Sho Teppan

Food was good. It was fun cooking the dish yourself. Friendly and helpful staff.

Sho Teppan is a brand new dining concept that surfaced in 2009. What Sho Teppan attracts me is it allows customers to enjoy the thrill of cooking the meal themselves, just the way they like it. Unique and creative. Sho Teppan is the first to offer both Teppanyaki and Sukiyaki under one roof.
Ranging from Wagyu Beef, Premium Black Angus, Kurobuta Pork Loin are the selection of meats that you can choose to cook with. And they are definitely spoilt for choice here. My favourite choice is their wagyu beef shabu shabu. Thinly sliced premium beef dip with their sesame shabu shabu sauce makes it ultra delicious. However, the negative part is the portion is a bit too small for me. If they were to offer buffet style, I would definitely be camping there every day.

DIY Teppanyaki is the taglinefor sho-​teppan in ION Orchard. Using induction cookers, Sho-​Teppan does away with smoke and lingering smells on your shirts. So do not be deceived by the counter seats, thinking that there is a chef putting on a show for you. You are your own chef and you control the cooking.
Prices start from $ 10.90 onward for a simple chicken and vegetables mix to the more expensive pork and beef. I ordered a kurobata pork sukiyaki (sweet soup) and my friend took the chicken teppanyaki. When the pot came, they turned on the induction cooker and all we had to do is wait. Each set comes with rice and salad and miso soup.
Overall, I felt that it was disappointing as they would turn off the power once they see it is done, so any individual preference for cooking is gone. Not to mention that the ingredients are pre-​prepared, it does seem that they offer a heated pot and let the customers stir for a few minutes before getting on with having their meal.
I feel that they are expensive for the few pieces of chicken and pork offered and would not visit again. It does seem to be an overpriced pepper lunch express in the end.
