Yokohama Japanese Steak House, Lawrence

Although it's named after Japan's second largest city, Yokohama Japanese Steakhouse welcomes the flavors and ingredients of China, Korea, and Thailand to its multicultural kitchen. Guests here crowd around bustling teppan tables, where colorful chefs slice, chop, and sear meals on a hibachi grill. They often pause to joke around with the customers or show off their knife skills.

Back in the kitchen, chefs also stay busy, turning out simmering curries, crunchy tempura, and stone-pot bibimbap. Guests can also take a seat at the sushi bar, where chefs roll together inventive rolls and nigiri using the freshest fish, seafood, and vegetables.
