Hibachi catering for Franklin Lakes events

Is this hibachi or teppanyaki, and what does the chef actually cook?
It is Japanese teppanyaki cooked on a flat-top hibachi grill — the same style as a hibachi restaurant, run in your own space. The chef cooks fried rice, vegetables, and your chosen proteins to order, and performs the knife work, the onion volcano, and the catch-it-in-your-mouth routine while cooking.
