Quick info
About Teppanyaki Chinatown
On George St in Manchester, Teppanyaki Chinatown is a Japanese restaurant set behind an unassuming façade, with seating at shared teppanyaki grill tables that bring parties of five to eight together around the plate. Kimono-clad chefs prepare the Samurai and Imperial set menus tableside on hot steel grills, with sushi served as a starter alongside the cooked mains. Meals follow the set menu format of starters, mains, and dessert, and chicken egg fried rice is a regular item finished at the grill. Chefs will adjust dishes for dietary restrictions, including gluten free soy sauce on request. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken.

“Fantastic experience from start to finish! Excellent service from Julio Caesar the chef that made our food and the two server Marge and Alex, they were friendly, attentive and made the evening really enjoyable. The food was outstanding. The chicken egg fried rice was probably one of the best I’ve ever had: full of flavour, generous portions, fresh vegetables and cooked perfectly in front of us by the chef. The chicken was tender and delicious, and the sushi platter was beautifully assorted and great value for the quantity. A brilliant place for groups of 5/6 people where you can sit together at a table and enjoy the chef preparing your food in front of you. A unique and fun experience, we’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!”

“While visiting Manchester with no fixed evening plans. A quick Google search rendered this as one of the top restaurants in the city. An unassuming façade in Chinatown hides a little gem with several tables around teppanyaki grills. Absolutely truly authentic experience. We opted for the imperial menu which was an absolute winner with high quality food. The sushi starter was an amazing little treat and resulted in the decision to come back for more sushi. Definitely recommend Lovely and attentive staff.”

“I heard of Teppenyaki before and I always wanted to experience it. The staff were friendly and chef was nice and helpful. From starters and drinks to mains and dessert, everything was nice. I had a samurai set as I wanted to try a bit of everything. I highly recommend the place for teppenyaki experience with tasty food but if you are looking for specific food and not necessarily the experience provided, you may find more affordable options nearby.”

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return to the experience of a chef cooking at the table, and the chicken egg fried rice is singled out as full of flavour with generous portions. Close behind come the sushi starter and platter, which several call excellent, and set menus such as the Samurai and the imperial menu, one described as very filling for two. Reviewers describe friendly staff and chefs who chat and are accommodating of dietary needs. One family with a coeliac daughter says everyone ate gluten free at the same teppan, with breaded starters swapped for sushi. Groups and families say the setup suits them, and one notes it avoids heavy gimmicks like juggling eggs. The caveat is value: one reviewer feels they pay for the experience over the food, calling it a little bland and not plentiful, and finds the music disappointing, while another says more affordable options exist nearby for those who only want specific dishes. Many leave with takeaway boxes after a meal cooked in front of them.
