One of the branded names in Teppanyaki located in Tokyo. Ukai-Tei was a one michelin starred restaurant prior to 2016. Walking into Ginza’s Ukai-Tei (First outlet), is alike to walking into a historical museum. The setting is very mid 19th century Japanese Victorian.
I wanted to savor traditional Japanese Teppanyaki, and Ukai-Tei seemed to be my best option whilst browsing through the web.
Here’s my verdict :
If you’ll like to have a taste of traditional teppanyaki located in the city of Tokyo, here is your place. Lunch courses start from as low as ¥7,020++, but don’t expect to be full. The most memorable dish was the scallop in cream soup, the scallop was tender in the middle but crispy at the edges. The beef portion was small, but seeing as I picked the ¥9,720 set lunch course which included UKAI Top Quality Beef Steak ( Same beef being used in the Ginza Ukai-tei Course ¥19,440 ) it made sense to pick the mid priced lunch option.
After your last course, you’ll be escorted to the ‘dessert’ lounge, where you will take your dessert and coffee/tea.
Overall, a good dining experience.

Will I Return O-Meter : Probably not, Ukai-Tei is one of those restaurants for me whereby I have to try at least ONCE (bragging right).
