Bisuteki Tokyo, Cambridge

The chefs of Bisuteki Tokyo don't merely serve Japanese cuisine—they also invite guests in on the action with sushi lessons and tableside teppanyaki prep. Seafood fans savor Boston's oceanic proximity, as well as the precision of Bisuteki's fine sushi creators, with fresh cuts of just-caught tuna and salmon wrapped in picture-perfect rolls. Steel flashes in mid-air, and flames explode and recede as the teppanyaki chefs prepare four-course, steak-based meals with a sense of showmanship. Other dishes, like avocado tempura and creamy crab rangoon, round out every meal with small bites.
