Omotesando Ukai Tei — Restaurant in Tokyo

😱wait till the abalone - Favorite meal US$200 for wagyu, abalone, firefly Squid sashimi, and wagyu welli

I booked this restaurant for my mom and I 2 months before our trip since I really wanted to have teppanyaki. So glad I did! Found out after reading reviews that it books up really quick

If you don't want to splurge $200 for this course (we chose the cheapest wagyu option which was already fatty and delicious), you can book for lunch

Once you walk into the restaurant, you're greeted by beautiful antique vases & chandeliers, carved wooden pillars, antique vases from 1300s, and beautifully decorated flowers & living room

The menu included: -chefs appetizers - caviar with a warm hotcake + seasonal peas & vegetables bamboo shoot with wagyu abalone in sea salt, kelp, & butter (the most tender abalone I had in my life. They cook the organs down into the butter) firefly Squid sashimi local veggie somen (thin noodle) fried wagyu beef garlic fried rice & miso soup desserts - we picked yuzu gelato and matcha strawberry parfait (super crunchy , and packed with flavor)

It was such an impressive meal, the chef was very patient with us and explained every dish

I'll be...

I have been to many teppanyakis before and this one was definetly one of the best! The appetizers came in small portions and were also adjusted based on the season, for example we came in the Summer and they served us cold, refreshing seafood and jelly. The place provides a private room and a chef who cooks right in front of you. The main dish, the wagyu beef was definetly one of the best I've ever had. It is so tender and the beef flavor melts in your mouth that they don't provide a knife and fork for you to cut it and instead the chopsticks. The waiter also paid close attention and gave us different cutlery based on what you were eating. We also had garlic fried rice which wasn't the best, but the miso soup and cucumber on the side made up for it. After the main courses were served, they brought us to a different room to enjoy desserts like pudding, parfait and cake and have tea and coffee. Overall I would recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy a Michelin star meal in a quiet and chilled...
