Hibachi Factory West Nyack, West Nyack

With two main dining rooms, Hibachi Factory is both a restaurant and a theater of sorts. In the first room, patrons can settle into a seat and enjoy unique Asian-inspired entrees, such as prawns sautéed in a sweet mango sauce or an extra-hot beef, chicken, and shrimp curry. The second dining room, however, features something a bit more special. Dressed in crisp white chef uniforms, hibachi masters take their positions behind a flat-top grill, encircled by an audience of hungry diners. Patrons order chicken, scallops, or perhaps a couple of plump lobster tails, and from there the show begins. Flames dance from the grill as the chefs sear filet mignon, salmon, and swordfish, serving each entree with a traditional Japanese-style onion soup, salad, and plenty of noodles and fried rice. The entertainers then take a bow, leaving patrons with an ice-cream dessert and a signed poster from their European tour.
