Hidden gems: Granville’s long-running restaurant Okori Teppanyaki
Tucked away off a side street in suburban Granville is a long-running teppanyaki restaurant. Find out what makes it so popular among locals.
Knives slicing, flames billowing, bowls flying; nothing quite beats the theatrics of teppanyaki.
Tucked down Kemp St, a tiny laneway in Granville, Okori Teppanyaki has been entertaining and feeding western Sydney diners for years.
The cozy dining space is decked out with warm fairy lights and traditional Japanese decor with seating arranged around large benches.
In the middle of the benches are the grills where the magic begins; the highly skilled teppanyaki chefs cook protein in sky-high flames and slice omelettes and vegetables with precision before sending them flying neatly into small white bowls.
It is dinner and a show and there are plenty of laughs to be had as everything from eggs to pork and rice come flying towards patrons eager to catch their dinner.
With easy parking, a family-friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff, and reasonable prices — banquets range from $26-$55 per person — it is not hard to see why Okori has become Granville’s hidden gem.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner on weekdays and dinner only on weekends.
