Dining at a teppanyaki is a whole experience – the smell, the sizzle and the extravagant shows put on by the chefs!
From deluxe sushi (we love us some omakase!) to casual yakitori joints with free-flow sake and hole-in-the-wall ramen that hits the spot, it’s no secret that Hong Kongers love Japanese cuisine. Along that note, teppanyaki – derived from “teppan” meaning iron plate and “yaki” for grilled, boiled or pan-fried – is perhaps the most dramatic style of Japanese cooking. Chefs set iron plates on fire, toss ingredients in the air and masterfully use special anmako spatulas to prepare your dish – sometimes they throw in a little magic trick too! Given the extravagance and fresh-off-the-grill succulence, teppanyaki restaurants can be pricy but we’ve vetted ones worth booking in Hong Kong.

Kozy Okonomi-yaki Teppan-yaki – A more affordable, late-night teppanyaki restaurant in Causeway Bay
If you’re on the hunt for fair prices that won’t hurt your wallet and a humble environment for casual dining, make your way to Kozy. The à la carte menu keeps it nice and simple of what you’d want on your table (the spring onion okonomiyaki is one for sure), but given the popularity and limited space, waiting times can be pretty long (and service is said to be generally slow) – we recommend booking in advance.
