森鐵板燒 — Restaurant in Taichung

The restaurant markets itself as Michelin guide recommended for three years in a row. Know that Michelin guide recommended is not the same as getting a Michelin star. Being on a guide book is not the same as receiving an award. My party went for the A12 and king crab. The crab was amazing and by far the sweetest. The A12 on the other hand was a let down.

The first serving of the A12 was burnted, you can taste the smoking of the fat from too high of a temperature. Following the A12 was either drowned in truffle oil, truffle paste, or seaweed salt (the better of the three). You’ll get about 7 bites of A12 per person.

Service overall was just good. Nothing exceptional to highlight.

I was unimpressed by the food not because of portions but by taste and presentation. The menu pricing is correct but I think the quality of food could have been better. Foods that could have improved include: soup, salad, fish and scallop, A12 Wagyu, and dessert. Using the best materials in some places but the inability to bring out the food is disappointing.

After we paid and left. We received a phone call three hours later saying they had miscalculated our meal. We’ll come to your doorsteps and collect the remaining amount. The waitress came and apologized for the inconvenience with a small gift.

Is the price acceptable per person for this type of dining? Yes. Did I enjoy my food? Only the king crab was the highlight. Everything else could have...

Food: As the name suggested, they serve top grade Japanese Teppanyaki with few exquisite sets menu namely, Dinner Set, Business Set and VIP set. The highlights of the menu are Royal Handpicked Wagyu Beef (Exclusive Limited Edition), Royal Wagyu Beef 12A, Royal Wagyu Beef 10A, Hokkaido Crabs, Lobster Canada, Rosy Seabass(紅喉魚), Eighteen Chicken Farms In Tea (森飼養紅茶雞) etc.

My favorite: Wagyu Beef 12A - The beef was prepared in 7 different ways with different techniques, seasoning only with three types of salt with no oil 😋😋😋😋😋.

Service: Well, I am really impressed by the services provided by the restaurant. The chef has put on a wonderful “show” in explaining the details of each course (where the food came from all the time delicately cutting, cooking and placing the foods on the plates). Besides, the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive! 👍👍👍👍👍

Atmosphere: The restaurant is well decorated with elegant interior and the guests were served in private dining room! 👍👍👍👍👍

Verdict: It is my 1st attempt to try top-grade Japanese Teppanyaki. Overall, it was great. However, there are few improvements needed – the food is abit salty especially Teppanyaki beef and the food...

It is amazing. The Japanese beef is amazing. I would recommend to try the 12A grade beef. It is expensive but absolutely worth it for money and memory. The chef cooks each bite for you. They cook as you eat. I live in Minnesota and own my own medical device business. I have eaten great food all around the world. This is one of the best dining experience I ever have. Not all great food is expensive. Sometimes I love the hole in the wall food. Really cheap food but amazing. Some expensive meal is amazing. This is the case. I strongly recommend it! By the way, there is no volcano show like in the US for hibachi. This is high class that they cook every bite for you. Still family friendly because they have kids meal. They cook like 20 different flavor for a steak. Very cool. I celebrated my mom’s 76th birthday and...
