Benihana
A firm favourite of the Abu Dhabi Week team, the only way to get the full Benihana experience is at the teppanyaki station, where a meal is much more than just food – it’s a gastronomic performance.

Kazu
One of the newer additions to the ever-expanding Japanese dining scene, Kazu in the Yas Hotel has teppan chefs to rival any in the capital. The food isn’t half bad either, which explains why it has become so popular. Ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Taiki
If you’re after an authentic Japanese experience, then look no further than Taiki at the Al Ain Palace Hotel. One of the few restaurants in Abu Dhabi to employ an actual Japanese chef, the teppanyaki served up at the stylish hexagonal station is both traditional and tasty.
