About

Okayama Steakhouse in Chula Vista's Eastlake district delivers teppanyaki-style hibachi dining from a purpose-built grill room at 1480 Eastlake Parkway, where chefs cook proteins and vegetables on flat-top steel griddles directly in front of seated guests. The hibachi filet mignon, chicken, shrimp, and steak entrées arrive alongside fried rice and stir-fried noodles prepared on the same griddle surface, a theatrical cooking format that complements the more conventional table-service Asian dining at Bento & Noodles Eastlake nearby. Each chef performs the full teppanyaki repertoire — onion volcano, shrimp tail flip, egg spin, spatula percussion — while cooking multi-course meals that move from soup and salad through protein to fried rice. The appetizer menu includes gyoza, edamame, and sashimi plates for guests seeking a quieter start before the griddle show begins. Private event bookings accommodate birthday dinners and group celebrations at the communal hibachi tables, a party-hosting format also served by Chula Vista event spaces such as Casa Sur Hacienda. The flat-top griddle maintains a surface temperature above 450°F during service, searing proteins in a thin layer of soybean oil to produce the caramelized exterior and juice-locked interior that distinguish teppanyaki from conventional pan-frying.
