I had always admired "Ukaitei" and luckily I was invited by someone from work to go there. As we arrived in the car, the doorman opened the door for us, making us feel like royalty. The atmosphere inside the elegant mansion was modern and graceful, with a red carpet and a beautiful blue-themed counter seat area that resembled the seabed. We ordered the Special Course for 24,200 yen, which included various dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Each dish was prepared with skillful cooking techniques that enhanced the natural flavors of the ingredients. The Teppanyaki experience engaged all the senses, and every dish was delicious and impressive. The live abalone was steamed on the iron plate with rock salt, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. The Wagyu beef sirloin steak and fillet steak were both exquisite and flavorful, served with various condiments that complemented the meat perfectly. The meal ended with a delightful dessert of Dark Cherry Flambe with vanilla ice cream, which was a perfect conclusion to the satisfying dining experience. Overall, Ukaitei exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, elegant ambiance, and attentive staff. It was a memorable dining experience that I will cherish for a long time.

The restaurant felt like a separate space, almost like a Disney Land for dining. I was escorted by a waiter to the counter, walking on a red carpet. I had reserved the special lunch course and anniversary couple plan. The presentation and taste were both special. The homemade ginger ale was truly gingery! The sweetness of the pumpkin soup was like a dessert. The fish and meat were cooked perfectly. I personally love the sirloin. The homemade bread made with tofu, and the curry are a must-try. The dessert, especially the pudding, was amazingly delicious. They also provide a whole cake (seasonal mango cake) and a bouquet for special occasions, so I highly recommend celebrating your anniversary here.

It's a restaurant in the outskirts, so you need to drive there. The decor of Ukai-tei is always fantastic! It lifts your spirits. I've been to Omotesando and Ginza before, but this is my first time in Hachioji. The teppanyaki menu at Ukai-tei seems even more refined and sophisticated than before. They collaborate with ingredients like tofu and Ukai's specialties. I feel like I need to visit this constantly evolving restaurant again on a summer night.

Ukaitei is a spacious and impressive building located on a hill about a 10-minute taxi ride from Hachioji Station. I have been to their branches in Omotesando, Ginza, and Azamino, and whenever I visit Ukaitei, I feel like I am treated to a feast. They have many private teppanyaki rooms and a large staff. Reservations are a must. We started with a refreshing eel appetizer, followed by a perfect vichyssoise soup, and a Suzuki teppanyaki with tomato sauce that was finished right in front of us. The tofu bread was also delicious. The lamb and sirloin were cooked perfectly, with the lamb resembling roast beef. I chose garlic rice as a side, and there is also an option to add curry. For dessert, we moved to a lounge seat by the window with a view of greenery. We ordered a tea chiffon cake and a black cherry flambe that was prepared right in front of us, adding a touch of excitement to the meal. Ukaitei is perfect for special occasions or anniversaries. I look forward to visiting their Yokohama branch next time.

We visited for my father's 60th birthday celebration. We were guided to a private room and were able to spend a relaxing time with our family. The food was delicious, especially the corn potage from the summer menu. We all agreed that we must visit again. We had a wonderful time.

My wife and I went to Hachioji Ukai-tei for lunch on a weekday. We made a reservation online a few days ago, and although it was almost full during lunch hours, we managed to secure a reservation for 11:30. When we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and even held an umbrella for us as it was raining. We were seated at the counter and the chef greeted us before starting the meal. We had the weekday lunch course which included seasonal appetizers, soup, teppanyaki vegetables, Ukai special selected beef rump steak, rice with miso soup, dessert, and coffee. The appetizer was deep-fried conger eel with two different sauces. The seasonal soup was a variation of vichyssoise called Parissoise. The teppanyaki vegetables featured sautéed eggplant with minced meat and cheese on top. The beef rump steak was cooked rare and served with various condiments. For dessert, we moved to a window seat and enjoyed a seasonal melon dessert and a rich custard pudding. The coffee was strong and delicious, and the tea sweets were also well-prepared. The service was excellent and the overall experience was worth the price. I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited this restaurant for my husband's birthday lunch. The building was a renovated old folk house, which had a very charming atmosphere, and as soon as we entered, we could feel a sense of something special. The dishes were all delicious, and we were able to enjoy seasonal ingredients. Also, it was nice that we could move to a different table for dessert. We had ordered a birthday cake, but couldn't finish it, and we were touched when they provided us with a box for takeaway and a cooler bag.

Each store, including this one, has slight differences, which always gives a fresh and delightful experience. This time, I had the most wonderful time. The food is delicious, of course. The hospitality is top-notch. I usually have pudding for dessert, and the pudding at the Hachioji store is the richest and most velvety. It's incredibly delicious. Of course, desserts at other stores are also very tasty. I have visited all the Teppanyaki Ukaitei stores, and each one is fantastic, so I want to visit them all again in order.

