It is impossible to imagine authentic Japanese cuisine without teppanyaki – those massive griddles and quick movements of skilled chefs offer not just a dinner but a culinary experience for all senses!
If you love Japanese food and would like to enjoy the real teppanyaki, here are teh best teppanyaki restaurants in Bali.
We made sure to include a few venues in popular areas around the island, from Canggu to Uluwatu.
Our Favourite Authentic Teppanyaki Restaurants In Bali
Shima Teppanyaki, Seminyak
For proper entertainment and high-quality food, Shima is one of the best teppanyaki spots in Seminyak. They have the main area and private dining rooms (best for a group of friends).
There will be flames, a showcase of cooking skills, and, of course, perfectly cooked seafood or meat that melts in your mouth!
The highlights on the menu for us were locally sourced lobster, prawns, and squid! If you want something more familiar, they make delicious steak with Australian Wagyu beef.
Check their website for All You Can Eat promos and updated opening hours.

Rayjin Teppanyaki, Seminyak
Cozy, traditional-style Japanese restaurant with stylish interiors and delicious food you can indulge in. Gyutan Fried Rice, Truffle Mushroom Pork Chop, and teppan bowls with rice are incredibly tasty.
Rayjin has two more restaurants you can visit, one in Jimbaran and one in Ubud. They are the busiest in the evening, so book your table in advance.

Tenkai Japanese Nikkei Restaurant, Legian
Tenkai is a kid-friendly restaurant at Padma Legian Resort taking up a bold mission – to blend Japanese and Peruvian cuisines (such a blend and Japanese descendants settled in Peru are called Nikkei).
Opened only for dinner, the restaurant’s Teppan (griddle) counters get filled up quickly, so you have to reserve. The chefs work quickly, just like in Japan, and surprise their guests with the best flavours, flips, teppan art, and tricks.
There are 3 teppanyaki experiences you can choose from, each with some veggie side, seafood, and meat dishes. Our favourite one is the Unokai, hands down. Kids have their own 5-course menu, too!

Bluefin Japanese Fusion & Teppanyaki, Kuta
The OG sushi and teppanyaki restaurant in Bali with teppanyaki tables for groups and a more private area for romantic dinners.
You can pick whatever you want to be cooked on the teppan a la carte, or order one of the crafted sets. The prices for sets are very affordable, starting from about 300,000 IDR (30 AUD).
For drinks, they make soju cocktails and offer beers and wine by the glass.

Rokkyu Teppanyaki, Kuta
Enjoy the show while the chef cooks your food and plays with flames right in front of you. As it is an oceanfront venue, we suggest sitting outside for dinner to catch the sunset and live music.
Food-wise, we think beef with grilled veggies is a staple here, but you can also try lobster or prawns. For special occasions like birthdays, the team will happily arrange a small cake.

Mori Teppanyaki, Ubud
Mori is a luxurious restaurant just in the centre of Ubud, and will be an amazing spot for dinner. The chefs introduce seasonal local ingredients into Japanese cuisine and bring meats and seafood from Japan and the waters around Bali.
The teppanyaki counter only seats 10 people, and you will have a really private and exclusive dining experience at Mori.
Our favourite set here is the one with Japanese A5 Wagyu as the main dish.

Shichirin, Canggu
An upscale Japanese restaurant specialising in teppanyaki, izakaya-style dishes, and Gyukatsu (breaded fried meats).
You will find classic dishes on the menu with seafood, meat, and fresh vegetables, as well as some fusion ideas, like beef tartar in taco shells. We loved Gyu Katsu Wagyu and the scallops appetiser.
Shichirin also has branches in Ubud and Seminyak.

KO Restaurant, Jimbaran
Hidden within the Intercontinental Resort, KO is an upscale teppanyaki restaurant with 5-star service and exquisite dishes.
For a teppanyaki experience, you will be seated around the counter and served each dish after the chef cooks it right in front of you.
The dishes just kept coming, and the course menu includes soup, appetisers, seafood, fish, and meat dishes with a side of rice and a dessert.

Honzen, Uluwatu
Honzen is a great Japanese restaurant with omakase and teppanyaki-style menus. The teppanyaki area is separated from the omakase dining, so you will have to choose which one you prefer.
We agree with all the reviews – wagyu beef and lobster are absolutely amazing at Honzen. But if you want something unique, try kimchi pork or dry-aged fish.

Nagisa Izakaya Bali, Benoa
Premium izakaya and Japanese restaurant in Benoa, within the hotel complex by the beach.
The team is happy to invite you to a teppanyaki show, serve you traditional rice bowls or Japanese pub-style snacks. The menu also has sake and cocktails.
The Teppanyaki Omakase course menu is extremely affordable – only 700,000 IDR (70 AUD) before taxes, and it comes with numerous small plates and mains, plus delicious tempura ice cream! There are also even cheaper set menus.

Papa Lee’s Teppanyaki Steak House, Seminyak
Papa Lee’s is an ultra-popular family-owned dining venue with a great choice of food from teppanyaki to dumplings. And this place is truly unique as they do not serve Japanese cuisine, but Taiwanese-style teppanyaki.
If you come here, you have to try their steaks and beef noodles – a perfect balance of flavours and textures. The prices are closer to upper-tier restaurants.

Kagura, Nusa Dua
At Kagura, you can savour any Japanese cuisine you like, from hearty creamy ramen soups to Robatayaki (fire-grilled skewers) and Teppanyaki dishes cooked at your table.
They serve Japanese beers and sake, too, for a complete immersion into traditional flavours. The teppan-cooked set menu here is not the cheapest – around 1,000,000 IDR (100 AUD) per person.

Genji, Nusa Dua
Genji is a lesser-known teppanyaki restaurant in Nusa Dua with amazing shows and a laid-back atmosphere.
The culinary skills of all the chefs are top-notch; everything on the tasting menu, from miso soup to tempura and teppan-fried rice, tastes delicious, but the highlight is probably the seafood set with lobster and shrimp.
Make sure to try all the sauces, they really bring out more flavour! For vegetarians, this is probably the only teppanyaki restaurant in Bali with a special plant-based set.

Hamabe, Nusa Dua
Last but not least, a top-tier Japanese cuisine restaurant at the Westin Resort in Nusa Dua – Hamabe.
Talented teppanyaki chefs here can make you anything you like, from a plate of thick slices of sashimi to classic teppanyaki meals, or you can order a shabu-shabu experience and enjoy it at your private table.
Beef and seafood are great, but we actually liked the teppanyaki chicken with rice here the most. Make sure to save some space for their signature banana flambé dessert!
