About
Chef Lawrence Mok spent decades mastering teppanyaki at landmark Japanese institutions including Inakaya and Nadaman before opening IM Teppanyaki & Wine in 2013 in Tai Hang, subsequently relocating to SL Ginza in Tin Hau. His cooking distils the essence of Japanese teppanyaki — precision heat, top-grade proteins, and restrained seasoning — into a focused omakase format. The restaurant has held a Michelin star continuously, making it the only teppanyaki counter in Hong Kong to achieve the distinction. A private room for eight allows for exclusive chef-led tastings with bespoke sake or wine pairings. A formal dress code and advance reservation with deposit underlines the elevated experience.

IM Teppanyaki & Wine (鐵板燒·鑄) sits in Tin Hau, one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root.
