Teppanyaki Time - Blairsville

For a strip mall eatery, this place was surprisingly good and it wasn't just the food. My wife and I were greeted immediately upon entering and our hostess/waitress/manager was above and beyond with regard to friendliness and courtesy, the down home style, and that was refreshing in and of itself. The cafe itself is a little bit harum scarum, you can eat inside or on the sidewalk outside, but the bustle of the place was our first clue that it would probably be worth our time and money. We had the California Roll, the Hibachi Plate I chose shrimp as the protein; the wife had the Fried Rice Bowl. All three were truly outstanding and I mean... from the huge portions to the cook the chef put on the ingredients: Shrimp absolutely perfect and springy, and the California Roll was super fresh down to the avocado. I was a bit taken aback that a place so small could produce such fresh and tasty Japanese food and we will absolutely be back. The food was above average, no doubt, but it was the service and feel good vibe of the lady who took care of us that made it five stars.

Yellow tail appetizer at 5 tiny pieces Of fish.Soft shell crab, I couldn't find the crab with all the batter on it. I'm not sure if there was crab in it.

I wish they were consistent. We had miso soup yesterday that was murky water with cold tofu....sushi was not as good as last time. Consistency would be nice.

I have to say surprised me and I wanted some Sushi rolls so I ordered online and took the food home. As someone who used to be around sushi all the time the rice is half the flavor profile needed. My rule-Taste then presentation? The rice is almost perfect not like others around here. The fish was sweet and represented its intention of whatever the role was to be. Service was great friendly and timely. Nice! Next time, I will eat in and really enjoy it.Keep up the good work.

The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere felt really contemporary. I had some sushi, and it was absolutely amazing. I would definitely make the drive from Murphy just to come here again. As a bonus, we even received a coupon just for visiting!
