Best places: Teppan grill restaurants in Japan

😐 Very good meat, but for the price you pay I would expect more of the experience. The place feels very touristy and inauthentic. When we went I think about 90% were tourists. Also the overall quality of the dishes was mediocre and not very creative. The staff was very nice and polite, nothing to com...

👍👍 Absolutely delicious Monja!! The vibes in the restaurant were so awesome, and although it was packed, you still get attention really quickly from the staff. Shoutout to the lovable servers cooking up our monja and okonomiyaki~ The food was amazing and it is definitely worth a trip back just to eat t...

👍👍 Absolutely the best Kobe beef I've ever had! High recommend this restaurant! We had the filet and sirloin from a champion Kobe cow, and it was well worth the money. They even gave us birth certificate with lineage and credentials. What a one of a kind experience. The meat melts in your mouth and is...

👍👍 It’s hard to capture in a review how wonderful and magical of an experience we had at Teppan Tavern. Hands down the best meal we had in Japan, and probably the most incredible all-around dining experience I’ve ever had! We had a reservation at 5pm and were warmly welcomed by the owners (a married co...

👍👍 We've been in Japan for two weeks now, one in Tokyo and the other in Sendai. This was our first night in Kyoto and after a day of Monkeys and Manga we walked past this place and decided to give it a try. I'm so very glad we did. Not only was the food delicious, the cook was incredibly friendl...

😠 Unless there's some sort of cultural way of charging I'm unaware of in Japan, this place potentially rips off foreigners, so be wary. When I went, the owner charged his prices per person, which wasn't really clear upfront. So if you're there with 1 other person and you both eat 1 set of takoyaki to...

👍👍 MOST AMAZING FOOD EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD!!! The chef and the waiters/waitresses gave us great hospitality! AND THE FOOD! To die for! Me and a friend of mine were lucky enough to be the last two to be served and the chef was kind enough to let us take pictures of his food and even other stuff worthy o...

👍👍 In Tsukishima, a cozy Monjayaki restaurant offers a unique culinary experience. The sizzling sound of Monjayaki, Tokyo's savory pancake, fills the air. The lively atmosphere is accentuated by the aroma of grilled ingredients. Patrons enjoy customizing their dishes, choosing from a variety of fresh t...

😐 Reasonable quality place but nowhere near as good as many restaurants we’ve eaten in Japan, so we were disappointed, particularly in light of all the great reviews. Possibly all customers when we were there were tourists which we think may explain the strangely high rating (4.6 currently - there’s j...

👍👍 The BEST 7 course dinner of my life. Hospitality is Exceptional. Felt like Royalty the whole night. A MUST for anyone who appreciates the BEST in life.

👍👍 Excellent charcoal grill amid a tranquil ambient. Truly romantic place for a good dinner and ambient. Traditional houses with kitchens spread along the road present the preservation of the layout. Excellent!

👍👍 A great choice if you want to get the real experience 🙂 I decided to go for the best as I don't expect to get to Kobe anytime soon. So I ordered the dinner menu along with the best A5 Kobe sirloin steak. (I picked sirloin over tenderloin because I prefer more of the buttery fatty parts). The presen...

😠 Too expensive for such poor tasting food. Watching the chef make the food was cool though. Felt the anti usa sentiment was alive and well in the staff here also. 😲

👍👍 Welcoming staff and chef. Waited about 20 min for a seat with no reservation. Had the Kobe tenderloin and it was fantastic. Helpful suggestions about which sauce to dip, and the meal was paired with high quality seasonal sides. Expensive, but that’s to be expected

😠 This place stopped allowing customers to bring your own wine and pay corkage. Been here many times and always allowed. Tonight they said no and didn’t let me drink the bottle that I brought even as the last time exception….So inflexible for customer that has been coming here many times. Also the...

👍👍 Small place and reservations definitely needed. We saw quite a number of walk-ins being turned away. Onomiyaki and teppanyaki steak and prawns were delicious. Can skip the butter potatoes in lieu of the garlic rice!

Sleek space for select Japanese fare, with meat & fish sizzled on table-side hotplates, plus garden.

👍 Excellent kobe beef experience. Friendly chef, attentive waiters, and kobe beef. What more can you ask for? Just sit back, eat, and let the beef melt in your mouth while you ponder about your health.
