🏆 Frisco's Hibachi Story Continues in Lewisville
Ben Matsuda opened the first Jinbeh in Las Colinas in 1988, and the family later brought the hibachi table to Frisco. He Ben Matsuda chose the name “Jinbeh” because it was a common Japanese farmer's surname during the feudal period, symbolizing humility, honesty, and hard work.
For years, two generations of Frisco families celebrated birthdays, graduations and first dates at our hibachi tables. That story keeps going at 2440 S Stemmons Fwy, Suite A, in Lewisville. It is the same kind of night: the chef, the fire, the onion volcano and a table full of people you love.

🥢 What Hibachi Diners Are Actually Looking For
The word “hibachi” in America refers to Japanese steakhouse dining where a chef cooks meat, seafood, rice, and vegetables on a flat-top grill in front of seated guests. Fire, knife tricks, flying shrimp, the onion volcano. That is the format most Frisco diners mean when they search “hibachi near me.”
The technically correct Japanese word for that format is teppanyaki. Teppan means iron plate, yaki means grilled. A real hibachi in Japan is actually a small charcoal brazier used for heating a room, not cooking a meal. When Japanese steakhouses brought this dining style to the United States starting in the 1960s, “hibachi” became the common American term.
Most guests arrive looking for one of three things: a birthday celebration, a date night with a show, or a family-friendly group dinner. Jinbeh delivers all three at once, with hibachi tables that seat 7 to 8 and the flexibility to join tables for larger groups when families and offices reserve early.
🔥 What to Expect at the Lewisville Hibachi Table
Soup and salad come first while your chef preps. Then the show starts: knife work, the egg toss, the onion volcano and a precise sear on every steak, shrimp and chicken. Vegetables and fried rice cook first, proteins last. Plan on 75 to 100 minutes from seating to dessert. Jinbeh Lewisville cooks on electric teppanyaki grills, and the show is the one Frisco families remember.
Insider Tip
🏯 Why Jinbeh Has Been a Favorite for Nearly Four Decades
Jinbeh is not a chain. Not a franchise. One family table, set since 1988, with two generations of regulars. The story began in Frisco and continues in Lewisville. Families who celebrated their first birthdays with us in the late '80s now bring their own children for the same hibachi show.
Jinbeh Lewisville holds a 4.7-star average across 427+ verified OpenTable reviews, and Jinbeh has appeared on OpenTable Diners' Choice lists for the Dallas Suburbs region. Those awards are not editorial picks. They are the aggregate of verified diner reviews, which is the closest signal we have to a real local consensus.
“Two generations of regulars. A hibachi show that still makes kids scream with delight.”

🏆 What Makes Jinbeh Stand Out
Plenty of hibachi spots exist in DFW. Here is why Jinbeh has been North Texas's family hibachi table since 1988.
- The original, not a copycat. Jinbeh has been family-owned since 1988, before the hibachi boom in North Texas. When other steakhouses arrived, Jinbeh was already on its second generation of regulars. That history is in every detail, from the sushi bar to the way our chefs read a table.
- The legendary fried rice.Nearly every review mentions it. A veteran diner's tip for first- timers: “Order the fried rice. Trust me, it's the best you'll ever have.”
- A family legacy, not a franchise.Founder Ben Matsuda chose the name “Jinbeh” to symbolize humility, honesty, and hard work. The same family still owns and operates Jinbeh today, and that story continues in Lewisville.
- Staff who go above and beyond. Birthday groups regularly get a personal touch. The manager has brought out a drum and sung Happy Birthday for a four-year-old at the hibachi table. That is the kind of moment that keeps families coming back for two generations.
- Handles large groups flawlessly. Reviewers describe parties of 20 dining together by joining sections, and groups of 12 cheered on by management. The hibachi table format is built for this: 7 to 8 seats per chef, and we routinely accommodate multi-table reservations for major celebrations.
