櫻五 鐵板燒

Taipei Beitou - Local affordable teppanyaki, the vegetables are slightly oily and rather ordinary, but the chicken thigh steak is cooked quite well! You can request more rice, but you need to let the staff know proactively!

📍 Pan-fried Chicken Thigh Set NT$220
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘
The chicken skin is crispy, which is a plus. It is topped with chopped scallions and garlic slices, and there's pepper sauce at the bottom for dipping. Highly recommended to order this!

📍 Teppanyaki Lamb NT$180
🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Honestly, it’s quite ordinary, nothing special about it, and the sauce is a bit thick. (The slices of lamb seem to be composite meat)

📍 Set Menu with Two Portions of Vegetables
The cabbage and bean sprouts are very average, lacking garlic flavor. The portions are also a bit small.

📍 Soup, Side Dish, and Drink
The drink is a common kind of nostalgic sweetened black tea, and the side dish is a special cold seaweed salad. The soup is radish soup, which is quite plain and lacks flavor.

📍 Nine-layer Egg NT$50
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
The egg is cooked quite well! The portion should be two eggs!

▶️ Environment
🔹 There are not many seating options indoors; all are bar stools facing the teppan (can seat about 10 people).
🔹 Overall, it’s not very clean, but there is grease along the edges of the tables and teppans.
🔹 After entering the restaurant, you will be served soup and black tea.
🔹 Cutlery is provided, and there are tissues in the drawer.

▶️ Helpful Reminder
🔹 Payment can be made using Taiwan Pay.
🔹 If you want more rice, please proactively tell the staff! It’s not self-service.

▶️ Overall Evaluation
🔹 The price is not too expensive but also not very cheap; it falls within a mid-range affordable category. The vegetable portions are small and tend to be oily. I feel the quality is slightly less than that of Dapu Teppanyaki. The teppan is not very clean and has grease.
