Ichibanya, Ossining

Formerly known as Okinawa Hibachi Steak House, Ichibanya has made an impression with the flavor and precision of its cuisine and chefs, respectively, on the readers of Westchester Magazine, who cast their votes to name the restaurant the home of the area's best hibachi in 2011. Surrounded by the glowing reds and golden hues of the dining room, chefs sear and manipulate meats and vegetables at traditional teppanyaki tables, cooking steaks to order and cutting heads of broccoli to resemble arms of broccoli. At the sushi bar, a line of chefs assemble maki rolls and platters of sushi and sashimi. The trickle from the fountain in the dining room provides a soothing soundtrack for fully equipped eating contests.