Hachioji is not a place where you would expect to find such a famous restaurant like Yamada. No, it's not. The strongest restaurant in Hachioji. It's the Ukai Tei, which is responsible for special occasions. Located deep in the mountains of Takao, Ukai Toriyama is the main restaurant, specializing in teppanyaki. It's located very close to Hachioji Interchange, far from Toriyama. Nearby, there is the luxurious mansion of the most famous enka singer in Japan and also a well-known racehorse owner. I visited for a business dinner after a long time. It costs a little over 1000 yen by taxi from Hachioji Station. I have been to Ukai Tei in Ginza, Omotesando, and Hachioji. Personally, I like Toriyama and the tofu shop Ukai in Shibakoen. My first impression is that there are no bean sprouts on the teppanyaki, which I always associate with teppanyaki from my childhood. But they are not always included. Will they add them if requested? Jokes aside, the real first impression is the luxurious and extravagant furnishings and atmosphere of the restaurant. You can enjoy delicious food and teppanyaki in a luxurious setting. Overall, everything is always delicious, and I think it may be the best teppanyaki group in Japan. A little impression from the hero of Hachioji in the photos.

Hachioji is far away. Despite the distance, it actually helps create a sense of something out of the ordinary. After a long drive, when you finally arrive, you are greeted with a luxurious spacious property that is only possible because of how far it is from the city center. The vast building offers a relaxed atmosphere. This adds to the sense of being in a different world. The food is top-notch, of course. The whole situation is just fantastic.

*Hachioji Ukai-tei Course: 13,200 yen Located up a narrow hill from Hachioji Station, this restaurant is known for its top-notch teppanyaki cuisine. The impressive exterior and Christmas illuminations create a captivating entrance. Inside, the decor blends Japanese and Western styles, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. The attentive and exceptional service added to the overall experience. At the circular open counter, a dedicated chef prepares each dish with care. Starting with seasonal appetizers, the course progresses through vegetable dishes, seafood, and meat. While there were no standout dishes, the overall quality was consistent, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients. A standout was the seafood dish featuring thread-sail filefish, complemented by sautéed mushrooms, vegetables, and sauce, creating a harmonious balance. The meat dishes included lamp and sirloin, offering various ways to enjoy them, such as with onions and fresh pepper, ensuring a satisfying meal. After finishing, we moved to another table for tea time. The Mont Blanc dessert exceeded expectations, showcasing exceptional quality. Although I had never purchased cakes from Atelier Ukai before, I will definitely try them next time. As it was a special occasion, we received a gift of roses and a commemorative photo, adding a thoughtful touch to the excellent service throughout. This restaurant is perfect for celebrations like anniversaries or birthdays! <Course Contents> - Surf clam and grilled vegetable salad - Grilled red eggplant - Thread-sail filefish, mushrooms - Tofu bread - Sirloin, lamp - Garlic rice - Mont Blanc, macaron, sweet potato and apple cookies

Parking: The parking lot is far from the station, which is inconvenient, but not a problem if you have a car. The parking lot is spacious and easy to park. Interior: Despite the impression from reviews that the interior was cluttered, it was actually well-organized in a Taisho modern style, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Menu: It was strange to be told that if two people went, they could only choose the same menu. It might be more profitable to have one person choose a more expensive course rather than both choosing a cheaper one. The dishes were well presented and the soup was served piping hot, which was impressive. Food: The meat dishes included tender sirloin and lamb, accompanied by various spices for a flavorful experience. The pepper was especially delicious. The garlic rice was light and not overpowering. Tableware: The restaurant pays attention to tableware, using elegant plates for serving meat and high-quality brands for tea and dessert. Drinks: The drinks complemented the food well, but it would be nice to have more options like mildly carbonated sweet cocktails. Dessert: There were two types of desserts, baked and fresh. The honey on the waffle had a unique flavor, and the Mont Blanc dessert was light and subtly flavored. Overall: The atmosphere, service, interior, and food were all satisfying. Personal suggestions for improvement include adding more cocktail options and using more alcohol in desserts, but these are subjective preferences.

The restaurant that the president took me to for a wedding celebration was truly amazing. The place was very elegant and sophisticated, far beyond any restaurant I had been to before. The atmosphere and interior design were top-notch, with a retro yet classy feel. We were seated in a private room with a personal chef who entertained us with delightful conversations while preparing our meals. After finishing our meal, we moved to the second floor, which had an open layout and a cozy sofa where we enjoyed dessert and drinks. The whole experience felt like being treated like royalty, especially when we received a gift from the restaurant and had our photo taken as a memento. The impeccable service and refined ambiance of the restaurant left a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to bring my parents here next time.

