Osaka, Japan｜teppanyaki Hikari

Delightful surprise of a meal. Saw this well-reviewed teppanyaki restaurant on Google Maps and decided to try it instead of the other more touristy ones. A decision we did not regret. Ambience was impeccable, service attentive and polite, and the food was flawlessly executed and well portioned. All of that for a very reasonable price well under $75 each. Highly recommended and will definitely return again.

Definitely worth every single cent spent. Great fresh lobsters grilled on the smokeless teppan right in front of you, and sufficient 120g beef sirloin or tenderloin grilled to your choice of wellness. Not like those restaurant where u pay so much and get no impressive materials, this teppan house really provides you a great Japanese teppan experience with the best material u could ever ask for.

Though the lobster was the star of the show, it was the Wagyu beef that left the most lasting impression on me. I've never tasted Wagyu beef this delicious before, and I realized that the term "melt-in-your-mouth" isn't reserved just for describing marshmallows. All the courses were incredibly tasty, so much so that I couldn't help but jokingly ask my boyfriend, "Can I lick the plate? Haha."
