Who doesn’t like teppanyaki? You get to choose your own ingredients, watch your food being cooked right in front of you, and eat everything while it’s still hot.

Teppanyaki is a Japanese style of cooking that mainly involves cooking up pieces of seafood, meats and vegetables on a hot pan in front of diners.

We pretty much love anything related to Japanese, needless to say food included. Here’s a list of 10 teppanyaki restaurants that you can visit for an interactive dining experience.

SOI SG

What about [email protected] Park Hotel? it used to be very good during the 1980s and early 1990s but heard it has changed a lot since.

The place used to be full nightly and they used to have a lounge area where after teppanyaki meal, one can relax in comfort sofas and served with Green Tea and fruits as well as coffee and other drinks were available.

Nowadays and in my opinion, I liked Hide Yamamoto, Tatsu, Ajiya, Keyaki and Mikuni (not in order of merit).

I think Shima has the all you can eat teppanyaki set.
