Mr. Wong (Michael Hui) is the chief chef in a Teppanyaki restaurant. His overbearing wife and sadistic father-in-law make his home life a misery, so he spends all day dreaming about his dream girl, Sissy (Sally Yeh). When she comes into the restaurant, Wong seizes the opportunity and arranges to take her on a tour of the Paradise Island. Unfortunately, his wife and her friend go with him.
Directed by Michael Hui Koon-Man, Teppanyaki leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Hui Koon-Man, Sally Yeh Chian-Wen, Frances Yip — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1984.
