      Yes, they only put a 1 heaping tablespoon of garlic butter in the rice for a party of 10.and charge $2
      00 extra per spoonful or $5.00 for a small container if you want more flavor and we all felt ripped off!!!

    Anxiety. I am a hibachi chef myself, i deal with what this chef deals with, new tricks kill me, but i want something new all the time, my hands shake like they are not mine, my heart beats like crazy, cant control myself anymore and I know they see it, which brings me more stress... leaving me no choice but hoping i can get over with it soon. .. I learned something... I do this coz I can! and no one else! and I do this just because I can!

      @nsmilitia 5 лет назад +16

      kairat kert hey I am a hibachi chef myself an the best way to deal with anxiety doing new tricks is actually not caring at all about the mistake. Just practice a few times in the back kitchen. Get comfortable doing it like it’s a no brainer. When u get a table don’t think, just do it. You will get satisfaction just attempting it . And if you do it perfect the first time then it’s a bonus. Every time I mess up and we all do, just play it off and say Japanese mistake or come back tomorrow and move on from it. Remember our job is 90 percent feeling and 10 percent thinking. 5 percent of thinking is how to cook each table order and the other 5 is how to keep the customers comfortable when it get extremely quiet. Remember go with the flow. Feel fluid and remember if you are comfortable so will your guests. Hope this helps you. Took me few years o understand this perspective and even doing this for 10 years I get nervous sometimes too.

      Seriously?
      It's pretty standard....nowaday it seems that any Asian guy out of work can be a Hibachi Chef.
      Back in the day (late '70s) when I went the first times as a kid to a Teppanyaki, it was in Hartford CONN if I recon, this style was not at all common and the performers were real japanese artists with decades of training...I remember them doing crazy tricks with knives and flames, manipulating eggs (still in the shell) with those paddles like crazy without braking them, the shrimp for instance would be cut, cleaned and flung directly (perfectly) in each customers plate.
      And each time was different.
      Now it's about 10-12 years that most do the same routine and some can't even do that (like this guy).

    He's nervous,i know how that feels,i used to be hibachi chef too and for hibachi chef out there and reads this comment,here's how you handle a mistake/offday/messed up your trick show,just say it out loud "ahh made in china!" I guarantee that'll give the costumers a chuckle,been working for 6 hibachi resto and it works everytime for me!

      Yes, he admitted to us that he was nervous because we were filming him. We visited the restaurant again and it so happens he cooked for us again. He wasn't nervous anymore. The video is here: ruclips.net/video/2cKPMWSh--k/видео.html

      So what do u mean by saying “made in china”? u think yourself humous? sry but i believe those chefs in china may not make such low level mistakes. if u think u’re good enough, try not using “made in china” things from now on and see how long u can handle it

    I took my girlfriend to Benihana in Chicago. I live in Tennessee, She lives in Milwaukee and I was helping my sister move dorms in Chicago. For the price you pay at benihana, I was expecting a LOT more of a show than what they give you there. I was utterly disappointed. My girlfriend had never been to a Japanese steakhouse before, so she was impressed as this was her first experience. I told her "if you think that was impressive, wait until we go to the place I like to go to in my hometown (Chattanooga, TN)". About a month later she came down to Tennessee, and we drove down to Chattanooga and went to a local place called Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. The show that the chefs do at this place is way more entertaining than what Benihana does, and even better is that the average price per person is half of what I paid at Benihana.
    In short, i think Benihana plays off the fact that they were the first ones to bring the art of Teppanyaki to the United States. In my opinion, they need to become more creative when it comes to the entertainment the chefs provide. This opinion was formed based on my personal experiences and watching several other Teppanyaki chefs in action on RUclips

    • @TravellingFoodie
      @TravellingFoodie  3 года назад

      thanks for sharing the insight. I think because Benihana is such a popular chain, they need to have standard and consistency in their show across all restaurants. Whereas standalone non-Benihana restaurants have the opportunity to go big without worries.

      @@daveware4117 yup, they're a big chain and i think have the same training to their chefs, but each chef adds their own flair to their table. Also though they learn the same tricks, the chef decides what they want to do for you. Pricing and quality should generally be consistent since they're a chain.
