@Tony's Teppanyaki Ferrymead makes the hot plate part of the dining room rather than hiding the cooking behind a kitchen door. Four teppanyaki grills seat up to 30 people, giving diners a close view of the timing, knife work and showmanship that shape the meal. Guests who want a quieter format can choose the main dining area, while a separate room provides more privacy for a small celebration or business gathering. Lunch, dinner, takeaway and delivery are all part of the operation, so the Waterman Place restaurant works both as a performance-led night out and as a source of familiar Japanese dishes.
The cold and fried sections establish that this is more than a grill-only restaurant. Sushi and sashimi draw on seafood selected from the daily market, and the list moves from individual pieces and classic rolls to @Tony's Lava Roll and a spicy tempura sushi roll. Tempura gives vegetables and seafood a light, crisp coating, while bento boxes assemble several flavours and textures into a structured lunch. Teriyaki dishes and donburi offer equally direct combinations of rice, protein and sauce. These parts of the menu are especially useful for a group that wants the restaurant's Japanese cooking without every diner committing to a full teppanyaki set.
At the grill, the menu can be built around chicken, beef, seafood or vegetables, with the chef cooking each element in front of the table. Combination sets turn that choice into a progression and let several ingredients share the plate without losing their individual character. Elsewhere, eel and Japanese curry bring deeper, sweeter savoury notes, while yaki udon and ramen supply noodle-based alternatives to rice and teppan. The breadth matters: someone can come for the spectacle of seared food from the iron plate, yet another diner at the same table can choose sashimi, tempura or a warming bowl instead.
The most sociable version of the experience is built around the shared grill, where precise cooking and playful presentation keep the table engaged between courses. Sake and wine support that celebratory character, and the Ferrymead layout can accommodate anything from an intimate private-room booking to a larger teppan group. Children's meals make the restaurant easier for families, while the kitchen asks diners to raise allergies and dietary requirements so the team can guide the order appropriately. That combination of performance, choice and practical hospitality explains why @Tony's can suit a birthday as naturally as a straightforward Japanese lunch.

A benchmark Waipara Chardonnay of remarkable depth and grace. Multi-layered and complex, it delivers a concentrated core of ripe stone fruit perfectly balanced by a bright, crisp acidity. A masterclass in structure with an elegant, remarkably long finish
Charles Wiffen — Marlborough, NZ
A beautifully textured Marlborough Chardonnay. Medium-to-full bodied, it presents a bright, elegant profile of lemon, white nectarine, and vibrant grapefruit. Extended time spent on its lees imparts a wonderfully creamy, nutty mouthfeel, culminating in a sophisticated and deeply satisfying finish
Church Road (McDonald Series) — Hawkes Bay, NZ
An exceptional Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay that perfectly balances richness with refinement. Ripe apricot and bright lemon flavours are beautifully integrated with creamy, subtle oak. Fleshy and luxurious on the palate, it is lifted by a fine seam of minerality and crisp acidity for a flawlessly elegant finish.
Saint Clair (Origin) — Marlborough, NZ
A beautifully fruit-forward Chardonnay bursting with flavours of ripe peach, melon, and lightly toasted oak. Smooth and approachable with a lingering, elegant finish.

Urlar — Gladstone, NZ
An exceptionally elegant Sauvignon Blanc from Gladstone. Wonderfully textural and rounded on the palate, it unfolds with luscious layers of ripe guava, passionfruit, and fresh gooseberry. Beautifully balanced by a delicate mineral thread and crisp citrus notes, it delivers a sophisticated and vibrant finish.
Saint Clair (Pioneer Block 3) — Marlborough, NZ
Crisp and vibrant. Layered flavours of blackcurrant, green capsicum, and tropical fruit are balanced by a juicy, mouthwatering acid line.
Nautilus Estate — Marlborough, NZ
Juicy and mouth-watering with delightful citrus and kaffir lime zest flavours, supported by a distinct mineral backbone.
Aromatics
Pegasus Bay Riesling — Waipara, NZ
Opulent and succulent. It delivers rich flavours of lemon zest, peach, and ginger, frequently enhanced by noble rot (botrytis) which adds weight, depth, and honied notes.
Jim Barry (Watervale) Dry Riesling — Clare Valley, Australia
A classic Australian dry Riesling with striking purity. Expect vibrant aromas of lime juice and white florals, followed by a crisp, bone-dry palate and a refreshing, zesty finish.
Main Divide Pinot Gris — Waipara, NZ
A luscious, off-dry Pinot Gris with expressive notes of ripe pear, quince, and honeysuckle. A touch of warm spice adds complexity to its generous, textural palate.
Crater Rim (From the Ashes) Pinot Gris — Waipara, NZ
Elegantly structured and wonderfully fresh. Delivers delicate aromas of green apple and stone fruit, leading into a smooth, balanced palate with a clean, crisp finish.
