Why Tanuki Japanese why was this picked

We ordered hibachi filet and watched it cook at the table. Tanuki suits Powell family nights that want beef without a white-tablecloth steakhouse. Stretch pick: the format is teppanyaki, not a plated ribeye, and we list it for Powell convenience with that said out loud.

  • Hibachi filet cooked in front of you
  • Powell family table dining energy
  • Stretch pick, said out loud

Know before you go

We order hibachi filet at Tanuki Japanese when Powell family nights want beef without a white-tablecloth steakhouse. The teppanyaki cook happens at the table, so this is a stretch pick for plated steak lists, but the cut still satisfies when the format fits. Dinner for two with drinks usually stays in the $$$ range.

Hours run Monday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 4:30 to 9:00 p.m., Friday until 9:30 p.m., Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9:00 p.m. Call ahead for hibachi seating on busy nights.
