About Pandora

Founded in 1972, Steak Pandora has been serving authentic teppanyaki in Shinjuku for over 50 years. Our commitment to quality, traditional recipes, and warm hospitality has made us a beloved destination for families, couples, and food enthusiasts alike.

Our Secret Soy Sauce

At the heart of our cuisine is our secret soy sauce recipe, unchanged since our founding. Carefully crafted from premium soy sauce blended with dozens of aromatic vegetables and fruits, and aged over time to achieve deep richness and gentle sweetness. This sauce brings out the maximum umami of our meat. More than just a seasoning, it's Pandora's history itself.

Our Meat Selection

The deliciousness of meat is determined before it hits the teppan. Leveraging relationships with trusted meat suppliers built over 30 years, we carefully select the finest Japanese Wagyu available each day. We go beyond brand and origin to meticulously evaluate meat quality, fat texture, and aging state. Our years of experience and discerning eye allow us to deliver truly delicious Wagyu to our customers.

Teppanyaki Fondant Chocolate

"You make dessert on the teppan too?" Surprised voices echo through the restaurant. Our teppanyaki fondant chocolate, finished on a hot iron plate, is Pandora's signature dessert— crisp on the outside, with rich, molten chocolate flowing from within. The live performance of cutting it before your eyes and the aroma of cocoa create an unforgettable finale to your meal.

Family Time at Pandora

A place where the whole family can smile. At Pandora, we offer special kids' plates, so families with children can enjoy their meal with peace of mind. Whether celebrating your child's growth or spending a casual holiday together, teppanyaki time with loved ones becomes a special memory. For 54 years, loved in Shinjuku, Pandora will continue to be a place where generations gather.

Pandora Takumi — Our Sister Restaurant

To further evolve the techniques and experience cultivated over nearly half a century, we opened our sister restaurant "Pandora Takumi" in 2018. A special space that pursues the charm of teppanyaki more deeply, using carefully selected Japanese Wagyu from across Japan. Preserving traditions inherited from our founding while continuing new challenges—that is Pandora's stance.
