Ichiban Steak & Sushi is a Japanese hibachi and sushi restaurant in Alpharetta, Georgia. Two kitchens work at once here: a teppanyaki grill where a chef cooks an arm's length from your plate, and a sushi bar where fish is cut to order.
We source our products locally to support the local economy and other small business owners. All of our filet mignon, strip steak and ribeye cuts come from Georgia Hereford cattle and Georgia ranchers. Our salmon is sourced from Norway and Scotland, which we find far superior to South American salmon.
That sourcing is the whole argument. A hibachi grill hides nothing — there is no oven door, no pass, no plating station. The steak is seared in front of you and handed across. Cheap beef has nowhere to go on a flat top.

Most guests in Georgia use "hibachi" to mean dinner cooked on a flat steel grill by a chef standing across from them. In Japan that style is called teppanyaki — teppan means iron plate, yaki means grilled. A true hibachi (火郗, literally "fire bowl") is a small open charcoal brazier that Japanese households used for heating.
The restaurant format was born in Tokyo in 1945, when Misono opened a steakhouse where the chef cooked Western-style beef on a teppan in front of guests. It reached the United States in 1964, and the tableside performance — the onion volcano, the shrimp flipped into a chef's hat, the clattering spatulas — was developed here for American diners.
So both words are right. The technique on our grill is teppanyaki. The name that stuck in Alpharetta is hibachi.
