| - ahhh finally, someone brought over a popular restaurant style from Japan & Hong Kong to Toronto. This place is very good and the food they serve is very unique, I don't recall seeing a similar style in Toronto prior to Aka Teppan. The selling point of this place is the way they bring the food onto the table, the meat is not fully cooked yet, and the customer can play a little chef and grill the meat to perfection (usually another minute or two should be good) and mix it at your own will. So this style can be a double edged swords, some will like it, some will not.
There is nothing special about the envionment as it is very typical looking, so let's go straight to the food. They serve a variety of foods, but mainly either a form of topping on either rice or pasta. I tried both and I prefer the pasta option, reason being you can choose your own sauce and the "Hand Grilled Pepper" saurce is by far one of the best! Very strong buttery smell and flavour and I personally love that smell and taste! If you prefer the rice instead, I will recommend the Hamburger Steak, very tender and just by grilling it a bit more it's perfect!
I should also mention their desserts, very creative and although i know where that tiramisu in a pot idea came from, but props to them for bringing it over and doing a good job on it!
Although the price is at the high end, but I would still recommend people trying out this place, for the experience and the quality of the food they serve.
