Having seen their (Sagano) on line teppanyaki menu, we booked Sagano to try out. It was a festive season public holiday and part of the teppanyaki tables were already occupied by guests when we arrived. We were then seated at one of the teppanyaki tables next to the window. The decorations of the restaurant was simple, yet clean with Japanese flare. I opted for the Momoyama Teppanyaki Set Lunch, and since I wanted Japanese Wagyu beef, it came to $990 per person which included the following: App
It was a festive season public holiday and part of the teppanyaki tables were already occupied by guests when we arrived. We were then seated at one of the teppanyaki tables next to the window. The decorations of the restaurant was simple, yet clean with Japanese flare.
I opted for the Momoyama Teppanyaki Set Lunch, and since I wanted Japanese Wagyu beef, it came to $990 per person which included the following: Appetiser, salad, sashimi, sautéed vegetables, prawn, scallop, salmon, sirloin / sliced sirloin roll, fried rice / fried noodles, miso soup, dessert. I did not like sashimi so they suggested replacing sashimi with tempura which I agreed. My friend chose the same teppanyaki set lunch but with Australian beef ($690).
The following were some of my tasting notes:
Appetiser and salad- couldn’t hide my disappointment when they were served . Just a small bowl of marinaded Japanese daikon and a pretty ordinary looking lettuce salad with a bit of seaweed on top. The salad though fresh was pretty basic and lacked finesse and creativity. Certainly not what I expected for nearly a $1000 meal…….
Tempura- the plate comprised 2 prawns and vegetables like shishito (Japanese pepper) and aubergine. The tempura batter was not thick, coating the prawns and vegetables which were done crisp and cooked just right, but if the batter for the prawns could be thinner, that would have been perfect.
Whilst we were eating, the teppanyaki chef started on cooking the prawns, scallops and salmons.
Prawns, scallops and salmon - they were dished out and presented on one plate. The cooking of the prawn, scallop and salmon were acceptable particularly the prawn head which had held its distinctive flavour. The salmon skin which was cooked separately from the flesh of the salmon was crispy also.
Sirloin Wagyu Beef - the teppanyaki chef showed us the beef prior to cooking. the Japanese Wagyu had a fair amount of marbled fat as compared with the Australian beef that my friend was having. I asked for my beef to be cooked medium and it was cooked just right, slightly crisp on the outside, juicy and buttery inside which was flavourful and paired well with the crispy garlic slices.
Fried rice and soup- these were not bad but not wow. I chose Yuzu ice cream instead of melon slices (forgot to take a picture) for dessert.
General: in terms of the food that they served, personally, I thought it was somewhat over priced. Overall, the beef and the seafood were not bad but not giving the wow factor. In terms of service of the staff team, though they were trying to be attentive, we felt being rushed to finish our food……. Maybe they had not yet mastered the art of being truly attentive - giving time to their customers to enjoy the food at their own pace and not interrupting too much to clear their plates.
They were able to offer 25% discount on the menu for joining Epicure as members. We were told that members of Epicure could enjoy discounts at eateries in New World Millennium Hotel.
