menus
Authentic Japanese prepared right before your eyes
Teppanyaki is a feature of dining at Koko – a style of cooking in which the chef prepares prime cuts of beef, chicken and seafood together with fresh seasonal vegetables, cooked on a large steel hotplate called a "Teppan". In Japan "yaki" refers to ingredients that have been grilled, hence "Teppanyaki".
At Koko we provide an authentic, refined style of Teppanyaki as practised in Japan. The aim is to cook the best possible ingredients in a skillful manner right before your eyes. Just watching the chef's deft hands and techniques will add a deeper appreciation of the food you are about to eat.

We advise guests to view our dietary and allergen specific menus prior to booking. While Crown Melbourne will endeavour to accommodate requests for special meals for customers who have food allergies or intolerances, we cannot guarantee completely allergy-free meals. This is due to the potential of trace allergens in the working environment and supplied ingredients.
