The Gu Teppanyaki Seating and Private Rooms

The Gu Teppanyaki seating and private rooms

The Gu offers a 9-seat Teppanyaki counter and private Teppanyaki rooms for 5 or 12 guests. Counter seating is designed for a close view of cooking, while private rooms provide a more separate setting. Every arrangement depends on availability and must be confirmed for the requested date and time.

How seating changes the experience

Distance from the teppan affects how clearly guests can observe preparation, talk with their group and follow dishes served one at a time. The best seat therefore depends on whether the priority is visibility, privacy, party size or business conversation.

The 9-seat Teppanyaki counter

Counter seating places guests close to the flat cooking surface. They can hear ingredients meet the metal, observe heat control and receive courses shortly after preparation.

It can suit first-time guests, couples, individuals and small groups when seats are available. Separate parties may share the counter during the same service. A counter reservation should therefore not be treated as exclusive unless the restaurant explicitly confirms it.

Private Teppanyaki rooms for 5 or 12 guests

Private rooms offer greater separation for families, celebrations or business meals while retaining a Teppanyaki cooking experience. The listed capacity describes the room format; it does not promise that a room is free on the requested date.

Guests should provide the exact number of adults and children. A group should not assume that a larger room, different layout or exclusive arrangement is available without confirmation.

Counter or private room: which should you choose?

Choose the counter when watching the cooking is the main priority and sharing the broader counter is acceptable. Ask for a private room when the group needs more separation, focused conversation or an environment planned around a celebration.

Five details to confirm

1. Exact number of adults and children.
2. Preferred date and service time.
3. Counter seating or a 5- or 12-guest private room.
4. Selected set menu, allergies and dietary restrictions.
5. Celebration, mobility, child-seat or timing requirements.

Dinner periods, weekends and special dates can fill in advance. Children’s chairs are limited. Guests with mobility requirements should ask staff to assess the on-site route and seating before arrival rather than relying on general assumptions.

Frequently asked questions

Can separate parties share the Teppanyaki counter?

Yes. The 9-seat counter may host separate parties during the same service. Request and confirm a private room if exclusivity is important.

Are private rooms guaranteed for groups of 5 or 12?

No. Those are the stated room capacities, but availability must be confirmed for the requested date, time and party.

Which seating is best for watching the chef?

The counter generally provides the closest direct view of the teppan. The exact sightline depends on the assigned seat and service arrangement.

Can mobility or child-seat needs be accommodated?

Guests should disclose these needs before booking. Staff must confirm the available route, seating and limited child-chair inventory.
