The Rocks Teppanyaki - The Rocks, NSW 19/07/10

The Rocks Teppanyaki drew me in on multiple levels. Firstly, it is in a very convenient location - right beside my hotel. Secondly, it earns me Qantas Frequent Flyer points. And thirdly I found $50 on the street tonight so I was prepared to kick in a little more towards my meal than my daily budget. And I LOVE Teppanyaki. I never thought I'd do Teppanyaki on my own - being such a social event normally - but it was really great food and a really friendly restaurant.

I could have ordered from the a la carte menu - but why go to all that trouble when they make a set menu for you?

On top of the superb food (and yes I walked away quite full) the service was great. The staff were friendly and attentive, no sooner had I finished a plate than it was whisked away and while the Teppanyaki chef's accent was hard to understand he was just so sweet you couldn't help but get a bit of a crush on him.

I'll be back Rocks Teppanyaki - just you wait!
