We went after getting a living social deal - the food is definitely good for what we paid, but I was a tad disappointed in the restaurant. I've been to plenty of Teppanyaki places and they lack the same flare and showmanship at ShowChef that I had seen everywhere else. Seemed a little ironic considering their choice of name. Still, good food for what we paid.

Well after 4 phone calls, text message and 2 walk bys I was able to reserve this place for a birthday dinner. On the day of I got a text stating the cook was sick and they were closed. This was after I already pre purchased Groupon and confirmed with all my friends location and times. Thought I’d give this place a chance as I went years ago, but they failed and I should of listened to the reviews. 2 stars for poor management since I did not get a chance to try the food

Rubbish! If you're thinking about going here....don't do it! The calamari & prawns were cooked within an inch of their lives and were basically cremated...the fish & chicken were stewed and the fried rice was left on the hot plate so long that it was done to the point of crispness. I would also have to mention that it's preferable that the chef doesn't wander off, away from the hotplate while he has things cooking....leads to an overdone, cremated or stewed mess!
