In Tokyo and found one of the best teppanyaki restaurants that cook up amazing lobster and steak then off to a local Japanese buffet that has some fantastic prime rib and sushi!
Restaurants I went to: TEPPANYAKI 10 STEAK & LOBSTER(鉄板焼 10 ステーキ&ロブスター) SLOPE SIDE DINER ZAKURO Buffet&Café
Teppanyaki 10 steak and lobster
Starting out today at this really amazing teppanyaki place. This is near Ginza
You walk along the train and there's this tunnel full of restaurants a lot of seafood places in this place
Look how delicious everything is cooked right in front of you. A course meal usually comes with seafood
Lobster steak you start off with a salad fresh lobster on top piece of tuna avocados peppers
Even the dressing has a ton of brininess in it all the seafood fresh as they come
This is delicious
Actually, it's so fatty. This whole salad with the creamy avocado and the sweet lobster with a little bit of pepper, which is perfect
Pretty sure this dressing has lobster in there too
They just brought the steak out. A fillet and a sirloin both look really marbled and thick. The fillet
It looks like has a bit more marbling. Next course cup of uni
It's a little sweet. There's custard in here. Very creamy
Mixed with a sweet creamy uni
Fish liver
With Japanese pickle. Oh that's creamy
Oyster with peppercorn
Oyster perfectly seared. Got a really creamy sauce and you get a nice crunch from the peppercorn. It's a delicious oyster
Wow, that was a 10 out of 10
Real giant prawns
Mmm with a ton of garlic
So they break down the lobster and this is the lobster claw inside. Thin fried noodles
You get some asparagus
Subtle crunch from the middle beautiful refreshing crunch from asparagus and just pure sweetness from the lobster and the sauce they give you
This is magical hundred percent. There's lobster in there as well
Tastes like a thick lobster bisque
Next course is the lobster. He also made a vegetable cheese crepe
These are veggies basically in a crepe made of mostly cheese
Mmm eggplant tomatoes. Oh, this is so good
The lobster freshly cooked you get the lobster knuckles a little bit of side salad and giant lobster tail
Fresh as they come so tender and sweet garlicky and peppery. Don't forget the innards
Some of the knuckles too
Perfectly sweet. So the knuckles they didn't put really any flavoring on and this is boiled
So you get that fresh taste of the lobster and then the lobster body and tail
That's all tip on goodness
So before the steak get a little palate cleanser. It's a solid block with lemon juice inside
That's crazy. It's a little white chocolate shell with lemon juice inside. My palate's cleansed in the best way possible
The steak looks perfect
Perfectly juicy beautiful color and then you get some fried rice and this looks like a little clam soup
There's sirloin I say more flavor but not as tender as the fillet. Fillet is just pure tenderness
Chase it with some roasted garlic. They also give you fried rice
Super garlicky little crispy. This is the best teppanyaki I've ever been to in my life
Hands-down this place is so great
I'm gonna put this on the must-try list after you eat some of the rice pour some of the clam soup in
Subtly briny, this just tastes like the best part of the ocean
Absolutely phenomenal you don't even need to get a lobster their cheapest set is about
$24 and you pretty much get everything I have without the lobster, which is still amazing deal some ice cream fruit and tea
That tastes like Hokkaido ice cream so milky
We love every single bite of this getting to an all-you-can-eat
Japanese buffet at a hotel that's supposed to have some of the best prime rib in town
There's actually not a lot of buffets in Tokyo and I heard really good things about this one. So let's go check it out
This looks like an exquisite
Buffet, it's not a huge buffet, but everything it's freshly prepared
I'll order some duck some scallops some abalone. Everything is freshly grilled. The soups look scrumptious. The seafood looks fresh
That's all making sushi. The claim to fame here is the roast beef gotta try that out. I
Really like borscht first time I had it was in Poland. I was thinking I beat soup
How could this be good loved it ever since this tastes more like a beef stew though
I'm still good the beef flavor
There's definitely more just a beef stew, but doesn't remind me much of borscht scallops came sizzling off the grill
There's different types of salt. You can get this is spicy salt and there's also yuzu salt and matcha salt
Scallops nice and sweet plump and juicy
Abalone
My biggest request for abalone is please don't taste like rubber
Duck is awesome. It's so smoky. So fatty and juicy. This is their house soup with fish and mussels
There's definitely some wine in this soup the fish is really flaky very tender broth is delicious
Very light mild broth
I feel like this is a buffet that a lot of locals go to don't see a lot of tourists in here and even booking
This when you don't speak or read Japanese a little difficult
Mussels in white wine sauce, they're okay. The brininess definitely overshadows all the flavor from the wine sauce. All right round two
Almost every main dish you get here at this restaurant. They cook and assemble it for you. Once you order it, how beautiful this is
