Tabelog ratingLocated in an annex of the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel, Teppanyaki Atago (鉄板焼・愛宕) delivers the quintessential upscale teppanyaki experience. The main event is the tableside theatre: chefs working on an immaculate iron griddle, transforming top-grade wagyu and seasonal Hiroshima seafood into a multi-course meal. The performance—from crafting paper-thin garlic chips to dramatic flambé moments—is as much a part of the appeal as the food itself.
Guests consistently praise the quality of the ingredients, particularly the A4 and A5-grade wagyu, with both fillet and sirloin cuts described as meltingly tender. The set-course structure is also a highlight, typically starting with seafood, moving through grilled seasonal vegetables, and finishing with the option of a rich garlic rice prepared on the griddle. The polished, hotel-level service and frequent availability of English-speaking staff make it a comfortable and popular choice for international visitors, many of whom call it a highlight of their trip to Hiroshima.
While most experiences are positive, a minority of reviewers have noted inconsistent service, from slow pacing to feeling rushed. Rare reports mention brusque staff or, more seriously, a mistake in handling a stated allergy. A few diners also found the portion sizes small for the price. For most, however, the experience justifies the cost.
Expect to spend around ¥6,000–¥8,000 for lunch and ¥15,000–¥20,000 for dinner. Reviewers in recent years have paid around ¥4,048 for a steak lunch, with another lunch set cited at ¥3,200 (plus ¥200 for garlic rice). A dinner course booked via a concierge was around ¥13,500 before tax, with higher-end courses and A5 wagyu upgrades pushing the total into the upper price bracket.
