Teppen (Teppanyaki & Robata Counter)

For solo diners who want interaction, Teppen’s counter brings the action to you. Watch chefs sear wagyu, torch mackerel, and send flames skyward while you sip a highball. The menu suits parties of one: kushiyaki skewers, small plates, donburi, and teppan specials you can build into a personal tasting. Bar seating is designed for singles and pairs, staff are lively without being pushy, and the energy makes “eating alone” feel like a front-row show. Go earlier on weekends to avoid a wait, and ask for counter seats specifically when you arrive.
