The art of Teppanyaki cuisine is one that has been both exported and dramatized all over the world. The Teppanyaki cooks are the ones that are known to put on a show, with food flying all over the restaurant, hopefully landing in your bowl and not your lap. However, before you get out a bib, you won’t see flying food at Teppan Restaurant in the Kad Suan Kaew shopping centre, but what you will see are some rather pleased expressions on the diners.
Teppan is on the second floor (come up the escalators and do a U-Turn) and is situated between Swenson’s Ice Cream and Black Canyon coffee. It is not a large establishment, with the Teppanyaki cook tops plainly visible and a small preparation kitchen in behind. The cooks are all in white and green and the friendly reception girls dressed in silk shirts and silk pants, to impart a Japanese ‘feel’ to the outlet.
The Dining Out team of three went one mid-week lunchtime, and we had to wait a few moments before we could get seats. With only sixteen stools around the marble bench surrounding the stainless steel cook tops, the place was packed to capacity. That in itself, was a good omen. It was also notable that there were around three different nationalities dining there, and the ages would have ranged from 8 to 80!

Special
There is a small photo menu that everyone is shown and it is duplicated on an illuminated signboard at the rear, above the cooks. I heartily applaud any restaurant that provides a pictorial menu. Especially if they are relating to an international market, and with Chiang Mai being promoted as the ‘hub of the universe’ this is important. The small menu also has drinks ranging from several green teas, Pepsi, Heineken at B. 50 and even a Sake for the same price.
The food comes in ‘sets’ which range in price between B. 89 and B. 119. The set consists of a soup, a salad and a main dish plus rice, and the differences in price relate to the type of meat or fish in the main item. Chicken and pork are the cheapest at B. 89, saba is B. 99, beef B. 109 and salmon B. 119.
