How long do teppanyaki chefs train?

What is the difference between hibachi chef and teppanyaki chef?

A teppanyaki chef specializes in cooking on a flat iron griddle, often performing entertaining techniques for guests, while a hibachi chef typically cooks on a smaller, open-grill hibachi.

In most cases, teppanyaki chefs are included in the overall service charge or gratuity at the restaurant. If no service charge is included, it is customary to tip the chef directly, typically 10-20% of the bill, especially if they provide personalized entertainment and cooking skills. Tipping practices can vary depending on the establishment and local customs.
