Shinobi Teppanyaki Restaurant

Shinobi Teppanyaki Restaurant in Phuket Town (Old Town) turns dinner into a live teppanyaki show. Guests sit around the hot grill while the chef cooks right in front of them — perfectly seared steaks, fire tricks, light banter, and plenty of interaction. It works equally well for groups of friends or a relaxed family night out.

The menu focuses on premium ingredients and straightforward, well-balanced flavors. Expect ribeye and tenderloin steaks, including A5 wagyu (both Japanese and Australian), along with delicate seafood such as jumbo tiger prawns, scallops, and lobster, plus foie gras. A special mention goes to dishes served with the restaurant’s signature sauce — black cod (gindara/butterfish) and scallops are standout choices. Steaks come with sides like a salad with a bold dressing, soup, and teppan-fried rice cooked in front of you.

The interior is modern with subtle Japanese accents — clean, elegant, and calm. The music stays in the background, the seating feels more private, and the atmosphere is unhurried. Service is attentive: the team keeps the evening flowing smoothly and supports the chef in running the room. There’s also a solid wine selection, fitting the restaurant’s leisurely dining concept.

Prices are above average, but they match the ingredient quality and the experience. Tables are in demand, so it’s best to book ahead — and to confirm your order in advance as well — to avoid issues with availability of certain dishes.
