Review

Hyatt Regency’s Mizu delivers an award-winning teppanyaki experience that is as intimate as it is entertaining. Every seat is the best in the house, as guests sit ringside to the theatre of Japanese precision as your personal chef transforms simple ingredients into edible art. The experience unfolds in courses that balance health, flavour and flair. Delicate Hokkaido scallops arrive with julienned cucumber, a fresh squeeze of yuzu over lemon sauce and sprinkled with bursts of rich, salty ikura. Phuket seabass is layered with edamame, mushrooms, wakame, wrapped in banana leaf, steamed beneath a dome for a pure, subtle flavour. Golden garlic hits the teppan, tossed with egg, soy sauce, and sushi rice before sizzling black tiger prawns crown the dish. A dashi stock gently deepens the umami of the tofu miso soup. Vibrant seasonal vegetables are seared and glazed with a spicy bean paste, as the chef’s knife flashes across an Australian stri loin, that has a perfect sear. End with a burst of flames, Phuket pineapple, banana doused and flambéed to dramatic heights, paired with creamy house-made vanilla bean ice cream streaked with a luscious caramel sauce. The knowledgeable Hyatt team guide guests effortlessly through the saké menu, matching taste preferences to each saké’s unique flavour profile but rest assured, there is a comfortable supporting wine and cocktail list.
