TEPPAN

Originating in Japan, "teppanyaki" - meaning steel grill - is the food preparation style where meat and vegetables are cooked and eaten off of a large table-top grill called a "teppan." Teppan indicates an iron pan, and yaki indicates grilling in Japanese. Traditionally, these meals were prepared on a small grill by families, however it has developed into a highly refined and beautiful form of expression, characterized by an intricate combination of presentation and knife skills. The best part of teppan-yaki is that cooking and eating are done in the same place.

At Kobe Japanese Steak House, teppanyaki diners sit at communal "hibachi" tables that surround the grill keeping their food warm. This dining style also allows them to view the chef as he prepares the meal with amazing skill using the traditional tools of the trade - a knife, a fork and two metal spatulas.

Watch master chefs prepare meals of hibachi shrimp, chicken and steak; hibachi fried rice; yakisoba; and teriyaki beef julienne while they perform dazzling and highly skilled maneuvers with razor sharp knives, salt and pepper shakers and flying shrimp.

During the course of a teppanyaki meal at Kobe, guests will spend quite a bit of time with their chef. Each of our chef's level of showmanship and knowledge of Japanese dining, combined with delicious food, continue to create a fun dining experience for all patrons.  At Kobe our Teppan tables seat 8 guests making a great dining experience for both small and large parties. Reservations are highly recommended.
