This omakase-style teppanyaki restaurant on the 38th floor of Honhui i-Tower on Siyuan Road in Xinzhuang is a newer brand under the Feastogether Group. It currently centers on refined high-rise menus of 10, 12 and 13 courses, along with reservation-only private-chef sets. The whole space leans hard into ceremony, from a gradient red-brick corridor and P.Seven leather fragrance to huge windows overlooking Taipei at night. The hardware and atmosphere are clearly pitched high. Despite the polished setting, the chefs are friendly and easy to chat with rather than stiff or aloof. One unusual detail is that dessert is served after you leave the teppanyaki counter and move to a separate dessert area, so the full meal runs long. This is refined dining where the setting and sense of occasion matter at least as much as simply getting full.
● Sashimi-grade Scallop
The Sashimi-grade Scallop is seared until golden outside while the center stays tender, moist and partly raw. Plump scallop is filled with bafun sea urchin, caviar and shiso, then paired with toasted nori. The first impression is the scallop’s sweetness, followed by the creamy sea urchin, briny caviar and fresh shiso aroma. It is best eaten as designed, wrapped in the nori in one bite, so tenderness, creaminess, a burst of savory freshness and the crisp seaweed all land together.
● Live Abalone
The live abalone uses South African abalone, heated on the teppan and cut into comfortably thick slices that keep a clear springy bite and chew. The brandy abalone-liver kombu sauce is rich, combining the liver’s deep marine flavor with a faint alcoholic aroma and coating the abalone so the savoriness builds as you chew. For the first bite, use very little sauce to feel the abalone’s own bounce, then bring the remaining slices into the sauce so the flavor moves from clean to full-bodied.
● Live Lobster
The Live Lobster arrives split in half, with firm, full meat that has a distinct springy bite while staying juicy and sweet. A lobster-tomalley onion sauce made from the head gathers shellfish savoriness and onion sweetness into one concentrated sauce, giving the meat even more depth. The chef has already handled the main portion of meat, so you can pull out large pieces along the shell. Taste it plain first, then use only a little sauce to distinguish the lobster meat’s sweetness from the tomalley’s richer marine flavor.
● A5 Wagyu Ribeye
The A5 Wagyu Ribeye is cooked to medium, developing a thin browned crust while retaining abundant fat and meat juices inside. The meat is tender, and the aroma of beef fat opens gradually as it cools. Truffle mashed potato adds smooth earthy depth, garlic butter and garlic chips bring stronger savory pungency, and sea salt sharpens the meat’s sweetness. There is no need to stack every accompaniment together; try them separately in small amounts and find the balance you prefer.
When booking, choose the 10-, 12- or 13-course menu and state any allergies or needs involving beef, raw food and alcohol. Once seated, you can ask the chef to adjust heavier sauces. Leave enough time for the full meal, including the move for dessert. Parking is not discounted, and window seats depend on the arrangement that day.

📌 Editor’s take
Uncle thinks Zhi Yun sells more than teppanyaki; it sells a polished date-night ritual. From the visual impact of the high-rise night view and the carefully chosen leather fragrance to the chefs’ fluid cooking at the counter, the meal has a well-shaped beginning, middle and end. Regular set menus start at NT$1,980, plus a ten-percent service charge, so it is not cheap. But if you want to reward yourself at year-end or spend an unhurried meal looking over the night skyline, the setting and details still make a convincing case.
