It was my first time at Teppanyaki and judging from the reviews, I decided to have it at Show Chef's. I am pleased to say that was not disappointed at all. It was a quiet sunday night and we were the only guests there. Chef Ben did the honours of cooking for us. He was timid in the beginning but as the night went on, he was very entertaining.
Did a few tricks with the salt and pepper and cracked a few light jokes. Then the exciting bit came; the food throwing. But a warning to all, prepared to get food all over you. I wasn't aware of this and one of my friend, a short tempered one, wasn't too pleased at all having fried rice all over him.
The food was delicious, as expected from a highly praised restaurant. We had the combination set-menu and do yourself a favour and swap the tenderloin steak to wagyu. You won't regret it. I believe the price is reasonably set as you will get fresh food cooked infront of you, light entertainment, and it's definitely an unique experience. I will definitely come again, but this time, will prepare all my guests of the "deadly" flying rice.
Note: we placed our orders before 6:30 and asked the waitress of the 15% but she had no clue about it. So make sure you print out the page if you want a discount.

We had a teppanyaki night on Saturday in this restaurant. It was for mum's birthday and first time that mum had teppanyaki. She enjoyed it very much. Food was very nice. Service was good. However, we were not able to order Asahi beer together with the food because restaurant is not fully licensed. What a shame.
Nice and homelike environment. Chef looked a bit too serious ( not sure if because of the language barrier or something else...) at the very beginning, melted later when performing flying rice and jumping eggs, it would be perfect if Chef could give out some introduction to the food when cooking.
Or maybe, if possible, history about teppanyaki, or maybe Japanese food culture. Price is reasonable. Suggest that restaurant upgrade the class because it has a lot of potentials. Overall, we had a great night. Including my 2.5-year-old. We will go back definitely.

This is the best and best value for money teppanyaki I've been to. Amazing. for just 25 bucks you get teppanyaki all-you-can-eat middle of the week. The service is great, chefs are very friendly and the food is yummilicious. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back.

Myself and 4 friends ate here last night, 18 June, because of the 'all you can eat' special found on eatability. When we arrived we were a little sceptical because it is a tiny restaurant (so make sure to book) and not much decor. We were sat with another group surrounding the hot plate and were served a basic salad and 3 bite size pieces for entree. Then the cooking began.....
The prawns were definitely NOT frozen as per EDI's comment. The skills the chef used to de-shell on the hot plate was amazing, the taste, sensational! Then came the calamari, soft, tender and delicious. The dishes kept coming and coming, everything was so good!!
At the end of all the dishes, the chef asked which ones we would like more of but we could not fit another bite in!
I would highly recommend this place for the quality, taste and value for money. It is only small.....2 hot plates which seat about 10 people on each, so make sure to book and it is BYO, so bring a couple of bottles of wine.
In regards to EDI's comment about her husband not being able to eat chilli.....she should have told the chef. One of the men at our hot plate table was highly allergic to seafood, so they specially cooked his food on a separate hot plate. Not hard, just speak up beforehand!
I highly recommend this place and will be bringing back more friends for some great food. DELICIOUS!

I am a teppanyaki lover, I 've been to many teppanyaki rest. around Sydney. Showchef teppanyaki is my first choice!! The food is amazing delicious, the chef is very entertaining and good service. I've dining in this restaurant since May 2007. and I alway chose set meals.
Last week, 3rd of Jun, 5 of us chosen All you can eat, 10 dishes after, we repeat 3 times fish and calamari and 4 times teri chicken. I had a big meal on that night, cause the food was delicious, we heard the eatability customer special offer from next table, we asked the chef Honda about that, we got the discount without the offer coupon. Great! I will bring friends come back again and again!!!

