NCL’s version of Benihana, Teppanyaki is a Japanese hibachi specialty restaurant that’s one part dinner and one part show. Guests are seated around a flat grill to watch as a talented teppan chef prepares meat, seafood, vegetable, noodle, and rice dishes.
As of 2025, the cover charge for Teppanyaki is $60 + 20% gratuity. It’s also included as an option in dining packages and for complimentary Latitudes meals (for those Platinum and above).
The following NCL ships have Teppanyaki
*On the Prima and Viva, the hibachi specialty restaurant is called “Hasuki,” but the menu is nearly identical.
Here are photos of some of my family’s favorite dishes at Teppanyaki: seaweed salad, fried rice, vegetable yaki udon, edo (sea scallops and jumbo shrimp), fresh fruit sashimi, and green tea cake.
And with that…

Never purchase cruise insurance through NCL. You’ll pay more and get less than if you purchase it on your own. Use a site like TravelInsurance.com* to compare rates and plans and get exactly what you want for the least amount of money. It’s a simple process – just enter your travel dates, total travel costs (flights, hotel, cruise fare, etc), and some basic information about yourself and see available plans and rates and read reviews. Savings can be significant and mean more to spend onboard, at port, or on another cruise!
