Teppanyaki/HIbachi style places in Boston?
 

Going into the city today with my family and want to find a good Teppanyaki place. I can't seem to find anything online, anyone know of good places?

If not, good reasonably priced Japanese restaurants (or hell, anything good for a family) that aren't Legal Seafood?

do you live in norfolk?

Bisuteki in Cambridge is closed for renovations, too bad.

if you don't mind Korean instead of Japanese, and something kind of close to Hibachi, then I suggest Koreana in Cambridge.

Not sure about Japanese in Boston, but Brown Sugar is the best Thai place around. There is one on the Northeastern side and the BU side of Fenway park.

I tried to find one within 30 minutes of Boston multiple times, but as Daryn said the only one is closed for renovations. For sushi I like tsunami in Brookline and for steak its Grille 23, just no way to get a Japanese steak place.

Not sure how far away norwood is from boston but there is a Hibachi steak house located right off of rt. one in norwood

Re: Teppanyaki/HIbachi style places in Boston?
 

I've been there (Norwood). It's OK. I'd stay in the city if you're already there. Norwood is kinda strip-mally.

Isn't there one near Gub'mint Center on Cambridge street?
Edit: scratch above, I was thinking Bisuteki on Memorial.

Also, here is a place in Needham, which is a bit closer to Boston than Norwood.

best sushi is oishi in newton near BC

Re: Teppanyaki/HIbachi style places in Boston?
 

The last time I tried to find a Hibachi place I ended up going to a Fondue place. Try the wine cellar on Mass Ave down near Beacon, its very good

I'm not big into this type of food but I think Fugakyu in Coolidge Corner gets awesome reviews.

I realize this is completely random. My point was Hibachi dining is considered something different usually. As is a Fondue place, so its interesting and fun to try also. Also serves as random recommendation for anyone in Boston

This is a damn dirty lie. It's americanized Thai because apparently people in Boston can't handle anything spicier than a potato.

The only place for thai I've found to be semi-decent is Pad Thai Cafe - they will make it spicy to order like they're supposed to.

[censored] it. I'm getting spicy pad thai and sushi at Quan's Kitchen tonight.

yes

guys, I found one. Kiku Yama Teppanyaki Steak House, in Dedham. It was nothing compared to a place like Shintaro in LV or anything, and the service was pretty bad. The sushi and appetizers, however, were great, and the actual teppanyaki (I got steak, others got lobster tuna etc) was fairly good. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something reasonable in the air. Bill was $200 before tip for 5 people, but we got a lot of food although no drinks.

The absolute best places to get Japanese food are in Porter Square or Brookline IMHO

Porter Square -- Bluefin, located inside the Porter Exchange Mall (basically a mid-size Japanese mall filled with other various restaurants and some department stores), food is very good and reasonably priced, atmosphere is laid back.
The owners and servers are Japanese and the service is quite excellent.

Brookline-- Fugakyu. More expensive than Bluefin and nicer ambience, food is probably about as good. Huge restaurant, if you do decide to go here over Bluefin I suggest getting seated in one of the "sliding door rooms" on the first floor near the koi fish pond or at the upper far left area of the restaurant (the blue area)

Bluefin it's pretty easy to get seated (you don't need reservations) whereas you pretty much need reservations for Fugakyu.

JP Seafood Cafe on Centre Street isn't bad, either.
