Question 1

What is hibachi at Jinbeh?

Accepted Answer

Hibachi at Jinbeh is tableside Japanese cooking on a large iron griddle (teppanyaki style), performed by a skilled chef directly in front of your group. A typical hibachi meal at Jinbeh includes onion soup, salad with ginger dressing, fried rice, grilled vegetables, and your choice of protein, chicken, shrimp, scallops, steak, filet mignon, lobster tail, or combinations. The chef performs knife tricks, builds the famous onion volcano, and cooks each protein to order on the grill. Hibachi tables seat up to 10 guests around the grill. The experience runs about 60 to 75 minutes and includes our signature mustard sauce, ginger sauce, and yum yum sauce.

Question 2

What's the difference between hibachi and teppanyaki?

Accepted Answer

Technically, hibachi is a traditional Japanese charcoal grill, while teppanyaki is cooking on a flat iron griddle. In American restaurants, including Jinbeh, the word 'hibachi' is commonly used for what is technically teppanyaki: tableside cooking on a large flat griddle with a chef performing knife tricks and the onion volcano. Both terms refer to the same experience at Jinbeh's Frisco and Lewisville locations. Our chefs cook your proteins, vegetables, and fried rice on a heated iron surface right at your table. In Japan, the distinction matters more; in the US, the terms have effectively merged. When you book a 'hibachi' table at Jinbeh, you are getting teppanyaki-style cooking.
