Murasaki Sushi and Teppanyaki Restaurant – Southport Queensland Teppanyaki is a fantastic way to feed the kids a healthy meal and keep them entertained at the same time.  A good Teppanyaki resaurant will offer fresh, simple Japanese style food with the utensil and entertainment skills of the Chef.

Murasaki Sushi and Teppanyaki Restaurant is in the heart of Southport, in the culinary district surrounding Australia Fair.  The menu is extensive, though we stayed within the Teppanyaki range.  Fish, chicken, beef and a wide array of seafood is available in a variety of styles.  Most of the kids went with the Terriyaki sauce over a range of proteins that include prawns, chicken and beef.

With  knives twirling, food flying and condiments spinning, our chef kept the kids entertained to the extent that the adults were able to conduct a conversation without the obligitory interruptions.  I would have excused a sub-par effort with the food for the relative peace we experienced, but even the food was great.

Prices were reasonable, particularly as we had alot of seafood and drank plenty of saki.  Kids meals were around $12 and our platters (for 2) were in the $45-60 range.