When it comes to dining in Hachioji, Ukai-tei is the first place that comes to mind! So my wife and I decided to go there! Of course, we made a reservation! We had the special lunch menu, I think? We used Google Maps set on Tabelog to get there, but it led us to a different location and we arrived just in time for our reservation! Be careful, everyone! The building is very luxurious, so we had high expectations! The service was like that of a hotel, top-notch! The service was impeccable. It felt like a true Japanese experience! The food was good overall, but the meat selection wasn't quite to my taste. However, all the dishes were delicious and met my expectations. The dessert after the meal was lovely, including the atmosphere! The service was excellent, so I think it would be a good place to come for my wife's birthday! It could also be a great place for entertaining guests!

In a relaxed atmosphere, the sound of other diners' voices was barely audible. The food was delicious as always. The chef seemed a bit inexperienced, but it was charming. We added an extra dessert and enjoyed three different kinds between the two of us. We also bought some cookies from the bakery, which was a lucky find.

I visited Hachioji Ukai-tei for the first time. This time, it was a visit to celebrate my partner's birthday. We opted for the special lunch course with the Anniversary Couple Plan added. Our server was a young and refreshing individual. We started with three types of appetizers, followed by a cold pumpkin soup. The main course was a 100g serving of sirloin and lamb, with the option to change the rice to curry for an additional fee. For dessert, we had freshly baked waffles and iced coffee. The flavors were as expected and enjoyable. However, there were some points about the service that bothered me... 1. After finishing our toast drinks, the server did not ask if we wanted another drink. 2. There was no mention of the QR code for checking in on the Ukai-tei app. As a result, we left without checking in. 3. The server engaged in various conversations with the neighboring customers, making us feel like regulars were treated differently. 4. When presenting the flowers included in the Anniversary Plan, the server simply said, "From the restaurant." In other establishments, they would say, "From your husband," which lacked consistency. 5. When taking the cake from the Anniversary Plan to go, we were not asked about the amount of dry ice needed. We later had to purchase more. Despite a bill of around 30,000 yen, I don't mind paying a service charge as long as the service matches the price. I may or may not return in the future, but this time, I left feeling a bit disappointed. Thank you for the meal.

On May 2022, we had a family gathering for a memorial service and had lunch at "Hachioji Ukai-tei". This restaurant is part of the Ukai group, known for its teppanyaki cuisine under the "Ukai-tei" brand. Having enjoyed the "Tofuya Ukai" brand before, we decided to give this place a try. Located atop a hill in Hachioji, the restaurant offers a great view and an elegant atmosphere that creates a sense of luxury. We opted for the special lunch course and I chose a Hildon sparkling water to drink, considering the driver and my wife who is breastfeeding. Although the Queen Elizabeth, who was alive at the time of our visit, was known to love this sparkling water, it was a mild and pleasant drink with fine bubbles. The course included appetizers, a cold onion espuma soup, grilled thick eggplant and lobster, and a meat dish, all of which were luxurious and delicious. The bread served seemed to be from "Tofuya Ukai", and the fluffy soy milk bread showcased a synergy within the group. And Ukai is known for its delicious desserts as well. We moved to a separate floor for a leisurely tea time where we ordered different desserts like pudding, waffles, and mochi sweets to share and enjoy together. It was a fun experience unique to dining with a large group. For a post-meal drink, I chose the Hachioji iced coffee, made with water from Mt. Fuji and roasted deeply, which was my favorite type with a strong bitterness. Although it may not be a place you can easily visit, the wonderful ambiance created a sense of luxury and made the experience special. Being part of the Ukai group, the quality, service, and cleanliness were all top-notch. It was the perfect restaurant for a family gathering. Highly recommended.

It was a great restaurant as rumored. The flow from the facade to the garden, the stylish glass door at the entrance, and of course the interior were all lovely, and the staff were pretty friendly. We went with four people and they provided us with a private half-room for four people and served us the dishes. We chose the standard course, but it was delicious and enjoyable enough. The most memorable part was the condiments for the steak, especially the salted raw pepper and miso with green chili. The dishes themselves were delicious as expected for the price, but the high quality of the small condiments stood out.

- Location: 10 minutes by car from Hachioji Station North Exit - Awarded as one of the top 100 steak and teppanyaki restaurants in 2022 - Purpose: Dinner for a special occasion - Price: 15,000 yen to 20,000 yen - Overview and impression: I visited Ukai-tei for a special occasion while staying in the Hachioji area. Having visited Ukai-tei in Ginza every year, I had high expectations for the exceptional hospitality. Despite the rain, the staff came to greet us at our car with an umbrella. The hospitality was amazing from the start! Just like in Ginza, each group is assigned a chef who prepares all the dishes in front of you on the teppan. The dinner, accompanied by conversations with the chef, created a sense of exclusivity. Every course was of high quality with no disappointments. The dessert, which we had to move seats for, was incredibly delicious. I was pleasantly surprised. A course that doesn't overlook even the dessert. Truly a top-class restaurant. I will definitely visit again for another special occasion. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
