Kobé Japanese Steakhouse - Altamonte Springs

This is teppanyaki theater: chefs work the griddle in front of you with practiced flair (Onion Volcano, Beating Heart, Egg Roll), turning lunch or dinner into entertainment. The communal seating means you're locked in with strangers around a shared grill, which either sounds like your nightmare or your ideal Friday night. Go if you want spectacle and don't mind waiting a bit; skip if you need quiet and anonymity.

Lunch on a weekday if you want the show without the crowd; Friday or Saturday night if you're celebrating and don't mind the wait and energy.

Request a specific chef by name when you book—the website lists nine available (Chef Frank, Chef Nam, Chef Sato, etc.)—and they'll confirm availability by phone. You're essentially hiring your entertainer.
