About Wagyu Ya Teppanyaki 和牛屋

High-marbled Wagyu meets playful hot-plate theatre inside The Glen, turning milestone dinners into relaxed celebrations. Longtime regulars treat the counter as an annual fixture—drawn by chefs who juggle precise knife work with personalized salt drawings right across the steel. Set menus deliver a steady rhythm: searing cuts of A5 and M9+ beef, delicate sashimi, and fresh teppan abalone. The kitchen leans into savoury contrasts, pairing rich fat with house-grated wasabi and garlic chips, followed by bowls of fried rice carrying distinct wok hey. For quieter family gatherings, secluded private dining rooms keep the grill-side spectacle close without the main-room buzz.

  • Tabletop Salt Art: Chefs personalize birthday and anniversary meals with celebratory illustrations and handwritten notes crafted in salt directly on the hot plate.
  • High-Grade Wagyu & Seafood: Multi-course sets feature A5 Matsusaka and M9+ Wagyu alongside live abalone, finished with freshly grated wasabi and crisp garlic chips.
  • Private Dining Rooms: Dedicated private rooms give groups and families a secluded teppan grill session away from the open counter.

  • Meticulously Searing M9+ & A5 Wagyu

    Multi-course teppanyaki menus highlight rare full-blood M9+ and A5 Wagyu beef cooked with precise technique so the rich intramuscular marbling melts instantly.

    The full-blood M9+ Wagyu was incredibly tender and juicy — perfectly cooked and full of flavour. You could really taste the quality of the beef.

  • Pristine Teppan-Seared Abalone and Seafood

    Beyond premium beef, the grill sets feature premium live seafood such as abalone cooked alongside real freshly grated wasabi and rich accompaniments.

    We ordered the set menu and added an abalone, which was incredibly fresh (still moving when served).

    Dedicated private dining suites provide an exclusive teppan counter where family groups and parties can celebrate milestones away from the communal dining floor.

    We went to the restaurant to celebrate a birthday the other day, and were seated in the private dining room. Chef Chen really made the whole experience memorable, it was truly a treat.

  • Intimate Ambiance for Milestones

    Weekday visits offer a serene, intimate escape with subdued lighting and tranquil soundscapes ideal for couple celebrations and milestone gatherings.

    Highly recommended to come on weekdays early evening just before the normal dinner time started, as the ambience, music and lightly dimmed lightning enhances the quiet dining experience. Perfect for intimate dining with your loved ones.
