If you’re unfamiliar with the Teppan-Ya menu, fret not as we have provided extensive info on the list of dishes that you can try out.
For those who want to relish their taste buds with teppanyaki, we highly recommend you to order the teppan kaiseki course.

Amongst the available options are chicken ($128), USDA prime striploin beef ($158), USDA prime tenderloin beef ($168), USDA prime beef & French foie-gras ($178), Japanese prime Wagyu beef & seafood ($238), harvest of the sea ($158), seafood pot ($158), USDA prime beef & seafood ($188), prime lobster & seafood ($218) and prime lobster & USDA prime beef ($218).

However, if you truly want to indulge in its delectable menu, we suggest you try one or two of its signature dishes. Personally, we are head over heels with the Kumi’s No.1 Special ($13.50) which features crab meat, avocado and white fish baked white a special sauce. The 3 kind of signature appetiser plate ($34) is ideal if you want to try several different types of dish like Kumi’s No.1 Special, ahi fillet and baked oyster. Other signature dishes that are worth mentioning are papaya motoyaki ($32) baked oyster ($26), ahi poke ($34), ahi fillet ($38), tuna carpaccio ($38) and Norwegian salmon ceviche ($38).
If you wish to simply skip the teppanyaki, you can opt for the deluxe set selection which features a mixture of traditional Japanese dishes like sashimi, sushi and bento. These sets include sashimi selection set ($68), vegetarian bento ($64), sushi bento ($68), cod fish bento ($68), Japanese premium wagyu beef bento ($88), Norwegian salmon teriyaki set ($64), grilled yellowtail cheek set ($64), chicken teriyaki set ($64) and una-jyu set ($68).
Apart from the appetiser, sushi rolls, sashimi, noodles and tempura, the dessert at Teppan-Ya is equally remarkable as well. Besides, a dessert is a perfect way to end any mealtime. If you’re into ice cream like us, you will be glad to know that they offer yuzu sherbet ($10), green tea ice cream ($10) and black sesame ice cream ($10). If you want to spice things up, you can opt to add adzuki red beans for both green tea ice cream and black sesame ice cream. Conversely, those who prefer a healthier version of dessert can order the mixed fruits ($14).
