Teppanyaki is a magical culinary experience, where the sizzling sounds, tantalizing aromas, and steaming hot dishes served straight from the iron griddle bring an unparalleled sense of happiness. In the latest episode of the Food Tales podcast, we’ve selected four must-try teppanyaki restaurants, each with its own unique charm and highlights, guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds!
Hao Pin Teppanyaki
Hao Pin Teppanyaki is renowned for its excellent delivery service and generous portions, making it easy to enjoy sizzling hot delicacies even on busy days. The must-try dish here is their Teppanyaki Beef Tenderloin. The beef is cut into perfectly bite-sized pieces, with a lightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Paired with their special savory sauce and poured over a bowl of rice, every bite brings pure happiness. If you’re a rice lover, the beef tenderloin here will undoubtedly have you reaching for a second (or third) bowl!
What’s even more impressive is Hao Pin’s thoughtful delivery packaging. They use double-layered containers with the main dish on the top and vegetables and rice at the bottom, keeping all the ingredients fresh and ensuring flavors don’t mix. The vegetable selection varies frequently, including options like stir-fried cabbage, bean sprouts, and even water spinach, making each order a delightful surprise. These vegetables are expertly stir-fried on the teppan, retaining their crisp texture and absorbing just the right amount of seasoning, making them the perfect companion to the rice.
In addition to the delicious food, Hao Pin’s attentive service further elevates the experience. Their delivery ensures the food arrives at just the right temperature, even on a chilly winter day, as if it had just been served straight from the kitchen. For those who prefer staying cozy at home without sacrificing the warmth and flavor of freshly prepared food, this is a game-changer.

Mu Teppanyaki
Mu Teppanyaki stands out as a truly unique restaurant, combining a vibrant, energetic ambiance with delicious teppanyaki dishes to create a completely different dining experience. With colorful lighting and upbeat music gently flowing in the background, every meal here feels like a lively party. It’s the perfect spot for young diners seeking something fresh and exciting.
The menu at Mu Teppanyaki isn’t just visually appealing—it’s equally delightful for your taste buds. Two highly recommended dishes are the basa fish and salmon. The basa fish boasts a soft and tender texture, while the salmon is rich with its natural, delicate fattiness. Cooked over a high-temperature iron griddle, both dishes achieve a slightly crispy exterior while remaining juicy and flavorful inside. Every bite melts in your mouth. These dishes are especially ideal for those who dislike bony or shredded meats, as each piece is cut into just the right size for easy eating.
Another highlight is their stir-fried vegetables. Each portion is cooked to perfection, maintaining a crisp, fresh texture. A touch of spicy seasoning adds a delightful kick that enhances the overall flavor. Whether as a side dish or paired with a main, these vegetables are a must-try.
But the surprises don’t end there!

It’s a fun and sweet way to wrap up your meal, and the flavors are changed regularly to keep things exciting.
Dining at Mu Teppanyaki is a feast for both the senses and the palate.

🕰️Opening Hours: Monday–Sunday, 11:00 AM–2:00 AM
Tai Hong Teppanyaki
Tai Hong Teppanyaki may be slightly off the beaten path, but its thoughtfully crafted dishes and attentive service make it well worth the trip. Two standout highlights here are the creamy cabbage and the Teppanyaki tofu—both are absolute must-tries!
Let’s start with the creamy cabbage. Unlike the usual garlic stir-fry seen at most Teppanyaki spots, Tai Hong adds a special twist by incorporating butter into their cabbage. The rich buttery aroma blends perfectly with the natural sweetness of the cabbage, creating a dish that feels like a true indulgence. Paired with a bowl of rice, this side dish could easily take center stage on your plate.
The Teppanyaki tofu is another showstopper. Each piece is pan-fried to golden perfection, achieving a crispy exterior while maintaining a silky, tender interior. Every bite offers a delightful contrast of textures, with the subtle smokiness from the grill complementing the tofu’s natural creaminess. Even those who typically aren’t fans of tofu might find themselves converted after tasting this dish!
For mains, the pan-seared chicken thigh is a crowd favorite. Cooked to a perfect crisp on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside, it pairs beautifully with a light seaweed soup. Together, they create a hearty and satisfying meal, especially during the colder months.
Tai Hong’s attention to detail is also reflected in their customization options. For instance, diners can choose whether or not to add butter to their dishes, ensuring that each meal aligns perfectly with personal preferences. This level of care and consideration truly elevates the dining experience, making every guest feel welcome and catered to.

Liao Tie Ge Teppanyaki
Liao Tie Ge Teppanyaki is beloved for its high-value set meals and wide variety of options, earning its place as a hidden gem for many foodies. Among their offerings, the “豪氣套餐” (Generous Set) is a standout. Priced at just NT$270, it includes a main dish, two sides, and a small dish, providing not only generous portions but also an impressive range of choices.
In terms of sides, the Teppanyaki tofu, king oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms are particularly popular. The king oyster mushrooms offer a smooth yet slightly chewy texture, enhanced by the smoky char from the grill, making them delicious on their own or as a topping for rice. Enoki mushrooms, with their delicate fibrous texture, deliver a natural sweetness that adds depth to any meal.
One of the most surprising and creative options on their menu is their stir-fried instant noodles. The noodles are cooked on the Teppanyaki grill with a combination of meat and seafood, resulting in a flavorful and hearty dish packed with fresh ingredients. It’s an unexpected yet brilliant addition that many diners rave about.
To top it off, Liao Tie Ge also features a self-service bar offering a variety of drinks and a rich miso soup. This thoughtful addition ensures that every meal feels complete. For those who love generous portions and exceptional value, Liao Tie Ge Teppanyaki is a spot you absolutely must visit!
