The Story

About This Place

Roll & Teppan Ineya runs a dual concept rare in Thao Dien's crowded Japanese dining scene: a teppanyaki counter where the cooking is part of the performance, alongside a sashimi and nigiri program built around daily fresh fish. A perfect 5.0 across 78 Google reviews signals a kitchen that has earned consistent trust rather than occasional praise.

The sashimi and nigiri service draws particular attention. Chef An's preparation is something regulars describe as worth watching — fish handled with visible care, quality readable in color and texture, storage standards evident to anyone paying attention. It's the kind of precision that separates a serious Japanese kitchen from the many mediocre sushi-adjacent spots that have proliferated across District 2.

On the teppan side, tableside cooking has made the restaurant a natural choice for birthdays and group meals. The live format fits the izakaya spirit — unhurried, sociable, with staff who make occasions feel considered. Hanh, the front-of-house lead mentioned repeatedly by name in reviews, appears central to the warmth the dining room projects. Chef Tuan's teppanyaki has been singled out for both technique and the energy it brings to the table.

Lunch operates at a different pace: set menus arrive quickly, the room stays quiet, and the price point is reasonable for what's on the plate. The tiramisu closes meals on a soft note — an unexpected finish that regulars mention with approval.

The restaurant closes Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, making a reservation on open days advisable. The Xuân Thủy address sits within easy reach of Thảo Điền's main residential belt — close enough for weekday regulars, far enough from the busiest tourist stretch to preserve the calm that lunchtime diners specifically return for.

We had an absolutely stunning service by Chef An. Our order consisted of today’s sashimi and today’s nigiri. Starting with very well curated performance of the chef, we could observe how well the chef manipulates the freshest fish, all carefully packed and prepared for the service. We could see how fresh it was by the color, the texture. Personally I really appreciated how well all the food and fish is stored and kept. Well done to the team! Describing the food, it is surprising how the flavors open up in each piece of fish. The quality is very high and the flavors work very nicely together. It was definitely a very pleasant meal we had. What I could just add a bit is to make the temperature of the fish a bit lower, so it’s even tastier in the mouth and works perfectly with the rice. I would 100% recommend this restaurant for the environment, for the service of the team from welcome to goodbye, for the food of course and for the feeling of satisfaction you get here after eating. Thank you! We are very happy and satisfied. P.S. Tiramisu is a must try!
