On a typhoon day, I quickly went to a nearby open restaurant to eat since the wind and rain weren't too heavy. I wanted some dishes, so I chose Dapu Teppanyaki. Unfortunately, the chef here doesn’t have the skill of wrapping, so I couldn’t verify if the wrapped ones taste better. There was no break in between, so I could still have teppanyaki for afternoon tea. The restaurant has only one large grill station and about ten seats. Around 4 PM on a typhoon day, I didn’t have to wait in line, and there were quite a few people coming for takeout. Some even came to get vegetables to go. A box for $50 includes cabbage and bean sprouts, which seems pretty worthwhile and convenient.

Once seated, the chef immediately asks if I want it spicy and starts cooking the dishes to save waiting time. I found the food a bit on the salty side, but it was within an acceptable range and pairs well with white rice.

Fresh oysters $180. The flavor of the oysters was more pronounced, but there was no unpleasant freshness to it. However, I ended up with 2 or 3 small pieces of oyster shells in my meal.

I personally think the Dapu Teppanyaki is just average. If possible, I would choose to spend a bit more time at other places.
