When you dine at Nakato, you will not only enjoy a delicious meal, but you will delight in the skills of the expert chefs as they light up the hibachi grill creating cuisine tableside. Tender filet mignon, juicy New York strip steaks or flavorful chicken will be transformed into beautifully prepared dishes as you watch. For seafood lovers, jumbo shrimp, plump scallops, rich salmon and red snapper will be seared to perfection. If you prefer a vegetarian option, fresh vegetables will be sliced, diced, and grilled, and tofu can be added to the mix to add a protein punch.

This traditional style of meal preparation is known as teppan yaki. Teppan refers to the metal plate on which the meal is cooked, and yaki means grilled, broiled, or pan-fried.
