Showchef Teppanyaki - Darlinghurst

Great food, the chef did his best to give us a good experience, the place was clean and the food was fresh and very tasty. recommended

Was a bit apprehensive from the reviews.  Took the family of 6 there using a living social voucher. Cost was around $100 and worth every cent.  Mr 9 had the 'best birthday ever '.   The chef was young and obviously not as experienced as some Japanese Teppan chefs but he still made it fun for all He was happy to chat with us, take photos and throw food and bowls around..  Even the 2 yo was glued to his seat. And that 's a miracle.  The kids even tried prawn heads, gotta be having fun to do that.   Ultimately would I recommend this place to families most certainly.  Normally I walk out of restaurants with my kids a nervous wreck, I walked out of ShowChef with a smile on my face and a hoard of 4 really happy kids..

We came here on a voucher. We came with a group of 10 and the chef/owner (big boss) This is the best service and show we have ever received from a teppanyaki restaurant. I would highly recommend coming, so much fun <br/ <br/ Matt

It was our first time having teppanyaki, so we didn 't have any previous experience to compare it with. We were probably lucky to be the first diners there, so there was no hassling by the waitstaff to clear the table for other patrons (as others here may have experienced .The Lilliputian-sized portions were just a little too salty for my liking, but the chef was friendly, and tossed eggs and fried rice to us. It was quite rushed as well; I didn 't know about the 30min thing, may have missed it in the groupon t&c. At the end of our dinner, the chef sprinkled salt on the [cooking area] and wrote out 'Thank you ', which was nice of him. (Another lady diner panicked when she saw the salt poured out, which she thought was to be used to cook her food haha Overall, I felt a little let down by the quick and small meal, especially the small lobster tail, which I had looked forward to. We left the place with our stomachs just nicely filled. I wouldn 't say I 'd go back, as the location is quite inconvenient. But it wasn 't too bad : .

The fresh sushi here is really good and the service is fast and reliable. The miso is fantastic and it's always an enjoyable hands on experience. The prices are pretty fair, but can be a little expensive sometimes. The service is good and friendly. Would recommend it.
