Ginza Ukai-Tei — Restaurant in Tokyo

Top notch Japanese teppanyaki in Ginza. A classy place with excellent service, food and staff. My family made the mistake of being under dressed, however they were very gracious and welcomed us. Business or smart casual is recommended.

The food can be ordered as a course or a la carte with your choice of protein which was sourced from various parts of Japan with certificates . The kids had the hamburger steak, which was out of this world, and my wife and I ordered the steak course menu. Beef in Japan is on the buttery/rich side and so portion-wise you may not want to indulge on the larger cut of meat when ordering. You don't have to worry about being hungry because there is plenty of other items in the course menu that is amazing and filling.

Overall, two thumbs up and will definitely be coming again. Highly recommended.

Note: reservations are required and book through your hotel or credit card...

We we’re in Ginza yesterday looking for a good restaurant to try Teppanyaki. We came across this jewel which definitely left us with a great experience. They have different course meals and we picked the lunch one which was ¥9,900 + 10% service and didn’t included drinks (it does include tea and coffee for dessert).

Everything was really good; We would highlight the pumpkin cream, scallop (amazing), sirloin wagyu (delicious, I just didn’t quiet get why they serve it with so much raw onion... I think it’s not a good complement to it at all) and the pistachio creme brûlée with raspberry sorbet was awesome!

The service was great, they are super polite and speak very well english.

Definitely pricey but hey you’re in Ginza which is definitely an expensive area, but I felt it was worth the experience, the place is beautiful.

Would...

Ukaitei Ginza provided a superb dinner. My friend and I selected the mid-range menu and, although being told that one of the shell fish courses was not available, the restaurant staff was able to replace it with a better option. And then the show began. Seeing that I was taking notes, our chef was replaced by Maestro chef Junichi Taniwaki, who displayed the reason why he has earned his Maestro title. The dinner was magnificent and combined European flavors with Japanese cuisine. It was a feast and we were honored with the opportunity of witnessing a unique Tepanyaki culinary show. The interior decoration was a little bit over the top but it targets another type of audience. Ukatei has set the benchmark in Tepanyaki cuisine and it will definitively ruin the rest of the Tepanyaki restaurants I will visit, as I think it is hard to beat...
