New HK bars and restaurants opening this summer

Crown Super Deluxe

Black Sheep Restaurants’ latest venture is offering a lavish teppanyaki experience with strong influences from both Japan and the US. Co-founders Christopher Mark and Syed Asim Hussain aim to meld the refinement and luxury of a Kobe teppanyaki, but with a dash of Rocky Aoki’s American dream in this establishment, which includes custom-made interior details, created to give the sense of sashaying into Tokyo in the ‘60s.

Every teppan is manned by at least one chef, and heading up the team is chef Toru Takano, a teppanyaki veteran originally from Niigata, along with his wife chef Ami Hamasaki. The menu showcases all the teppanyaki classics but with a focus on beef, using the best grain-fed steaks from USDA Prime to Australian Wagyu, and a rotating premium selection from small Japanese farmers specialising in well-marbled cuts of beef.

The Deluxe meal starts with a selection of Toyosu Market Sashimi, Tokushima Fruit Tomato with Japanese Sea Salt, and Teppan Spiny Lobster in Coral Butter. This is followed by A5 Kagoshima Wagyu Beef served with signature Crown Sauces. Lobster Miso Soup and Wagyu and Garlic Fried Rice are also included.

After the teppanyaki experience, guests are invited to settle into the 30-seat dessert and whisky lounge with comfortable low seating where French Nouvelle desserts, like Croquembouche and Coconut Tart Shell, meet a selection of signature Japanese whiskies and American bourbons.

Address: Mezzanine, LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham St, Central
