I hadn't been to a hibatchi place like this since the Clinton Administration was in office. But the Entertainment Book had a very good coupon, so the Mrs. & I gave it a whirl on our date night.
It was rather empty on a week night so we got special attention. Our chef wasn't Japanese (or Asian at all) but he spoke with that accent, which was funny. A lot of the jokes were kinda dated but I felt like I had to laugh at them just to be a good sport. His knife skills were pretty good. You can tell the rookies by how they just slap the utensils around aimlessly without purpose. But our chef did well, including building the classic onion volcano and the wall of fire.
My wife had the chicken. I had the scallops and calamari. They were both surprisingly yummy, mainly due to the sauces that came with the plates. Portion sizes were reasonable (I remember always leaving hungry after Benihanas). My wife and I were entertained by the cheesiness of it all. I just wished there were new tricks and new jokes to go with the updated food.
