Hibachi restaurants are Japanese style eateries where the chef cooks at your table. It's really good, and the chef will usually perform cool tricks like turning an onion into a volcano or train!I've seen different definitions for it, i imagine it's some kind of japanese style of cooking but im not sure about it.
But can the chef cook anything? What is the difference from other japanese restaurants?Hibachi restaurants are Japanese style eateries where the chef cooks at your table. It's really good, and the chef will usually perform cool tricks like turning an onion into a volcano or train!
At a traditional Japanese restaurant, you sit on the floor. At a hibachi restaurant, you sit at a table.But can the chef cook anything? What is the difference from other japanese restaurants?
Probably would be best to get a Japanese person’s opinion if you want to go deeper than what Rollie Forbes has typed. But the cuisine at these type of restaurants in the USA is typically Americanized variations of Japanese food.But can the chef cook anything? What is the difference from other japanese restaurants?
Oh i see, but it has nothing to do with the food.At a traditional Japanese restaurant, you sit on the floor. At a hibachi restaurant, you sit at a table.
I saw a video of a woman who said she ordered hibachi but it looked just like regular japanese food.Probably would be best to get a Japanese person’s opinion if you want to go deeper than what Rollie Forbes has typed.

Nothing too exotic like a karoke, squid/eel/octopus, etc. you typically see beef and chicken dishes that use Japanese seasonings.
Most people go to hibachi for the experience (40% food, 60% chef's theatrics). The food is usually good, but it's nothing you won't find at a Japanese steak house.Oh i see, but it has nothing to do with the food.

Think of it like this. In most table service restaurants, a server takes your order, walks to the kitchen, the cooks make it and the server brings it to you. In a Hibachi restaurant the Server takes your order, but you happen to be sitting in front of a large grill so the cook comes out and cooks the meal right in front of you. To make it more entertaining, the HIbachi chefs do tricks with the utensils and make designs with the food as they cook.Oh i see, but it has nothing to do with the food.

Yes, exactly. Benihana is a brand name for a chain of hibachi restaurants.So it's like benihana with a different name?
Is the food worth the price? Somehow the perception is get is that kind of "experience" is overpriced.Yes, exactly. Benihana is a brand name for a chain of hibachi restaurants.
The hibachi restaurants that I have visited have all had good food, but you're mostly paying for the show. You can get the same food for a lot less if you go to a regular Japanese restaurant.Is the food worth the price? Somehow the perception is get is that kind of "experience" is overpriced.
