Teppanyaki is a type of Japanese cuisine where the diners can sit and watch experienced chefs cook their food in impressive and dazzling ways before they eat. While the concept has existed for ages, the food has changed. Today, in the heart of Toronto, a low-key restaurant has expanded the traditional Teppanyaki menu to modern foods, such as chicken nuggets, corn dogs and potato chips.
“I want to make sure my diners are always entertained,” the manager says, “and make sure they always have something to look at, such as the back of the chef’s head as they put your hot pockets in the microwave.”
The staff say they take pride in their restaurant decor, particularly because diners spend most of their time staring at the wall for a lack of other points of interest. Though this restaurant is rated 5 stars, there is one drawback: They have a wall of drying paint, which is simply too exciting for some people to watch and potential visitors should beware of the potential overstimulation hazards.
