Ukai-tei Kaohsiung - Qianzhen District

Meticulous and precise in execution, this gastronomical treat is not to be missed of you are here in Kaohsiung, Taiwan! This is the Taiwanese branch of the famous, Michelin starred Ukai Group, the only teppanyaki restaurant to receive such recognition. From the grand entrance at the lobby where you are greeted by their staff, to the elegant elevators, to the lavishly decorated dining area, everything is carefully arranged to ensure an out of this world experience. The food, naturally, is top quality with ingredients sources globally, including bamboo shoots from Holland and olive oil from Italy, etc. The sirloin and tenderloin Kobe beef were out of this world. Perfectly done. Lobster soup was just brilliant. Presentation was elegant and lavish. The appetizers were all very special in their own way. Towards the end, a very simple fried rice (using special Japanese rice) with nothing else added other than a little bit of soy sauce, little bit of garlic, and the white rice turns into a smoky, sticky, ever so tasty bowl of fried rice - strangely probably the best part of this amazing meal. Yes, a plain bowl of fried white rice. It's that good. Earl Grey cake and tiramisu at their dessert/afternoon tea area to finish off this fabulous experience. 10 stars, highly recommended!

What an eating adventure and extravaganza! Our creative and experienced chefs made each of the seven courses delicious and the presentations beautiful! The restaurant is found in the Silks Club hotel. You will also love the excellent service!

Very impressive experience, Sharon served us with professional and touched introduction for every single dish. Thanks for Chef Yuki to make us have a tremendous dinner here! Highly recommended!

Had a very nice meal here with possibly the steak I've had in Taiwan. Very professional and well trained staff makes this restaurant stand out, beyond just the food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service with equally fantastic cuisine. I tried both the Kaiseki side (dinner set) and the teppanyaki meal (lunch set). Would highly recommend to anyone visiting KS. I would also like to praise our server’s wonderful dinner service making our stay at the Silks Hotel even more wonderful. Thank you for the great experience! I would definitely come back again!

The food was incredible, and the service was impressive. You are enjoying both the food and the environment there. Worth every penny I do wish, however, that the chef and the waiters can introduce the food from different angles. That way, I wouldn’t need to hear the same thing twice

Awesome cuisines and great and professional service. The seafood was quite fresh and delicious, and the wagyu was super tender and not too greasy. It was the best teppanyaki I’ve ever had.

Perfect place to celebrate with your loved ones. Meticulous service- the service is incredible. From before you enter the Silk hotel, they remind you of the stairs, they push the chairs in for you every time you come back to your seat, the story and introduction to every dish, really makes this place special. The employees are trained to be very ninja like, extremely well mannered, and we don’t even notice when they refill our water, or show up behind us because they’re so quiet. Amazing quality of food- everything was cooked so perfectly, and well seasoned. We ordered the wagyu rump and the tenderloin. Highly recommend to just go for the tenderloin if you’re ordering beef. It melts in your mouth. Even when I asked mine to be cooked well done, and it still taste juices, tender, and incredible. They accommodate all your dietary needs on top of that! Safe environment - very happy to have gaps between each group even tho we’re seated around the grill, so we’re not too close to other people, and feel safe while dining.
