During my family's "Around the World in 90 Days" trip (see my blog: www.toscanoworldtrip.blogspot.com) I had the pleasure of eating at Ukaitei in Tokyo. I was recommended this restaurant by my businessman friend in Tokyo who knows the owner. The restaurant is located in the upscale Ginza shopping district of Tokyo. It is very posh and formal. You can eat... More

I ordered a la carte to share .. Price is very high even though I am used to high price dinner ... I paid about $1000 for two with a glass of champagne and sake each... And we don't eat a lot we even share our main courses Started with seafood , then vegetable and at the end we ordered... More

Best food I had during my visit to Tokyo. Excellent service and very nice location to visit with business guests.

Been here a few times. It is freakin' expensive but so much worth it, the once in a blue moon is a visit to UkaiTei in Omotesando delivers so so this time. Food impeccable, but for some reason service was really poor this time. Guess they were lucky that Michelin wasn't here this evening, that would probably have lost them... More

This was without doubt the best dining occasion I have experienced. Expensive yes. But a bit like the extravagance of staying at the Park Hyatt, this is Tokyo and a splurge here comes highly rewarded.

If you think that Tepanyaki is only to put some ingredients to cook In an iron griddle, please go to this Ukiai and redifine your mind. Top chef cooking for you one dish at the time, high quality ingredients and amazing combinations. Highly expensive but no regrets.

Place looks nice sitting comfortably on Omotesando. Fresh abalone cooked and sautéed was superb, beef was tendered well presented and well prepared for cooking. Well done and I like it more than other steak house in Tokyo.
