This just in: “Dynamic, Expansive Japanese Concept Provides Wonderful Texas-Sized Entertainment Experience, with Fun for All Ages and Affordable Prices”
That’s the headline on a press release announcing (warning: groovy violin & organ music) Hibashi Teppan Grill, Sushi & Bar. (And Beyond, and Stuff, and Such.) Finally “immeasurable numbers of North Texas can enjoy the marvelous and fresh flavors of Japanese cuisine.” Yessiree, there is certainly not enough sushi in North Texas. Besides food, Hibashi will be eatertainment-centric: hibachi grilling at the table, a 40-foot sushi bar, and a “Las Vegas-style” cocktail bar in a 12,000 square foot restaurant just across from the Galleria. Food will be flown in from Japan. Somehow this makes me miss Benihana. Dallas is down to one. (Is Irving still open?)
