✨ AI Quick Take

Kaohsiung UKAI-tei delivers high-spec teppanyaki through design, counter cooking, tableware, and service. It is a precise culinary performance for refined meals and formal Kaohsiung gatherings.

Uncle's take: The mark is not merely searing meat, but sustaining the occasion from starter to dessert.
Setting and atmosphere:On floors two and three of THE AMNIS, teppan counters, fine tableware, and tableside service shape the meal. UKAI's first overseas site houses teppanyaki, Japanese food, and steak; this account centers on counter cooking in a quiet setting.
Location and dining notes:At 高雄市前鎮區中山二路199號 THE AMNIS然一酒店2樓及3樓, phone 07-973-0122. From exit 2 of 捷運三多商圈站 (Sanduo Shopping District Station), walk about 5 minutes. Lunch and dinner are separate; seasonal ingredients change, one party selects one set, and service charge applies.
● White-Wine Clams with Bamboo Shoots

Clean marine flavor and bamboo fragrance open the meal. Fresh clams and crisp shoots feel light, balanced, and technically assured.

● Iwayama Abalone

Kombu, rock salt, and white wine protect the abalone before teppan cooking locks in flavor without tightening it. Thick springy flesh, clear sea taste, house sauce, and prepared liver show ingredient care.
