Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse

This place heralds food as a work of art. You can order hibachi entrees such as steak, seafood and chicken and have it prepared on a teppanyaki grill right at your table. It’s like watching an iron chef episode of flaying knives and steaming meat that magically turns into delectable entrees in front of your eyes. It’s quite the crowd pleaser. They also offer reasonably priced sushi and bento box lunch specials. One word of caution: the restaurant is located in a pretty nondescript building facing the water in Old Town (at the end of Montgomery St).
