Teppanyaki Brothers is a japanese themed diner having their foods prepared just about 2 feet away from the customers. Yup, that close! Just the breadth of their countertop separating the diners from that graceful tossing of vegetables, the skillfull slicing of meat, the generous explosion of spices, the sudden rising of cooking flames and the amazing encounter of kitchen turners and spatulas! Maybe I made it sound scary but all I'm saying is it was like the iron chef experience LIVE!Now for the rundown of the food, first on our table was their soup. I never had that strong liking with the Japanese miso soup but having to taste it yesterday was just nostalgic. It's like going through the whole experience of my visit to Japan 9 years ago. That strange leafy taste as if falling short from the rest of the flavors but in all sorts will connect to your appetite with a pleasing fashion. Nothing fancy but in essence, you know it is healthy - reflection of that simple yet practical aprroach of Japanese living. Their beef tenderloin matched with buttered veggies is good too. Not crazily good but enough for what you have paid for. Besides, I am always a fan of what I call the off-the-cook-book way of cooking so to see my food prepared right before my eyes with pepper, salt and all the seasoning poured all based on the guts of the cook, it's already a treat! But i will opt for less salt next time:)Overall, it was a great experience. It could be the closest Japanese food experience in Megamall having authenticity and budget into strict consideration. And oh, they have this interesting way of breaking their eggs so you might want to challenge their cook for some short exhibition:)

Finding this place was serendipity. Nestled in a niche at the food court, the place would have been easy to miss if it did not create a world of its own. And what a world! Even in the midst of the bustling, noisy SM food court they cook up an enticing atmosphere, with the long table around the cooking areas where the cooks and chef skillfully practice their trade.Said chefs and cooks are a treat to watch while you wait for your order. One of them, knowing he had an audience, even put on a show while making the fried rice.The food itself is excellent, and the spicy version of the beef does not follow the typical pinoy version of spicy, which is little more than just a sting. The real star of the show was the fried rice, however, so I highly recommend upgrading to fried rice instead of ordinary.Their prices are rather high compared to their neighbors at the food court, but with such quality and skills in the staff I'd say you're very much paying a bargain price.

Nothing really special about this japanese themed resto except for the way they serve your food. I don't really find the food that appetizing. The rice has an inexplicable taste, the vegetable is overcooked and the beef is tough. Hope they improve though. kudos to the chef who can do wonders with their spatula and egg.
