Keoki's Oriental Restaurant, Yakima, WA P36
 
To my knowledge, Keoki's has the only Teppanyaki table in this area. In this case, the grille and the work area is surrounded by a counter with seating. The steaks or seafood, along with some fresh vegetables are cooked at the grill, then served. While it is entertaining to sit at the Teppanyaki table, don't expect to be entertained with the flying food, flying salt and pepper shakers, and knife work by the chef as you would at a Benihana!

The menus for lunch and dinner are relatively small. One of my favorite items there for lunch is their Special Chow Mein. It is a stir fry with soft noodles, Chinese barbecued pork, shrimp, and an assortment of vegetables. Another good dish for lunch is the Moo Goo Gai Pin (chicken stir fried with vegetables and mushrooms). Either dish is under $6.00.

The dinner menu included items from the Teppanyaki Table such as New York Hibachi Steak, Yaki-Tori, Teriyaki Steak, Grilled Shrimp, to name a few. Other Chinese dishes, mostly stir fried, combinations and family style dinners are available. Japanese dishes are limited to Shrimp Tempura and Sukiyaki. All dinner items were under $13.00.

The very small wine list consisted of some the better Washington State offerings but I am told that they have another stash of selected wines for their frequent clients.
