Sura Teppanyaki centres the experience on cooking as performance, with counter seats arranged around the live teppanyaki grill at its Spitfire Square restaurant. Guests who prefer a more conventional meal can choose the separate main-table dining area instead. The two settings suit different occasions: a grill-side celebration where the cooking is part of the entertainment, or a quieter Japanese dinner built from the wider menu.
Appetizers cover crisp, fried and gently seasoned contrasts before the grill sets begin. Edamame and potato croquettes sit beside pork-and-vegetable gyoza, takoyaki and agedashi tofu. Hoki and potato aonori chips introduce a seaweed note, while fried squid and spring rolls filled with prawn, mozzarella and nori offer richer choices for a table that wants to share several small dishes.
The teppanyaki sets bundle miso, stir-fried vegetables and rice with different combinations from the grill. Seafood options draw on prawns, salmon, scallops, white fish, squid and mussels, while chicken, lamb and New Zealand eye fillet give meat eaters their own range. A dedicated vegetarian set means the set-menu format is not restricted to seafood or meat, and makes mixed groups easier to accommodate around the same grill.
Beyond teppanyaki, the kitchen moves into tempura, sushi rolls and Akaroa salmon sashimi, with venison tenderloin and lamb rack available from the à-la-carte selection. A Japanese sharing menu provides a ready-made option for two. Sake, plum and citrus drinks, beer and wine accompany the savoury dishes, before green-tea ice cream, tempura banana or a teppan-cooked banana crêpe closes the meal.