It's not like a five-star restaurant. There's some vegetables squash eggplant some pepper in the middle
Iberico pork and then lamb with a piece of Hokkaido grilled cheese on top try this lamb with a piece of Hokkaido cheese
Tender lamb, but the star of the show definitely a piece of grilled cheese toasty going in and so milky after a few shoes vegetables
There's some daikon eggplant
Hmm and the pork belly
Best bite of the night Iberico pork grilled pork belly that tastes like a piece of a5 Wagyu
It's so melty and fatty and juicy. Definitely need to hit the repeat button on this one
This buffet is so exquisite. Pumpkin soup
Cold pumpkin soup a little sweet very creamy smoked salmon with cream cheese and fish
Little crunchy shallots in here as well
Salmon beautifully smoky. We've got the rich cream cheese figs as just a slight bit of sweetness. This is a plus dish
This is what they call a consummate looks like little bits of crab meat in here some jello mushrooms and looks like a steamed egg
Hmm like steamed egg crab meat and a ginkgo nut and some dill
Vegetable prosciutto is good. Smoked duck looks amazing
Tastes better than it looks
Risotto is delicious. The pasta is perfect
little cheese tart
Hmm this buffet every single thing you get from the bar tastes like the dish was specifically cooked for you
I think it's a beef stew pot pie
Look how flaky the crushed dish
This whole thing looks so airy and light. Oh my gosh. Looks like you can't even weather a light rain. So thin and flaky
Love it. The crust is one of the lightest things you'll ever put in your mouth
Hmm
So light so flaky
I'm just gonna nibble around this whole little cup
It's so good. Inside tender beef, tender mushrooms, thick rich gravy. I haven't even tried their supposedly best dish yet, the roast beef
So there's a station here where they make you fresh sushi and spicy chicken
Definitely way too much batter
Hmm
Jellyfish is good
Sriracha is okay. Mainly just sushi rice not much else in here. Sushi looks amazing
Scallops, shrimp, squid, tuna, salmon
That is some melt-in-your-mouth stuff, especially the scallops
The scallops amazingly mouth-watering. This is their water dumpling
Feel like there's too much dough not enough filling. Broth is okay. Very typical chicken broth
Winner of this plate? Definitely the sushi
This roast beef looks awesome and they slice it up into bite-sized pieces for you
Again, everything here just looks so elegant and refined
Mmm
This is some of the best roast beef ever
Wow
Mmm
I don't think I've ever had roast beef this tender before. This definitely tastes like Wagyu roast beef. It's so buttery
It just melts in your mouth
It didn't say Wagyu roast beef. It tastes like Wagyu roast beef
Mmm
I would come to this buffet just to eat this roast beef
I need more of that like right away. By the way, I know it's prime rib. It's labeled roast beef
So I'm just calling it roast beef. That's some of the best in the world
Two more plates of the roast beef. The only time I've ever eaten this with chopsticks. Look how fatty this is
If you are a fan of prime rib, you're a fan of sushi
You'll love this place based on those two items alone
And there's a whole curry section and a whole sukiyaki section. I haven't even tried out yet. Plus the desserts over there
I'm still just hung up on this prime rib
Curry the original there's a cauliflower and shrimp which is what I got because it looks really red and hopefully that means it's spicy
Oh it's really spicy. Light your tongue, fire stuff
The curry has really good flavor, it's rich, super thick. This is really good
I've chosen correctly. The last savory item I wanted to try, they make fresh sukiyaki
So all the veggies, meats, everything is cooked fresh
Wow, this is delicious too
Super tender beef. The sukiyaki is not overly sweet
Vegetables fresh, tofu is tender. I think I'm done with the savory dishes. So this buffet is 7,500 yen, about 50 US dollars
Not cheap a bit, but I think it is one of the best in Tokyo
There's not a lot of buffets around Japan like compared to other countries. But the food items here, they're cooked nicely
They're presented beautifully. My favorites, obviously the prime rib, sushi's fresh and delicious
A lot of those little bites like the smoked salmon, the pasta, the risotto. Flavor is really good
All right, they just came by and told me I had to leave in 30 minutes
Dessert time
A lot of different flavors of gelato. They also make you a mont blanc if you request it
So that's what this is
That's really chestnutty
That mango gelato is awesome
And mango gelato is the best thing. There's actually not a lot of dessert items
Just some panna cotta, some gelato. I feel like the cakes, those don't really look like they made them here
I think dessert overall is kind of an afterthought for this place. Do I think this place is worth it for $50?
Again, considering that's probably the best prime rib I've ever had in my life and a good piece of prime rib will usually cost
Way more than that. I will come back for that alone. Overall the food is good
The atmosphere is nice, the people are nice. This dessert could use some work. As always the information for this place listed down below for you guys
Thank you all so much for watching until we meet again. See you later
