Quality food does not need to cost you an arm and a leg. Teppansan is a prime example of fine dining at fantastic prices. Whether you wish to go out for a romantic dinner or go to lunch with friends, Teppansan has a fine selection of cuisine that should cater to your needs.
Food: Meals at Teppansan are quite large and as a consequence, you can over order. Having said that, the food is so good you can be forgiven for ordering too much. Okonomiyaki and benodon boxes are a speciality.
Score: 8.5 / 10
Environment: Nice, simple surroundings are what help to make your eating expericence one you will remember for a while to come. A simple Japanese pre - revolution inspired mural and items such as fans adourn the walls. Additionally, posters advertising Japanese products and brands are placed to further give you the feeling as though you might be in a eatery in Japan.
Score: 8.0 / 10
Price: Considering the quality and presentation of the food, the pricing is insane. Everyday there are 2 lunch specials the first at $5.80 and the other at $10.00. Brilliant.
Score: 9.5 / 10
Overall: Teppansan is a bit of class, a lot of great food, brilliant environment and superb pricing all wrapped into one.

I’m still a little suprised by these whopping high scores, but at least they’re consistently high so I’m starting to get a feel for you as a judge — or perhaps it’s because you’re reviewing your favourite restaurants.
Anyhow my take on Teppansan is similar to yours. Great quality food at bargain prices. If I have one complaint about the place - and it is a minor point - is that the food is a little too oily for my tastes. Other than that, very nice. 3.5 stars.
