Ukai-tei Roppongi — Restaurant in Tokyo

We selected Ukai-tei Roppongi for lunch because it offered a ¥9,900 lunch menu with fewer courses than other Ukai-tei locations, which would mean a shorter meal. Our goal was wagyu beef and didn't care for anything else. We believe Ukai-tei offers a premium selection and the steak would be expertly prepared. We had scheduled a second lunch with friends for that day so this was perfect.

Regrettably, we discovered from our waiter that the beef was wagyu rump, not tenderloin or sirloin, but it was too late to change it because the meal was prepared after our online booking, which required pre-selecting a menu. The English version of the booking page was not specific on the part of the cut. Fortunately, the wagyu rump was outstanding.

It was an great experience that words cannot describe. I took some photos that I'd like to...

What an experience 👍🏻👍🏻

I always thought teppanyaki was fun but here it’s an art.

The menu is seasonal and they take great care in accommodating any allergy you have.

The chef was welcoming and fun to talk to but most importantly cooked delicious food.

Started with the crab and salmon roe. A great beginning 👍🏻

Next came the scallop with crispy lotus root. The scallop wad giant and had the best sear on a scallop I ever saw.

The chestnut soup was just lovely. The salmon with the cheese crust was eye opening.

The fish with crispy sclaes wad one of the best dishes I tried in Japan.

We had lots of Kobe beef and the one served here was definitely one...

Ukai-tei Roppongi offers a luxurious and sophisticated teppanyaki dining experience. The restaurant's elegant atmosphere and impeccable service create a truly special occasion setting. The premium ingredients, including meat and seafoods are soooo fresh and sweet, expertly prepared by skilled chefs on the teppan grill right before your eyes. The accompanying sauces and side dishes complement the main courses beautifully. While Ukai-tei Roppongi is undoubtedly a splurge, the exceptional quality of the food, the elegant ambiance, and the impressive teppanyaki skills on display make it a worthwhile and memorable...
