The address for this restaurant says Burrard, but the actual entrance is on Alberni Street.
Restaurant - Gyu Japanese Teppanaki Restaurant
Seating - 7:00pm
Price - $25
Ambiance - Nicely separated rooms with flat Teppanaki Grill in front of 6 - 8 people
Service - friendly Teppanaki Chef and efficient wait staff
Food we had -
Appy: Seasonal Greens with Dressing & Lobster Miso Soup [typical fare at most Japanese Restaurant; no lobster in the soup; might have been stewed in Lobster Shells since it smells like lobster]
Entree: Half Live Crab, Shrimp, Squid, Scallop, Filet of Chicken, Thinly Sliced Alberta Ribeye, Assorted Vegetables & Steamed Rice [the chef cooked everything in front of you; he paced it while cooking for others that share the cooktop so that you are not rushed]
Dessert: Green Tea Ice Cream
Additional Comments - the chef makes the meal and ours was quite entertaining. The thinly sliced Alberta Ribeye was cooked to our specification (rare) and wrapped with green onion and toasted garlic chips. The chef also gave us some XO Sauce (spicy hot sauce with heated dried scallop); and introduce us to the various sauce to dip our meat (Ponzu Citrus Sauce, Apple Sesame Sauce, and Tomato Sauce) The value of the meal was very reasonable. The party that was sharing our table and chef opted to choose the regular menu (Dinner Menu A) and it was about 5 dollars more and they had no crab but have some small steak pieces.
Downside - since you are sitting right up to the stove where the chef is cooking, even though the vent was going, you still smell like you have been cooking in an industrial kitchen and you smell oily.
Meet expectation: Yes, good value for food.

I went there last fall. (And I blogged about it too!) The service was good. They waited for our whole party to arrive before seating us and the female chef was friendly.
The food was good, but you're right, I smelled like my food. The good thing was that I went in the summer so it's not like my sweaters and winter coat smelled like my meal.
The menu sounds very similiar to their regular menu? I know they had some dinner specials or set dinners... but I can't remember how much different the price may have been.
