At Leoka Teppanyaki, nestled within the Pullman Bangkok King Power, an intimate dining journey awaits. Here, it is a stage for a culinary dialogue, a place where exceptional ingredients from land and sea engage in a conversation guided by the quiet precision of our chefs. This experience is epitomised in our Surf & Turf Teppanyaki Set, a multi-course progression designed for the discerning diner seeking substance and artistry in the heart of Bangkok.
This is a celebration of nature’s finest offerings, presented through the elegance of fire. It is an invitation to connect with the craft of teppanyaki in its most focused and respectful form, where every element on the plate has a purpose and every movement of the chef is a deliberate step in a carefully choreographed performance. We invite you to discover a refined expression of this classic pairing, crafted as a complete sensory narrative from the first course to the last.
The Philosophy of the Surf & Turf Teppanyaki Set in Bangkok
The essence of the Leoka experience is rooted in a philosophy of reverence. We believe that when nature provides ingredients of exceptional quality, our role is to honour them, never to overpower them. This ‘Refined Artisan’ approach is the guiding principle behind our Surf & Turf Teppanyaki set in Bangkok. It is not a simple platter of meat and seafood, but a thoughtfully curated journey where each course is designed to complement the next, creating a harmonious and memorable dining narrative.
The teppan serves as the stage for this culinary performance. It is where the subtle sweetness of the sea meets the robust character of the land, brought together through the controlled intensity of fire. This dialogue between ingredients is what defines a truly refined Surf & Turf experience. A structured set menu allows our chefs to guide your palate through this story, ensuring a balanced and complete progression of flavours and textures that an à la carte selection might not achieve. This is all delivered with the spirit of motenashi,, the uniquely Japanese approach to hospitality that anticipates your needs with grace and unobtrusive attention, making your evening seamless and personal.
- The Refined Artisan Approach: Our culinary philosophy centres on honouring the intrinsic quality of each ingredient, using the teppan to enhance, not mask, its natural flavours.
- A Sensory Dialogue: We view the teppan as a stage where the distinct characters of premium seafood and prime meats are brought into a harmonious conversation.
- The Curated Journey: A multi-course set provides a complete narrative, guiding the diner through a progression of tastes that build upon one another for a fulfilling experience.
- Omotenashi Service: The experience is enveloped in heartfelt Japanese hospitality, ensuring every detail of your visit is attended to with calm confidence and care.
Honouring Exceptional Ingredients from Land and Sea
At the core of our Surf & Turf set is a deep respect for the ingredients themselves. The ‘elegance of fire’ is our primary tool—a technique that requires immense precision to perfectly cook delicate seafood and robust meats on the same surface. The process is a testament to the chef’s skill, knowing the exact moment to apply heat to achieve a perfect sear while preserving the tender integrity within. This is particularly evident in the preparation of our precision-grilled Tiger Prawns, sourced for their firm texture and sweet flavour, which come alive on the hot teppan stage. Each element is chosen not just for its quality, but for its ability to contribute to the overall narrative of the meal.

Your experience begins with a starter of Tuna Tataki, its edges lightly seared to perfection while the centre remains rare and succulent. This is served alongside a seasonal salad, creating a fresh and vibrant opening that awakens the palate. Following this, the performance at the teppan stage begins in earnest.

The Art of the Teppan Sear and Wagyu Upgrades
The teppan grill is central to our craft. Its consistently high, even heat is essential for achieving the perfect caramelization on the exterior of the beef while locking in its juices. This is what creates that satisfying sizzle and the rich, complex Maillard reaction that is the hallmark of expertly cooked teppanyaki. For our Australian Ribeye, this process yields a beautifully crusted and deeply flavourful result.
For connoisseurs seeking the pinnacle of Japanese beef, we offer an upgrade to the legendary Tajima A5 Wagyu. This is an ingredient of unparalleled quality, distinguished by its extraordinary marbling, which melts at a low temperature to create a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Preparing Tajima Wagyu on the teppan is an act of precision and respect, a skill our chefs have honed to perfection. This upgrade transforms an already refined meal into an unforgettable indulgence. To see how this set fits within our broader offerings, you can explore the Surf & Turf and other menu options on our full menu.
