Failing To Understand Tipping Culture

In most places in Japan, tipping is considered an insult. This means that if you eat in that country, you should follow suit.

Having said that, if you are in a teppanyaki restaurant, in a place in the world, tipping is customary, then of course you should tip.

You should start with the standard 20% and add more if they are particularly entertaining and/or the food is particularly delicious.

In addition, you should consider tipping more, because chefs usually share tips with waiters.

 

Forgetting To Time Your Orders

When you eat at a teppanyaki restaurant, you should order with everyone sitting with you.

This includes people in your group and other people sitting at the same time.

This is because the chef will cook all the food at the same time to ensure quality.

If multiple people decide to order at any time, this will not happen.

 

Making Reservations

You should always book in advance to ensure you have a place at the teppanyaki table.

Many of these restaurants are busy on certain nights and there is no guarantee that they will provide you with a place.

If possible, plan ahead, especially if you are going to eat with a large group of people.

 

Expecting A Quick Bite

Teppanyaki meals is an experience that includes several courses. In addition, your chef will try their best to tease you with a knife.

These meals usually take about two hours from start to finish.

If you are in a hurry and need to go elsewhere, then you'd better choose a different type of restaurant for dinner.

This is a leisurely experience and should not be rushed.

 

Being Closeminded

Although teppanyaki is generally considered a Western food influenced by Japan, sometimes the food served may be different from what you are used to.

For example, you might get some kind of vegetable pie or seafood platter.

Try to be open to new things, try everything that can be given to you, rather than sneer at it when others give it to you.

The chef may be insulted for this, which may spoil the tone of the meal.

 

Eat Too Much

If you feel you have eaten enough food, you can stop.

Because there are too many courses, some people are full by the time they finish all courses.

If you know that your appetite is getting smaller, all you can do is eat less of what is prepared for you.

This will give you the opportunity to taste everything without feeling full.

 

Now that you know what to expect from this kind of restaurant, it should be easy for you to avoid making mistakes that might ruin your experience.

Hope you have a good time, enjoy your dinner, and avoid offending anyone.
