【Taipei Wanhua】Yu Teppanyaki
Looking for a small celebration for a little anniversary, I found this restaurant.
I have only tried omakase twice.
Previously, I ate at another teppanyaki place but the meal left a rather mediocre impression, with constant interruptions during eating and chatting.
However, at this place, apart from being seated and served, they don’t constantly disturb you.
So far, it’s the best value omakase I’ve tried, with a high cost-performance ratio.
The B set costs 1,880 NTD, differing mainly in the live Australian lobster.
Personally, I don’t mind, as long as it isn't unfresh.
I opted for the 1,380 NTD A set—it’s a great deal! You get to enjoy all the popular ingredients.
No service charge, with a dining time of two hours.
The pace of serving is just right, and you can sit for a while after finishing your meal.
You need to pay a 500 NTD deposit per person when booking.
They will call you the day before to inquire about the set you want.
On the day, payment is made table-side, using cash or full payment, but no credit cards accepted!
(Aside: The bowls and plates used to serve the food are very beautiful. I kept admiring them and wished to take them home.)

✨ Highly recommended
◽ A Set✨1,380 NTD/person
＞ Mullet Roe Salad: Served with apples to soften the saltiness of the mullet roe, making it a suitable appetizer.
＞ Seafood Clear Soup: Contains various seafood, shellfish, shrimp, and vegetables. The broth is fresh and sweet, which I like very much, though the geoduck was slightly chewy.
＞ Garlic Bread: It’s soft, warm garlic bread.
＞ Hairy Crab Steamed Egg: The egg served in a beautiful shell bowl is smooth, with strands of crab meat, okra slices, and baby corn. The base shows slight signs of being oversteamed.
＞ Japan Sashimi-grade Scallop: A large scallop! Pan-fried to the perfect doneness, not too raw or too dry, coupled with zucchini and garnished with salmon roe.
＞ Pan-fried Hiroshima Oyster: As a fan of raw oysters, I wasn’t initially excited about cooked oysters, but the Hollandaise sauce and slightly charred surface brought out the oyster’s freshness upon tasting!
＞ Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetables & Cod: Fish skin is pan-fried till crispy; fish meat melts in the mouth. The seasonal vegetables include greens and mushrooms, accompanied by salsa sauce.
＞ South African Live Abalone: Very much anticipated! The live abalone is fresh and large, easy to consume when cut into small pieces. Surprisingly juicy and not too chewy, with the truffle white sauce merely as a garnish, not overpowering its flavor.
＞ South American Lobster: Since the B set has live lobsters, this one might be frozen? After being grilled with cheese, the saltiness intensified slightly, but the texture was bouncy and delicious.
Plum vinegar was provided to cleanse the palate, but I suggest not drinking it all at once since it’s also needed after having the wagyu! (I drank it in one go, QQ)
＞ Japanese Wagyu (if you don’t eat beef, it can be substituted with pork or chicken in advance)
Heavily marbled, fried to a crisp but lacks meaty texture, with a predominant sense of fat. The sauce on the side which I assumed was tartar turned out to be garlic mousse🧄 with a creamy texture, strongly suggesting to eat together!
＞ Beef Tendon Fried Rice: Fried until slightly dry, with distinct grains, the beef tendon also tastes pretty dry. This dish is just okay in my opinion.
＞ Dessert: Dorayaki + Fruits + Unsweetened Tea
The chef prepares the dorayaki on-site, filled with sweet but not cloying red bean paste. The paired white dragon fruit was expected to be unsweetened but turned out to be as sweet as the red variety. Finally, a cup of unsweetened tea leaves you about 80% full.
