The word “hibachi” comes from Japanese meaning "fire bowl." Hibachi grills are a popular choice for restaurants because they can cook larger items than with charcoal. They also have an open-grate design which makes cooking easier, even if you're not very skilled at it!

The high heat and rapid cooking method used in hibachi cooking is what gives the meal its signature tenderness and robust taste.

There are a few things to consider when determining the healthfulness of hibachi grill food: The first is the type of meat that is being grilled. Chicken, fish, and shrimp are all fairly healthy options. Beef is not as lean as chicken or fish, but it can be a healthier option if it is lean beef.

Hibachi in itself can trace its origins from the term “teppanyaki”, which in the Japanese language loosely equates to “grilling over an iron plate”. The first records of hibachi-style heating devices are alluded to during the Heian period of Japanese history, dating from 794 until 1185 AD.
