Checked out the hype that is Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei and at just slightly after 6pm on a Saturday, there was no queue! Went in and got seated immediately. 😎

Naturally, I ordered the Triple Cheese Prime Hamburg Steak ($20.80++) - 180g prime US beef patty, ebi furai, tofu with bonito flakes and fried beancurd AKA aburaage. There is a pretty generous cheese filling hidden within the patty and while the hamburg steak tastes good on its own, I feel the cheese elevates then flavour of it by a lot more. The patty is juicy - one press and you'll see all the juice flow out and sizzle on the plate - and actually rather flavourful on its own, much so that you don't actually need to pour onto or dip into sauce! I chose the signature sauce and frankly...I didn't like it. 😕 Just not the kind of sauce I would go for I suppose. Also the additional items felt a bit unnecessary but I'd like to assume that they serve as palette cleansers. 😅

Every set comes with free flow eggs and salad bar. There's a pretty extensive range of greens, toppings and condiments to pick from to customize your own bowl of salad, and as for the eggs, the spring onion tamago is so freakin' addictive that I did not bother to take anything else for seconds. 🤣

With such a satisfying standard of hamburg steak, it is no surprise that this restaurant should attract long queues at dinner time. A queue started to form after I left at 7.30pm but it was not long at all. Hope the hype is not already dying?
