Here is the translation of the restaurant review:
"This steakhouse is located about 300 meters northwest from the north exit of JR Chuo Line Hachioji Station, along the north-south road connecting Misaki Street and Fujimi Street in Misaki-cho. When I arrived at the restaurant around 12:30, there were only two other customers inside. It was not crowded, but I wished they had seated me a little further away from the customer next to me at the counter. I ordered the recommended lunch course for 3,800 yen, which included recommended appetizers, today's soup, morning market fresh fish, fillet steak, main dish, dessert, coffee, and one drink. I started with a complimentary drink, and chose a draft beer. The first dish that came out was an appetizer plate with four items: cocktail glass with small shrimp, red snapper carpaccio, balsamic vinegar tomato salad, and tomato and edamame jelly. The carpaccio and tomato salad were particularly good. The second dish was salmon teppanyaki with accompaniments of shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, and turnip, served with tartar sauce and grilled salt. In between, I was served a chilled pumpkin soup with a sweet taste and a memorable creamy flavor. I enjoyed the salmon teppanyaki with both salt and tartar sauce, but personally preferred it with butter, lemon, and soy sauce. After finishing the complimentary beer, I ordered a glass of chilled Hakaisan sake. I noticed a blackboard with four recommended dishes written on it, and I decided to add two servings of "grilled shirako" for 1,200 yen each. The grilled shirako came with three pieces on a plate with salad. The crispy surface and creamy texture inside were both delicious. Next, the main dish of fillet steak was served on a square plate with eight bite-sized pieces, cress, garlic, wasabi, and grilled salt. There was also stir-fried bean sprouts on a separate plate. The fillet steak was exceptionally delicious, tender and full of meaty flavor. While the grilled salt was good, the wasabi soy sauce complemented it well, though I wished there was more butter. After finishing the steak, they served complimentary bread to make a bean sprout roll with the steak juices soaked into the bread. This service used to be common at Ukaitei in the past, but I haven't seen it there in recent years. The meal was completed with a hot stir-fried rice with small fish, miso soup with clams, and pickles. The flavorful combination of salty small fish and fragrant shiso leaf in the rice was delightful. Finally, dessert was a cream brulee with a topping of vanilla ice cream, which was so delicious that I found room for it despite feeling full."
