TEPPAN KU-YA

Randomly picked a restaurant for my family trip. I didn’t expect as a semi- fine dining. Services is good. English of the waitress is extraordinary good. I am sorry that missing the details of a compulsory set for the parties made reservations. I am fine with a set though some of the family members are less demanding on the food. Luckily all dishes portion are just in size. From the appetiser to dessert, we are all satisfied with the presentation, mix of ingredients & of course the taste. With the price of the set, I am highly recommend all the people who will come to Okayama for a trip, please come & enjoy the excellent food with Teppan Ku Ya. Hope (they) will see you soon!

They definitely deserve higher than 5 stars for the service! The hospitality was really friendly and sincere. Everyone had a genuine smile when talking to us. We even received a thank you card with origami when we left!! We ordered the dinner sets. There were so many courses. The food was more than expected. They serve Chiyagyu as one of the main courses. Perhaps it’s because I don’t know much about wagyu, but I think it was not really impressive. The most surprising dish of the set was the dessert, which was a baked cheese cake with grapes and blueberry sauce. Not too sweet and with a pleasant milky flavour. I really love it!

I was sat at the bar and made a reservation via the hotel. The staff were very friendly and tentative. It was appreciate they made every effort to speak English with me as a foreigner. The food was very tasty (I had the set menu) and there was enough of it to make you full! Overall great place at a reasonable price for the quality.

We ordered the Chiya set menu and it was amazing! The staffs were very friendly and the Chiya steak itself was perfect. We wish we had more room to try out other food on the menu

Several weeks before my trip, I came across Teppan Ku-ya in reviews as I really wanted to try Okayama chiya beef. On my first night, I had the Chiya Course for dinner. Placing my order was easy as they provided an English menu and the staff spoke English. I was floored by the quality, portion and attention to detail given to each dish. Having had a coffee and dessert a few hours just before my meal, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to finish my food. The moment I took the first bite of the appetizer, my stomach felt lighter and my appetite whetted. From the refreshingly zesty salad to the scrumptiously grilled prawn with bacon to the mildly singed yet bursting with flavour chiya steak to the last slice of pound cake, the chef really made it so difficult to choose a favourite dish. Did I mention my plates were clean and free of any morsel of food when I was done? Halfway through my meal, I told myself I have to come here at least one more time before I return. And so I did on my last night, this time ordering 200g of that oh-so-good chiya steak, together with a yuzu mixer, which I found excellent as I’m not much of a drinker, and finally topping it off with their highly popular black sesame ice cream. Photos alone won’t do justice to the delicious food served at this fine establishment. The price, portion and quality is really hard to beat. As I have expressed to the chef and his team, I feel so incredibly lucky to have dined there. Now that I’m back in Singapore, I am so glad I have wonderful memories of not one but two heartfelt and sincere dining experiences at Teppan Ku-ya. Truly one of the highlights of my trip to Japan, and my first time in the beautiful city of Okayama.

This was our first time to try Chiya beef which is supposedly homegrown in Okayama. We had the dinner course and it was worth every yen. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. If you’re ever in Okayama, please stop by. Reservation in advance is highly recommended.

Great people, good atmosphere, average beef. Unfortunately the main problem was the chiya beef in the set menu (we had two steaks with different doneness). Both steaks were really disappointing because they didn’t have much beef flavour and had such normal texture. It resembled an inexpensive steak bought from a supermarket, didn’t taste like restaurant quality. Chiya beef is not special at all. The male chef was really welcoming and thanked us dearly. The female chef served wonderful bakery-esque cheesecake which was the highlight of the dinner set, without a doubt. The servers were full of energy and joy. It’s a shame the steak was so ordinary. I would advise the hard working chefs/owners to change the menu if possible for the sake of their restaurant.

We are so glad we found this place, we had the best meal of our Japan trip at this cute restaurant. The chef and staff are so attentive and friendly. The Chiba steak and takoyaki are a must try! Vegetarian friendly dishes such as the salad, grilled veg and noodles were amazing. Drinks selection and draft beer were 10/10

Seriously great food. I got the 8 course set menu for 6,00 yen(ish) and it's worth it for the wagyu steak alone :) Really sweet and attentive service, intimately sized with belly up seating to see the teppan chef in action. Full bar with basic cocktails (G&T, moscow mules) and nice Japanese whiskey (Hibiki and Yamazaki). Great dinner spot. Do it.
