The Take
Order the sirloin or filet with mixed vegetables only and nothing else if you insist on going. Everything else is the chain's standard play to sell spectacle over clean food.
Families chase the 1984-era hibachi performance while default vegetable oil hits the flat top and fried rice lands on every plate by default. The entertainment exists to distract from the industrial ingredients.
The Verdict
The knife show and onion volcano deliver reliable theater for groups that want dinner and a performance. Everything else follows the classic hibachi template that loads plates with seed oils and starchy sides.
Request the sirloin or filet with mixed vegetables only. Ask for steamed rice or extra veggies and whether butter can go on the grill instead.
