About Ichioku Japanese Teppanyaki Restaurant

This King Street teppanyaki counter turns dinner into a full-contact sport where catching airborne eggs in a bowl is part of the entry fee. Regulars head here for high-energy celebrations fueled by sizzling hot plates, rapid-fire spatulas, and a relaxed BYO policy. Set menus move quickly through garlic butter fish, seared steaks, and heaping mounds of fried rice right off the teppan. Leave the Sunday best at home—between sudden bursts of flame and flying morsels, you are part of the spectacle until the final scrape of the grill.

  • Interactive grill performance: Chefs turn meal service into an interactive show where diners catch thrown bowls, eggs, and fried rice right off the grill.
  • BYO-friendly dining: Guests are welcome to bring their own wine and beer to accompany the multi-course teppan set menus.
  • Set menus for groups: Set packages cater to groups and families with versatile options spanning tender steak, seafood, and dedicated vegetarian sets.
