The MouseHub take

Teppan Edo is the teppanyaki room on the second story of EPCOT's Japan pavilion, above the Mitsukoshi store. Chefs cook at grills built into the tables, and Disney bills the meal as part show. Tables seat up to 8, so a party of two eats alongside another group at the chef's pace. Entrees cover steak, chicken, seafood, and vegetables, each with a garden salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and steamed white rice. Sushi, edamame, and sake come off the same list, which does not change between lunch and dinner. The room opened with EPCOT on October 1, 1982 and took the Teppan Edo name in 2007.

Settle the price before you book. Entrees and combinations run $28 to $48, and the Japanese A5 wagyu plates reach $88, past the $15 to $34.99 band Disney prints on the page. Families do best here: the cooking holds a child's attention and grilled chicken and shrimp suit cautious eaters. Diners hoping for something they cannot get at a hometown hibachi place say the food tastes familiar, and couples find the room loud.

At a glance

Best for: Families with kids who want dinner and a show without booking a character meal.
Skip if: You want a quiet table for two, or a Japanese meal you cannot get at home.
Worth ordering: Volcano Roll, Asakusa, NY Cut Steak, Filet Mignon, Miso Soup
Reservations: Reservations open 60 days out and the tables cap at 8 guests, so the room seats fewer people than its footprint suggests. Put everyone in the party on the booking regardless of age, and cancel in time: the card on file is charged a per-person fee for a no-show.
Value: Entrees and combinations run $28 to $48 before drinks, tax, and tip, and the premium wagyu and filet plates run $66 to $88. Each one includes salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and rice, which is where the value sits.

The good

Every seat faces the grill
Disney builds the tables around the cooking surface and promises a clear view from every chair. The chef works a few feet away for the whole meal.
The chefs put on a show while they cook
Disney sells this as part meal, part show, and diners come away talking about the knife work and the jokes as much as the food. Kids stay in their seats for it.
Picky eaters can order plainly
The entrees are chicken breast, grilled shrimp, salmon, a NY cut steak, and a vegetable plate. Nobody at the table has to work around an unfamiliar menu.
Every entree comes with four sides
Garden salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and steamed white rice arrive with each entree and combination. Diners report leaving full without ordering anything extra.
The sake list is worth a look
Guests 21 and over can order Japanese beer, wine, hot or cold sake, and sake cocktails. A $30 flight pours Dassai Blue, Moon on the Water, and Karatamba.
Servers keep pace with the chef
Drinks get refilled and plates cleared between courses without breaking the performance. Diners single out how well the two jobs are coordinated.

The bad

The food tastes like hibachi anywhere else
Visitors who came to EPCOT for Japanese cooking they cannot get at home leave disappointed. The comparison that recurs is the teppanyaki place in their own town.
You share the table with strangers
Tables are designed to seat up to 8 and usually hold several parties, so a couple or a family of three sits down with another group. Quiet conversation is hard to hold.
The bill runs past what the page suggests
Disney tags the restaurant $$, $15 to $34.99 per adult, and the cheapest entree on the menu is $28. Diners also point out that a comparable meal off property costs less.
Dinner takes as long as the chef takes
The meal moves through courses at the pace of the cooking, and you cannot speed it up. Guests with a show or a Lightning Lane return afterward feel the squeeze.
The room gets loud
Several grills run at once, each with its own chef and its own audience. The clatter and the cheering carry across an open room.

Veteran tips

Lunch costs the same as dinner
One menu covers both seatings at one price, so a midday table saves nothing. Lunch runs 12:00 PM to 3:55 PM and dinner 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Book 60 days out, early in the morning
Reservations open 60 days ahead, and new booking windows appear around 6:00 AM. Resort hotel guests can book the whole stay, up to 10 nights, from 60 days before arrival.
The app books tables, not walk-ups
My Disney Experience offers Reserve Dining here and no Join Walk-Up List, so without a reservation you are asking at the podium rather than joining a queue on your phone.
Allow time to get upstairs
The restaurant is on the second floor of the Mitsukoshi Department Store, reached by the stairs or the elevator, so the walk from the World Showcase promenade takes longer than the map suggests.
Add the Volcano Roll from the sushi side
A grilled california roll topped with shrimp, scallops, and volcano sauce, at $24.50. It comes out of the kitchen rather than the grill, so it lands early in the meal.
Price the add-ons before you order
Enhancements run from $16 for mixed mushrooms to $38 for a lobster tail, and the Japanese A5 wagyu entrees are $88. One order of mushrooms covers a table.
Kids' entrees stop at age 9
The menu limits them to children 9 and younger, at $18 to $26. An adult with a small appetite orders off the main menu or splits an enhancement.
Ask for a Special Diets Trained Cast Member
Speak to a cast member about an allergy-friendly request on arrival. Disney's menu says it cannot guarantee any item is free of allergens, which is worth weighing at a shared grill.
