About Hatsuhana Japanese Restaurant

Tableside fire, sizzling garlic butter prawns, and lively teppanyaki banter make this Sea World Resort fixture a prime pick for families and celebrations. Guests gather around the hotplate for high-energy grill theater—complete with flying eggs and attentive chef routines that keep kids engaged—or settle into the adjacent dining room for a slower à la carte pace. The kitchen turns out fresh oysters, crisp prawn tempura, and seared Black Angus steak, alongside birthday sparklers and matcha cake for milestone dinners.

  • Interactive Teppanyaki Theater: Chefs work the hotplates with theatrical flair, fire tricks, and games tailored to involve young diners throughout the meal.
  • Teppanyaki & À La Carte Spaces: Choose between communal hotplate dining, an open sushi bar, or a quiet à la carte room serving fresh sashimi and tempura.
  • Celebration Hospitality: Staff mark birthdays and milestones with singing and complimentary matcha cake slices with sparklers.
