Difference Between Hibachi and Teppanyaki Cooking Styles

Hibachi and Teppanyaki are popular Japanese cooking methods that use hot grids to cook food quickly in front of guests. Though they seem very similar, there are some key differences between these two entertaining cooking styles.

The main difference is the grill they use. Hibachi grills are small and made for individual cooking. The chef will prepare your meal right in front of you on your little grill. Teppanyaki grills are much larger and made for cooking for a group. With teppanyaki, you sit around a big flat grill while the chef prepares meat, veggies, and other ingredients in a fun, theatrical way.
