| - One of my favourite things on Yelp is collecting the different badges. I wish, however, I could give a badge to this place. Teppan Bento definitely deserves the "Hidden Gem" badge, because this place is fantastic.
I love supporting mom and pop shops too, but it's even better when you get to patronize them because they're great and not just because you're tired of the big guy. Teppan Bento is run by a son and his aunt, uncle, and mother. Total small time establishment.
I ordered the Chicken and Salmon bento, and my girlfriend ordered the steak and shrimp bento with chicken fried rice. We also got a gyoza appetizer. It was a lot more food than I had anticipated. We both split all the food and tried everything. I'd break down the food as following:
-steak 5/5
-chicken 4/5
-shrimp 5/5
-salmon 5/5
-gyoza 3/5
-chicken fried rice 5/5
-vegetable side 5/5
All the food was delicious, but especially the steak. It was cooked perfect. Also, their copious amounts of dipping sauces were amazing. My favourites were the mustard sauce and yum yum sauce.
If you're in town and looking for some good teppanyaki-esque food, or just a good bento lunch/dinner, you HAVE to give this place a try. You would definitely be missing out if you didn't come here.
Would I come back here myself??? You bet your chopsticks I will.
Would I recommend this place to others??? In a heartbeat.
