Teppanyaki is Japanese iron-griddle cooking where a trained chef prepares your meal at the table with dramatic flair — flipping shrimp, creating onion volcanoes, and juggling utensils. In Las Vegas, Benihana has multiple locations (the original chain concept, great for groups), and several independent Japanese restaurants in Chinatown offer teppanyaki. It's one of the most popular group dining options in the city.