Went here 20th May and was so disappointed. Husband and I had the all you can eat special (which has gone up $2 to $26.80 not $24.80 as per special offer listed here) which was a lot of food but so uninspiring.
The entrees listed are sushi and tempura but you don't get both and you don't get to choose which one you want, it is up to the chef. However the night we were there we were presented with three sushi roll pieces (after being told it would be nigiri sushi and then had to request wasabi as none accompanied them) that were like most people could make at home and obviously required the least effort by the chef as 8 people including ourselves had arrived all at once.
You are limited to 2 prawns per person (which kind of contradicts the all you can eat aspect) which is the same as most teppanyaki set menus but the prawns are clearly frozen and come shelled so no prawn head chips for those that enjoy them. Calamari was flavourless except for the chilli paste added (my husband can't eat chilli and there was no mention of this being added on the menu so he just didn't eat it) and the fish was bland as could be. Highlights included teriyaki chicken and thinly sliced beef. The rice was nice but again they added a chilli paste to it that was overpowering and about as un-Japanese (more like Malay or Singaporean) as I have ever tasted.
At the end of the meal the chef asks you if you would like more of anything (except prawns) which is great for really big eaters but by the time we had got through all the courses and at least tasted them we had more than enough. We didn't try the tofu as neither of us likes it but we tried everything else (at least one mouthful anyway) to see what it was like. Nothing blew us away.
The final problem we had and this is only partially the restaurants fault is that there was this obnoxious guy who arrived half way through the meal and proceeded to talk on his mobile phone at the top of his voice as he was eating alone. The staff should have said something to him but I suppose they can't risk losing local regulars. Something we will never become after this visit. If you want good quality teppanyaki go to Chinatown or North Sydney not here.
Update: I stand by my review. In response to the management - (1) We had the printed out offer and gave it to waitress but was still charged the higher price. (2) Was told we were getting nigiri sushi by the waitress and then she apologised when only the maki rolls came out. (3) Putting a limit on one very popular item does not an all you can eat make. Also they were clearly frozen as when I asked the chef about making prawn head chips he looked at me blankly and said we don't get prawns with heads. (4) None of the customers complained (no one is game to these days it is up to the business) they just progressively left due to nothing being said to the noisy guy.

Response from Management:
(1) Special offer listed here $ 24.80, if you don't print this offer or let staffs know, $26.80 will be charged. (Please see how to get special offer)
(2) This meal entrees listed is Sushi or Tempura, (not and) so you won't get both some time, as fresh made sushi (maki) some time run out!! No nigiri sushi on this meal (ever), so wasabi wasn't accompanied.
(3) Prawns limited 2 pc, sorry that is only item limited, you still have 9 main course to choose again!! And the prawns are same as teppanyaki prawns. Please understand 10 courses to cook; we peeled head and tails in kitchen.
(4) Any thing if not as you expected or any problem, please let us know on the spot, we are happy to work out for you, such special price. Tempura maki or nigiri even food taste (chef cooked on hot plate, just tell him), if you were not happy with other customers making noisy, just tell staffs to advise them. We won't act if no other customer complains. As all of customers dining for entertain and relaxing.
Update response:
(1) When you gave printed offer price, if waitress charged normal price. Then I did apologise for that mistake. But doesn't mean special price gone up, you may show her when you got bill and ask her, if you did printed that offer.
(2)Nigiri sushi never serve on this meal, I apologise again , the waitress might be new to here.
(3)Prawn peel on kitchen and cut head and sandline so no prawn leg chip on grill. Prawns are fresh whole prawn! We guarantee.

Went here for dinner the other night and had the best time! Our chef (Ben) was hilarious and very entertaining!! We had the set menus, one mixed and one sea food, we were impressed with the amount of food we got. It just kept coming and coming. The staff is very attentive with drinks and refills, it’s BYO so we could bring our own wine I thought would complement the food.
The only negative thing was that we had to run to catch a show we were going to watch later on, so we missed the fried ice cream. But that was our fault for not giving ourselves enough time for the dinner.
Like many say, you shouldn't be in a hurry here, and that's a good thing! The amount of entertainment from the chef and the great quality of the food makes you really want to take your time so you can enjoy it!

Thanks N_J
If full table of customers order different food, it could be painfully slow.(chef one time only can cook one item), so if you are in a hurry, or you like served slowly , just let your chef know, then you can enjoy fried ice cream and catch that show on time.

Finally a top notch Japanese Tepanyaki around Sydney. For the quality of food they served up, I was surprised that it was so cheap. Like the previous review, I particularly enjoyed the squid. For a moment I thought the chef brought up the wrong order and brought me abalone.
The restaurant is quite spacious and the atmosphere seems quite lively mainly due to the fun and friendly staffs. If you are game, ask the chef if you can catch some eggs with your mouth. If you are extra adventurous, ask the Mrs to catch.
Overall, a wonderful experience. Will definitely return with friends.
