Teppanyaki - Yum Yum Yum

New spot in Lexington in the old Peking Garden. Waltham Street - in the Center, right off Mass Ave. We were skeptical - Japanese (sushi) and Chinese? In the same space? Hibachi tables? Scorpion Bowls? Too much to believe. We made early reservations and expecting the bum's rush on New Year's Eve. - brought my sister (who was in from out of town) to enjoy a wonderful dinner of various Maki (spicy tuna, lobster and spider), Soba, and traditional Chinese food. We were pleasantly surprised by terrific food and great service. They did a good job on the ubiquitous Pu-Pu platter but we were really impressed by the quality and presentation of the sushi. We we also oohing and aahing as some of the beautiful dishes that passed us on their way to other tables. We had a booth by a peek-a-boo window that looked upon the hibachi room. We drank our scorpion bowls (that arrived with flaming 151 rum) entertained by the hibachi artists in the other room. All in all - I will be back. They have a cute little bar and two seating areas - Hibachi and regular. You can order Hibachi from the traditional tables as well. Check out their extensive menu
