Hayashi Teppanyaki Restaurant, Castle Hill

HAI! Thanks ya’ll for de lurking! T’was awesome reading all your lovely comments and I hope to continue to entertain you all for many more years to come! Hope you had a fab weekend, spare a thought to the peeps who are affected by the Queensland floods by donating to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal here.

It was Noods’ mum’s, grandmother’s and grandfather’s b’day so we rocked up to Hayashi Teppanyaki Restaurant (Mont Ro Gardens 23 Terminus Street, Castle Hill) for the ‘Matsu’ Banquet Teppanyaki ($37) and spotted the crew from YaYa’s Yum Yums hihi!


We started off with an entree of a yakitori glazed chicken skewer, a bite sized square of deep fried fish and a bowl of miso soup. And yes I’ve just started learning to appreciate beer teehee


Prawnies! Since the boy is now certifiably allergic to prawns I’ve had a noticeably lack of prawns in my diet and so these 2 prawns were barely enough to sate my prawn deprived soul.


Grilled calamari are delicate scrolls so ethereally tender. Like a cloud. Of squid.


Unfortch I was seated to the side of the teppanyaki grill so only had a side view of the action but woohoo grill full o meats!


Thick slices of chicken were coated in a tasty teriyaki sauce. Up until now there was no food thrown at me…


But of course that was about to change when the chef brought out some eggs… there were some unfortunate breakages but lol it was all in good fun


The eggs that were caught safely were cracked into a bowl and whisked and then spread onto the grill to cook for the fried rice


And of course once the fried rice was done you could only get your food if you had a go at catching the flying bowl hehe gooooo Moya!


Noods is the world’s unluckiest teppanyaki catcher and always manages to drop everything haha



WOOHOO FIRE!!!


Our last course were nubbins of steak and was love at first bite. Seriously it was just so damn juicy and delicious! And of course the fire show might have made it just that much tastier :P


Crispy prawn shells and heads were also offered to us but as I have issues with prawn eyes I stuck to nibbling on the legs mmm crunchy


A super cute white dog cake from Breadtop is the perfect way to end our meal, the cake surprisingly soft under the layer of icing


Happy birthday kids!

  1. Looks fabulous! I’ve never actually been to a proper teppanyaki restaurant (and never had food thrown at me during dinner) but it sounds like good fun!

  2. I miss my good old days, where I used to have teppanyaki for lunch with my family. However, those experiences were definitely not as exciting as yours, Suze! No flying bowls for sure! :D

  20. I wish all clouds were made of squid. Except the rain would probably then be ink, which would be bad for my hair.

  31. Fire indeed! I’ve never been to a teppanyaki that throws things at you, but I imagine I’d have Noods’ luck

    — Tina@foodboozeshoes    Jan 18, 07:09 PM    #

  32. Aww how cute! Hehe I also notice some dude standing outside the restaurant waving =D Aww poor Noods, I remember the first time we went Teppan, everyone had an actual bowl filled with rice thrown at them to be caught with another bowl, my cousin got rice thrown at him without the bowl and it went all over his nice white shirt – ouch haha.

    — angie    Jan 18, 10:33 PM    #

  33. haha! I love that white dog cake! Too Cute!! :)

  34. I never knew this teppanyaki place was in Castle Hill, I have to go and try it out. That cake is so cute. It looks like my dog Gizmo.

    — Katherine    Jan 21, 08:41 AM    #

  35. Luuurve the fire shot!
    Experience has taught me: when going to teppanyaki, don’t wear a low cut top – the chef will always aim to get the food down your chest & not your bowl… Fried rice on boobs = hurty :|
