Notice posted on Facebook by the owner:\n\n\n\n Dear Valued Customers.\n\nToday, I would like to take a moment to inform you something important.\n\nWe regret to inform you that Teppan Kenta has been closed for good effective February 12, 2016. It has been two years and half since we have opened this business. We would like to sincerely thank you for your support to date.\n\nNow that I look back, there have been so many great memories with you all and I cannot thank you enough. I have started this business from scratch, not knowing much about how things work. Fortunately, I have had tremendous support from everyone. I truly think that I wouldn't be able to be where I'm at now without your support and love for Teppan Kenta.\n\nTo show our appreciation, we have decided to have a private party at Teppan Kenta on Saturday and Sunday (Feb 20 & 21). The party will start at 7pm on both days.\n\nPlease note that good food will be served and there is no cost. However we would like to ask you to please bring your own drinks.\n\nIf you could be generous enough to leave some tips for our hard working staff, it would be much appreciated.\n\nPlease accept my apologies for not being able to thank all of you in person before I left Toronto. I am very blessed to have you all in my life.\n\nThank you,\n\nSincerely,\n\nKenta Taniguchi @ Teppan Kenta"^^ . "10"^^ . "3"^^ .
