A tiny Sheffield teppanyaki counter seating just eight people, this is one to book well ahead — you're the only table, cooking happens on the grill in front of you, and children who like watching things sizzle and fly through the air will be transfixed. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the chef gets diners involved, tossing egg for people to catch. Portions are big enough that families regularly go home with leftovers, and the value is genuinely good for what arrives. The steak, lobster and seafood set meals get the loudest praise, and the fried rice has a following of its own. It's intimate rather than roomy, so a pram may be tricky and it suits older children better than a wriggly toddler — but the welcome is warm and unhurried. One family calls it "a spectacular culinary performance".
