Tepanyaki Japanese Steak House,LLC

An Absolute Gem!
Don’t let the exterior or the entryway fool you—once you’re inside and sat down, you’re in for an incredible meal. We had a fantastic time at Tepanyaki Japanese Steak House!
Chef Lam was the star of the show; his entertainment while prepping and cooking was top-notch and kept us smiling and laughing the whole time. As for the food, every single bite was flavored and cooked to perfection. The fried rice, vegetables, shrimp, scallops, chicken, and filet mignon were all outstanding.
If you’re looking for high-quality food at a reasonable price and that classic, high-energy hibachi experience, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Easy Five Star! My family and I recently visited this lovely restaurant to celebrate our son & daughter-in-law's wedding anniversary. We've all been before and again, never disappointed. From the quaint atmosphere, the kindness of the staff & the excellent food, all amazing. Bingh, our "chef" entertained us with skill including acrobatic eggs, an onion "volcano" and fashioning a large heart for the occasion as he prepared our fried rice. We highly recommend this restaurant! So delicious, I had the filet mignon with scallops, my husband, the filet mignon with shrimp. Wish we would've included a photo! Next time!!

It's hard...when I walked in, it stunk like I walked into a urinal.
There is a koi pond, what a living nightmare for those poor fish. The water was murky, there looked to be about 30-40 fish in such a small space ...that alone needs to be looked at
The food was good, the service was good. But considering the smell and state of their living decor, I think they should be condemned and I honestly don't trust the food

Staff is outstanding. Been coming here since they opened in the early 90s. Best hibachi in Boise.

This place has never been in tiptop shape, super clean, or had great service - but it always had excellent, fresh food - kind of like a hole in the wall gem. I’ve been going to this restaurant for nearly 30 years, but no more. during our visit, chef dumped a bowl of boiled chopped up chicken and shrimp on the grill instead of the fresh hibachi cook in front of us version we’re used to. Quality difference was very noticeable. Portions seemed smaller as well. For price point v quality, truly sad to say we won’t return.

Service was awful! The restaurant was in terrible condition. The ceiling is literally falling in places, the carpeted floor is disgusting and sticky and the walls are nasty. When we walked in, no one would speak to us. It was if they didn't want our business. The food was good. But the show from the cook was just okay. I got to upset because he was taking food off our plates and throwing it at us. He missed every time. The food is good, not cheap and he was taking it off our plates without permission and wasting it by throwing it at us. Also, I got the filet mignon and she SHARED it with other people at the table. I paid for it and he kept giving my dinner out. It was annoyinging. The portion sizes are super small...I got five shrimp and two tiny egg rolls that are smaller than Costcos. This place isn't going to last much longer. It's terrible 😔.

This was our first time here at this location, as I've been to 1 similar in Vegas.

We came here on a Friday evening (Halloween) around 4ish pm. It was empty, they had us wait about 20-30mns before the chef came over.

The chef was great, he was funny, entertaining. The only thing I didnt like was the fact that he was trying to throw food at us to catch with our mouth.

Other than that, this place is off the freeway, next to a hotel and there is plenty of parking. The waitress was nice, but took forever to come check up on us to see if we needed anything.

Was not impressed with the bathroom situation, as a toilet was overflowing with water. We will not be coming back to this place, and stick to going when we go to Vegas.

We were excited to give this place a try. When we pulled up, the building, and area looked really sketchy. We walked in, the inside was definitely outdated. Once we got past that, everything else was great. Binh was our cook. He was great. The food was awesome. My suggestion would be to not judge from the outside. Thank you Tepanyaki!!!!!

The cook kept taking food out and putting it on a plate he took back to the kitchen. A few shrimp, some pork fried rice, veggies… He ended up with a good size plate. It was kind of odd. He never talked to us either.

This place is absolutely filthy and sketchy! The portions are small and expensive, and the wait staff is interesting not in a good way. We will not be back.
