Teppanyaki Buffet, Asian-American buffet restaurant in Hollywood, Florida
Teppanyaki Buffet is an Asian-American restaurant in Hollywood, Florida, serving Chinese and Japanese dishes in an all-you-can-eat format. The dining room is built around open cooking stations where chefs grill and prepare food directly in front of guests.
The teppanyaki cooking style originated in Japan and is based on grilling food on a flat iron plate heated from below. In the United States, this technique was paired with the all-you-can-eat buffet format, which became a common way of adapting Asian food traditions to American dining habits.
The name teppanyaki comes from the Japanese words for iron plate and grill, and here the cooking happens right in front of the guest. Watching the chef work at close range is part of the meal itself, not just a background detail.
The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, with slightly later closing times on Fridays and Saturdays. Arriving earlier in the evening on weekends is a good idea, as the dining room tends to fill up faster then.
Unlike traditional teppanyaki restaurants where a group sits around a single cooking plate, this place has several independent stations spread across the room. A guest can go from one station to another and order different dishes without waiting for the rest of the table.
