Alongside irresistible offerings of grilled meats, seafood, vegetables and more!
Good food doesn't just cut it when at any Teppanyaki restaurant . Instead, an immersive, show-stopping and interactive culinary performance is a requisite for the traditional Japanese dining experience.
Kind of like the Cirque Du Soleil of culinary arts, Teppanyaki style of cooking has its chefs display their prowess in hand acrobatics with griddle tools, sometimes including fire-blazing stunts where meats are cooked in a fiery fashion on the hot, sizzling pan. And because everything is grilled and served upfront, diners can testify the preparations of the food for themselves.
Here are five restaurants to witness these tantalising spectaculars that close with a lip-smacking epilogue.

For easterners, there’s no need to travel far and wide to get your Teppanyaki fix.
Located along East Coast Road, Tokaikan Japanese Restaurant entices with the usual grilled offerings, with its afternoons seeing weekday lunch specials (Tuesday – Friday) of Japanese bento set ($12.90) that includes a choice of chicken, beef or pork, alongside salmon sashimi, fried ebi and chawanmushi. However, the highlight of the Teppanyaki restaurant could arguably be its charismatic chefs, who frequently rope the diners into their culinary theatrics by using the griddle tools to fling pieces of food into the diners’ mouth at a distance.
