Robin's Grill & Teppan

The Room

Robin's Grill & Teppan is the signature restaurant of the Regent Chongqing hotel in the Jiangbeizui new-city district, and was listed in the 2025 Black Pearl Restaurant Guide. The room is split between a teppanyaki counter of twelve seats and a grill dining room of around forty, all overlooking the Yangtze and the lights of the old Jiefangbei district across the water. The teppanyaki counter is the critical experience. A full performative eight-to-ten-course teppan, executed at the level of a good Ginza teppanyaki room, priced well below a Tokyo equivalent.

The signatures are the dry-aged Japanese A5 wagyu (both the Miyazaki and the Kagoshima are carried depending on availability), the live Hokkaido scallops, and the foie-gras-and-Aomori-apple course that has been on the menu since the restaurant opened and has become one of the most-photographed single plates in Chongqing. The grill side of the restaurant offers a shorter menu built around dry-aged beef and mainland Chinese seafood, served without the teppan theatre.

The room's design is contemporary-luxury hotel. Dark stone, brushed brass, linen tablecloths. The teppan counter is polished matte black and is the focal point; counter seating is the table to request for the full experience. The private teppanyaki rooms seat six and ten and are used for business entertaining.

Pricing runs ¥1,400-2,400 per person for the full teppan experience with sake or wine pairings. The wine list is a proper international one. French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese. And the sake list is deeper than most hotel teppanyaki restaurants carry. Reservations are easier to obtain than at the Plaza Michelin cluster; one to two weeks' notice generally suffices. The hotel's location in Jiangbeizui means the Yangtze night-view is part of the meal. Request a window-adjacent counter seat.
