4 stars for the overall experience! What a great chef we had and I loved the entertainment. I was however slightly disappointed in the food. It was nice and fresh but I found some of it was very salty and oily- and I love salt so that’s saying something. But I otherwise really enjoyed my time here.
Chef here are an absolute riot, keeping us in stitches with jokes and stories. He even pranked us, claiming it was his first day, but he was a total pro! Waitress are friendly and helpful, explaining everything since it was our first visit. Overall, a great experience, but I really have to say that the portion is pretty small haha.

Very rushed, and poor service.
We booked for 7:30pm, arrived a few minutes early and were directed to take a seat at a waiting area which is fine because we wanted to order drinks.
Staff brought menu’s over and told us we had to pick our meals. We asked if we could order drinks first and were told no, not until we are at the table we have to order food now. Most restaurants you can order a beer while you wait…
So we chose our mains, and then not too long after sitting and waiting we got to the table and were allowed to finally order drinks which they messed up.
Saki came out, but no beer. Then one beer. We assumed the other must of been coming, By this time (about 30 minutes in, most of the food was already served, I had to ask again for our beers which finally came over but still no water. Had to ask again for water.
By 8:15pm we were all finished our food and they were packing up, a whole 45 minutes since arriving for over $600 and we were ready to go as they were cleaning the grill and needed us to move on for next group. Would of loved to have enjoyed a bit longer dining experience, but I guess they make their money by pushing groups in and out and fast as they can.
The food -
My food was good (I ordered the gourmet menu set - no complaints from me!) but all who had lamb said the lamb was chewy, and those who ordered fried rice said it was massively overpowered with garlic. The chef was great and is the only reason this place got 3 stars otherwise I would rate it 1 star if just based on service.
You have to go here and ask for Bishy!!! The experience was made so much fun because of our host...kids LOVED IT!!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
The food is excellent and the entertainment from the chef cooking at the table was fantastic and lots of fun. xxx
Was Far from a Pleasant Dining Experience when I visited Koo Koo Teppanyaki in Surfers Paradise.
Located on Surfers Paradise Blvd next to “The Island” Or as Locals would know it “The Islander”
I arrived & my dining companion that made the Reservation, was running a few minutes late. First I was told I couldn’t sit at the designated table & So sat near the Bar.
As soon as I got a drink and had sat down. I was Then instructed to sit at the designated table !! ??
A Fuss was made about my dining companion Being Late !! (It was probably around 10 minutes in Total that She was late !!).
The Chef was a Pleasant enough guy & served up what Appeared to be Appetising Dishes. I Say “Appeared” because All I was doing Was Watching Everyone Else get served & eating !!
Everyone, Including my dining companion had Finished their Course, (Hers were Scallops) & the Hot Plate was being Scrapped Clean by the Chef. When I asked how my Squid was coming along ?? He said he Will Cook it Now because there was No room on the Hot Plate before !! ?? So, some people at the Table were being served their second course, Before I had my first !!
The staff seemed to be wanting to clear away the plates, while I was still eating.
Shortly after I finished and While We Were Talking to the Couple Seated Next to Us. We Were All asked to Move and sit Somewhere Else !! ??
The Whole Experience Seemed Regimented & Rushed & Certainly NOT Worth The Expensive Cost !!
There Are MUCH Better & Far More Relaxing Dining Alternatives in Surfers Paradise !!
BISHWAA!! Absolutely EGGcellent chef! Thankyou for making the night the most memorable and enjoyable for all of us, in particular for Ashton the 3.5 year old and my brother and sister in law who had never experienced teppanyaki before! The …
We booked last minute which was good as we love coming here. Wide selection of food. The chef was very friendly and was able to cook the vegetarian dishes first before contaminating the hot plate with the meat proteins. The drinks are …
