Set in the basement of the Kowloon Shangri-la, Nadaman is spartan yet stylish, although the lighting is a little too bright. There is a teppanyaki area with two good-sized teppanyaki tables, a restaurant area, a traditional tatami room and three private rooms.
The menu is varied including both a la carte items and set teppanyaki dinners as well as a la carte sushi, sashimi and tempura. A selection of two teppanyaki dinners – one seafood, one beef - is an easy and good choice, however it is also worth sampling the sushi, which is fresh and flavourful. In particular, the spicy tuna roll is excellent and the standard sushi sampler is fresh and tasty. The teppanyaki set meals are good and very filling, and provide variety with six courses including appetiser and salad, fresh prawns and scallops, vegetables, main course, fried rice and soup, and a daily dessert. The US sirloin is very tasty but if you are choosing beef , it is worth treating yourself to the Australian Wagyu. The lobster, scallops and fish are fragrantly flavored and cooked to perfection.
An extensive list of hot and cold sake by region and a small and very reasonable wine list by the glass or bottle. Beer is also available.
Polite and well-presented waiters have a good knowledge of the menu and a sense of humour. The teppenyaki chefs are knowledgeable and well trained.
The beef and seafood teppanyaki menu was $1,320 for two people, without wine.
