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.
