Teppan - Best Japanese Restaurant in Chennai

Treat your loved ones to a night out at Teppan, this traditional Jap spot situated in TTK Road, Alwarpet. Start by hitting the counter for fresh and thick slices of Salmon Sashimi, before moving on to their signature Maki Rolls – from prawn to unagi and crab meat. The addictively crispy Ebi Tempura are a must-try too. Add this hidden gem to your list of must-visit sushi spot for special occasions.

Nigiri Moriawase Edo

Teppan is arguably most famous for their Nigiri Moriawase Edo, which is perfectly executed. You get a good ratio of sashimi to rice, good texture, and flavours that meld together amazingly. The nigiri sushi is top-notch as well. Think extremely fresh slice of assorted raw fish on well-seasoned sushi rice. Their Signature Nigiri Moriawase Edo literally tastes like the ocean, with uni, ebi, suzuki and tobiko.


Sashimi Moriawase Edo

One bite and it is evident that the Sashimi Moriawase Edo is super fresh, with the delicate, well-cut slices of fresh Tuna, Salmon, Cuttlefish and Eel simply melting in your mouth. They do Sashimi Moriawase Edo stunningly well, but that comes with a pretty hefty price tag.

Naruto Maki

Try their Naruto Maki - the pieces of fish are so lightly seared that they just melt in your mouth. DIVINE.


Ebi Tempura

You’ll be spoilt for choice on Ebi Tempura. Neatly deep fried and served in a pop art style, golden brown and lightly crisp prawns are so gorgeous that you’ll find it hard to discard. This light and delicious Ebi Tempura will leave you full and satisfied.

Pink Dragon Maki

The Pink Dragon Maki featuring incredibly fresh and tender shrimp tempura, smoked salmon and cucumbers are inside the roll topped with sliced avocado and slathered in a savoury Japanese mayo.

Hey there @RajdeepB ,

Once again a beautifully crafted food post, amazing! Thanks for sharing. :]

The Ebi Tempura is my absolute favorite from the list.

Sushi is something very exclusive. Have you tried sushi topped with edible sand? I find it very interesting because I’m positive that sushi is more about texture than flavor.

Thank you so much @Deskata … Ebi Tempura can be your perfect starter before you moved to teppanyaki.

Didn’t got your point about Sushi, are you talking about Maki Sushi or Dragon.

Lol @RajdeepB I’ve mistaken one word in my question, sorry about the confusion. :smile:

I was asking if you have tried sushi rolls covered with edible sand?

By edible sand do you mean traditional Tobiko or Roe or Caviar? If that’s your question then I have tasted it several times :slightly_smiling_face:

I guess it is a local thing @RajdeepB . Here in Sofia, some sushi places have it in their menu, it is neither Tobiko or Caviar, the description is “edible sand” I assume it is made from some sort of nuts finely grated. :]
