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. Here's a list of 10 teppanyaki restaurants in Singapore that you can visit for an interactive dining experience.
As someone who's so accustomed to predictable set menus at a teppanyaki restaurant, the Japanese-style no-menu concept at MINSUIZEN RAKU Omakase Teppanyaki reignited that childlike excitement I thought I'd outgrown.
The restaurant surroundings feature a serene garden and an illuminated fountain courtyard. Watch chefs perform culinary artistry at the open teppan counter, paired with elegant Japanese tableware for a full sensory immersion. Reservation required to savor the experience — your seat is secured only when booked ahead.
Located on the 3rd floor of Frasers Tower in the heart of the CBD, this Taiwan-based restaurant not only has outlets in Taipei and Kaohsiung but also in Japan, Hong Kong, and now, finally, Singapore!
The brand has ambitious expansion plans, with upcoming openings targeted in South Korea, the United States, Canada, and China, where they are currently exploring strategic locations.
For 3 years, it's been renowned to be the most popular omakase teppanyaki brand in Taiwan, boasting 8,000+ Google reviews globally with an average rating of 4.8 stars. Besides being reputed for offering its customers excellent value, it's also part of the world's largest directly operated omakase teppanyaki chain — now, that's impressive! The chefs utilise the simplest seasoning to emphasise the original taste of premium ingredients.
Each dish undergoes over 3 months of continuous testing and multiple evaluations before making it onto the menu. Every 2 months, new creations or subtle adjustments are introduced, ensuring that each visit feels fresh and different.
Chef Stanley embarked us on our 12-course S$88++ & S$138++ menu that began with a trio of starters — a 6-hour long simmered lala soup, a truffle-infused angel hair pasta with sakura shrimps and tobiko, and a chawanmushi with truffle paste and a drizzling of Japanese chilli oil.
One of the highlights was the grilled Hokkaido Scallop with Mala Sauce and Fried Tofu, finished off with a crowning of opulent salmon roe. Another dish that won us over was the Grilled black tiger prawns — served with their legs on, they were skillet-grilled to a satisfying crisp. The sauce was a sinful but yummy prawn head butter, sautéed and chopped.
For the S$138++ menu, it comes with an unctuous and juicy Beef Slider. Sandwiched between 2 fluffy, grilled brioche buns, the meat patty was accentuated by a slice of parmesan crisp that was made on the spot. The slightly savoury and aromatic crisp paired really well with the tasty beef patty that was bursting with flavour.
I was also served the luxurious, well-marbled Japanese Kumamato A5 Wagyu. It was flambéed, grilled to our desired doneness, and precisely portioned into bite-sized cubes. The dish was served with a rich red wine sauce and roasted garlic cloves.
Each bite melted in my mouth like soft butter, perfuming my palate with an unsurpassed fragrance that's only derived from Wagyu. However, if some customers aren't accustomed to the rich and fatty taste of A5, they can opt for the A4 instead. It comes with slightly less fat and tastes meatier.
Dine at MINSUIZEN RAKU Omakase Teppanyaki during your birthday month and enjoy a complimentary signature dessert from the chef as a special birthday treat. It's also a perfect spot to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
