fantastic place！quiet and peaceful❤️ it is windy and cloudy this afternoon and we didn’t drive today. Finally found this restaurant in the left side of the road and the restaurant just start dinner time. It is warm inside and playing elegance piano music which is from popular Japanese movies.
I ordered the Sakura teppanyaki which came with Teppan vegetables, miso, fried rice, prawns, teriyaki chicken and eye-fillet and cost $48. We had three children in our party a ND they all found something they liked on the menu. The vegetarian was happy with their meal but she was too far away for me to see what she was served. The meat-eaters and the pescetarian were already making plans for a return visit.
Booked in to see the teppanyaki but they overbooked and could not seat us even though we asked for teppanyaki a week beforehand. Sat at a normal table and had one of the set menus (it was cheaper). I was worried it wouldn't be very filling but it was, although quite pricey. I loved the decor and the service. Very beautiful.
Lovely fresh sashimi, the tempora bluff oysters were to die for and the main course beef cooked to perfection. Very friendly attentive staff. Great restaurant, will visit again.
Don't believe the reviews! This place is great!
We had Teppanyaki, arrived just before 8 and were served promptly. Drinks were ordered, entrees ordered, and our teppanyaki menu selection all done exactly when we were ready.
- WAIT STAFF were lovely! Attentive and friendly. Our Teppanyaki chef was very cool, she really warmed up when we started talking to her.
- The DECOR is stunning! Beautiful place.
- PRICING is what you'd expect for such succulent tender flavoursome meats good fresh in front of you. The starting vege were delicious, the Tofu entree was outstanding. We were both very full afterwards.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Will be visiting again soon!
Would be a great place to go with a group of friends for a really nice time.
As a lover o japanese food, I had an unplanned stop over here. I found this online and thought why not give it ago, glad I did. What a find indeed. Koreans doing japanese and doing it well, sushi and sashimi was awesome and fresh, japanese trained chefs and a great vibe. So glad I came, I will return if in town
I went to AceWasabi, on Monday night with a group of friends and we all got the special set menu. It was a great experience for me and all my friends. The food was top quality I especially loved the synergy between the prawn and their wasabi sauce. The chef was very friendly, interactive and very professional at handling the food. The waiting staff were all also very responsive and friendly. I feel that price was very reasonable considering the quality and the quantity of the food. I would love to go again to Ace Wasabi.
Went here for my partners birthday and sat at the tepan bar. Our chef was great, fun, interactive. So much better than the likes of @tonys or something. Only thing is they are slightly higher priced.
We hadn't been to Ace Wasabi before, but felt like Sashimi. Even though the reviews were mixed we thought we'd give it a go. Pulled up in the car, to valet parking, I suppose it is Merivale. Seated straight away & the service was very friendly & quick. Nice & warm too. Dinner was fantastic, the best Japanese we've ever had. They were really busy, and unfortunately dropped the ball when we were ready to order dessert. So we left without trying the banana crepe. We will definitely be going back, but we'll flag down a waiter next time for dessert.
Our whole family went there today good Friday and found it a lovely atmosphere and the service and meal was great. Unfortunately they did not understand the liquor rules for good Friday and did not serve alcohol but a light drink soon quenched our thirst. We went with friends as well and all the group of 11 said they would return and really enjoyed our afternoon together there. The staff were very warm and we wish them well for the future.
Good food for mains, little bit of a drop in quality when it came to the desert and the whole restaurant got a wee bit chilly by the end of the night.
Excellent! Great food, very nice atmosphere! Our favourite place to have dinner! Teppanyaki bar is fantastic and a must to try!!! Great pleasure to watch an experienced chef cooking in front of you. Our fav set is Wasabi Special and includes prawns, salmon, chicken and beef. Great entertainment and incredible flavours are guaranteed! Highly recommended!!!
On Wednesday May 29th, I went with two friends to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. For start the place is impressive, very tastefully decorated. The service was excellent and the food exquisitely presented. I'm not a Ta pen Yaki connoisseur but I've had eaten it in the past, this was by far superior.
If you want somewhere special to celebrate in style, THIS IS THE PLACE.
Excellent Teppanyaki. Value for money. Highly recommended. Had a seafood set and the teppan banana for dessert. Both are delicious. The chef has an excellent grasp of flame control. Would love to go back again.
Great food and lovely Teppenyaki experience but beware that they book the Teppenyaki table solidly, as soon as our food was done cooking we were asked to move to another table to have dessert. However staff were friendly and helpful
Always a wonderful meal and great experience! Justin and his team do a wonderful job of making sure you are happy and the food is always fabulous.
Beef was out of this world. Service excellent. Watch food prepared is always fun. Will take kids here next time. Fantastic
Great service & beautiful food. Amazingly cute place tucked away. Would definitely go again.
A nice fine dining place. The presentation is superb while the food is alright. The portion is really small as well
LOVED it. Will certainly be back. Our 8yr old grandson loved it and wants his next birthday there.
