KooKoo Teppanyaki and Lounge Bar

What an experience! All of the staff were extremely welcoming and had a great sense of humour! Max was our chef, not only was he extremely talented on that grill but he made us all feel at ease and involved in his cooking show! Highly recommend coming here, very good value for money! Thank you KooKoo Teppanyaki!

Great valentine’s day date out! Our chef was super charismatic and was very funny, food was delicious and flavourful, the vegetarian option is very filling and a lot of food for the price!! Would 100% go again and recommend to anyone

Kookoo Teppanyaki in Surfers Paradise provide excellent food served in a most entertaining manner by the highly talented chefs and staff. A brilliant night out and so much food I was full to absolute capacity. A real experience that I wouldn't hesitate to repeat. Especially great for a group. I highly recommend this.Food: 5/5

We had no booking, but were asked politely to come back after 30mins and we’re provided with seats. Had a great time. The food was amazing and the vibes were mesmerising. Had the best chef that night with friendly people around the table.

Absolutely amazing experience. We went as a family 2 adults and 2 kids. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were given some of the best hospitality service we have ever experienced. Our chef was fantastic with the kids and was funny and a delight. The food was out of this world. Amazing flavours and cooked to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for him even after asking the kids to pick a cartoon character to draw and them choosing Vegeta from DBZ, he took on the challenge and nailed it. We will be back on our next holiday.

Ken really made my birthday dinner so enjoyable! My partner and i have never been to teppanyaki ever so we didn't know what to expect...completely blew us away it was like watching a dinner and show! Ken had great banter and is extremely talented at what he does! Would definitely recommend!

We booked last minute which was good as we love coming here. Wide selection of food. The chef was very friendly and was able to cook the vegetarian dishes first before contaminating the hot plate with the meat proteins. The drinks are cheap and they have a wide selection wines as well. We ordered a few cocktails and mocktails. Food and service was excellent. We loved the tricks and highly recommend the seafood meal. The chef has great jokes and throws egg at you that you try and catch. We loved doing this. At the end he wrote upside down and drew a cartoon character that we chose. Amazing service and food!

Teppanyaki is always fun and KooKoo delivered for our family with great meat produce the lamb was excellent and a funny and engaging Chef. Once you get past the oily floor and the faint odour of socks from the carpet, it’s loud, the smells are amazing, it’s hot, there are laughs and there is a fair amount of audience participation if you’re up for catching your own food! The meal combinations offer meat and seafood options, rice or noodles and a range of side plates. This meant we could tailor a menu for our kids who would not eat everything on the children’s set menu. That gave good flexibility to the meal for us. Maybe avoid the teppanyaki hot plate to the left of the entrance, the front window does not open and it got very very warm for us.

Fantastic experience & perfectly cooked beef teppanyaki!! I must say I was so surprised to see real teppanyaki table showmanship here in Australia! The chef was enthusiastic, had next-level tricks & brilliant cooking! Don’t be deceived by the stars on my review! I really enjoyed myself in this restaurant. The part which I didn’t like was the ambiance, the dated seats & tables and slightly unappealing interior. I paid close to $300 for 3 people, therefore I expect better surroundings. I would have to say the restaurant needs a renovation or some upgrades. I will probably not return to this restaurant again. But overall I really loved the food, we had a great time, and the service was up to standard! If you just got into Gold Coast and you’re looking for a sensational meal plus some table entertainment and you’re not really critical about the interior of the restaurant, this restaurant might be a great spot for you! Great location as well! The Delight Set ended up being way to much for my Asian stomach! I gave almost half of my meal to my son.

The chef was absolutely hilarious and kept us entertained throughout the meal. He kept us entertained with his hilarious jokes and stories throughout the meal. He even told us it was his first day on the job, but we quickly realized it was just a prank because he was a total pro! He frequently checking in to make sure we were pleased with the food. The Asian waitress was also incredibly friendly and approachable, and took the time to explain everything to us since it was our first time there. Overall, the service was top-notch and really made our day.
