Teppan Edo is located in the Japan Pavilion of the Epcot World Showcase. It is a highly recommended Japanese restaurant offering guests authentic Teppan-yaki style cuisine celebrated through the culinary talents of Teppan Chefs, who put on a fantastic show as they cook tasty traditional dishes right in front of you at the grills on your table.
The eating area is comprised of many small dining rooms which have communal tables, so unless your party has 8 people in it, you will share your table with other diners. Once sat your server will take the food and drinks orders and will attend to you throughout the meal. The rooms can get quite noisy as the lively show takes place.
Skillful chefs cook fresh shellfish, meats and vegetables at your table, all served with Udon noodles and steamed rice, or dine on sushi, croquettes and other authentic dishes. Each person receives a selection of dipping sauces which include, ginger, mustard and japanese ranch.
The Chef begins by chopping, mushrooms and courgettes, they then skilfully makes an 'Onion Volcano' and adds udon noodles to the grill, when cooked they share this out between the group. They then proceed to cook individual orders of either chicken, swordfish, shrimps, vegetables or filet mignon to each persons taste, which then completes the dish.
Accompany your meal with a Kirin beer, a glass of wine or a choice of cold beverages. For a more traditional taste, try Sake, a Japanese rice-based alcoholic beverage.
For dessert, indulge in a treat with an Asian twist like the chocolate ginger cake or the green tea cheesecake garnished with raspberry sauce. It's the perfect ending to any meal.
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 12:29 PM.
Upon entering the restaurant we were given a pager and were asked to wait in the seating area which was really busy. We had a reservation but still waited for about 20 minutes.
We were eventually shown to our table in a little room. The server didn?t stop smiling and she bowed at the end of almost every sentence! They were all so happy and friendly! The tables seat 9 and as we were a party of 6, another family joined our table.
Our server bought out some drinks, took our food order and came back and tied our chop sticks together which was most welcome since we can't use them!
Then our chef came out who was the most enthusiastic, smiley person I?ve ever met! He was literally beaming! He set about preparing our food, giving us little dishes of a variety of sauces to go with the different meats and shrimp we had ordered. I ordered the Ebi, my Dad had the Kajiki Maguro, my Mum had the Ueno, my Sister had the Tori and DS ordered a child Tori.
The meal was really nice but there wasn?t much of it to be honest and for what we got I thought it was really over-priced. For the 5 meals, 2 cokes, 3 orange juices and an ice cream it came to $170 with tax and tip. It was a great experience though and I do recommend it. I just don?t think we would go again if there was a large group of us because of the 18% gratuity which adds to the cost!
Our dining companions weren't too friendly which was a shame, but didn't spoil the meal. We both opted for the chicken/steak combo and it was cooked to perfection, the rice and vegetables were really good and the sauces were very flavourful.
We both opted for the ginger cake which was light and moist.
The chef was great fun and we can't wait to go back!
The Teppan grills sit up to 8 people, so unless you are a party of 8, be prepared to share your meal with others. On the two meals I have had, we have had nice eating companions.
Here are some of my pictures:
I consider this to be a fun meal - the chefs are very proficient and I love the smoking onion.
Definitely worth a visit.
