Hong Kong Food Exploration: Akita Teppanyaki & Sashimi Specialty Restaurant in Wan Chai

After a Sunday shopping spree in Causeway Bay, we headed to Akita Teppanyaki & Sashimi Specialty Restaurant to wrap up a perfect weekend. The restaurant features elegant Japanese-style decor with soft lighting, offering separate teppanyaki and sushi bar seating areas. The spacious layout ensures a comfortable dining experience. Sitting at the teppanyaki table and watching the chef cook live adds a sense of excitement. We opted for the "Akita Set for Two," which includes lobster, foie gras, and Wagyu beef—perfect for our taste. 🥗 Seasonal Salad Fresh and crisp with a simple combination of radish slices, corn, konjac strips, and lettuce, topped with Japanese-style dressing for a refreshing start. 🍮 Foie Gras & Fish Roe Steamed Egg The steamed egg is silky smooth, featuring tender foie gras and garnished with black fish roe. The flavor is rich yet not overwhelming, offering a delightful balance of savory and slightly sweet notes. 🦞 Fresh Seasonal Lobster The live lobster is grilled and served immediately, with its bouncy texture placed atop buttery toast, adding an extra layer of deliciousness. 🐚 Whole Fresh South African Abalone The abalone is expertly scored and pan-seared to a slight char, releasing a subtle black pepper aroma. Paired with creamy seaweed sauce, it offers a smooth yet springy texture—a thoughtful dish. 🐟 Seasonal Seafood This dish features seared scallops topped with yuzu pepper sauce and fish roe, delivering a mildly spicy and refreshing taste. Wrapped in a large sheet of seaweed, it’s crispy and flavorful. 🥩 Pan-Seared Premium Foie Gras The foie gras is seared to a golden crust while maintaining a tender center. Decorated with gold leaf and fish roe for a luxurious presentation, it’s served on crispy toast that absorbs the foie gras oils, reducing greasiness. 🥩 Kagoshima Marbled Wagyu Thick Cut/Thin Roll The thick-cut Wagyu is seared to perfection, offering a firm yet tender texture with rich marbling. Each bite is full of beefy goodness. Pair it with wasabi, garlic slices, rock salt, or salted kombu for a satisfying experience. 🍳 Akita Fried Rice The fried rice is dry and well-cooked with a smoky wok aroma. Enhanced with sakura shrimp and scallions, it offers a layered texture and flavor. 🍲 Lobster Clear Soup Made by simmering lobster shells, the soup is clear yet flavorful with a hint of sweetness, providing a warm and comforting finish. 🍨 Selected Desserts Desserts include dorayaki paired with ice cream. Tonight’s flavors were matcha and black sesame. The dorayaki is soft, with red bean filling that’s not overly sweet—just the right portion for a satisfying end to the meal.
