Uh... I guess this is sort of novel if you've never ever been to any Japanese steak house ever once in your life ever at all. Extra star because that's one of the few times I've seen the lava trick work well.
Yeah, this really needed to have some kind of an injury to be worth spending a minute of my life on. It was kind of impressive the first time we took my grandmom to one of these places, though.
Also, even if this justified a WTF, it would be a "WTF Benihana". I never saw anything like this in Japan until after the 8th chuuhai, and he was just some salaryman, not the chef.
And that's not a hibachi. That's a teppan. OK TIME TO GET MY ASS BACK TO THAT WIKIPEDIA TALK PAGE THOSE PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT DORAEMON AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

No, fuck you. Also, fire is pretty neat. So hey. Four stars.
Would have been more impressive if he'd used his knives to quickly stack up the rings of onion instead of putting them down carefully by hand. Would have been even better if the "that's a lot of oil, dude" turned out to be accurate foreshadowing.
