J MOS Food Truck Hibachi Review

Pro tips

• Hibachi cooks use high heat (400°F+) and keep ingredients moving constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
• Proteins are typically cubed or sliced thin for faster, more even cooking directly on the griddle surface.
• Seasoning is applied liberally and often finished tableside with butter or soy-based sauces for flavor and theatrical effect.
• Grid placement matters: proteins start in the center, vegetables pushed to cooler zones, allowing the chef to manage different cook times simultaneously.

Substitutions

• Chicken → shrimp or steak (other featured proteins)
• Steak → chicken or shrimp (protein swap for preference or dietary need)
• Standard vegetables → mushrooms, zucchini, onions, or broccoli (adaptable griddle vegetables)

Equipment

flat-top griddle or teppanyaki griddle · long metal spatulas (hibachi cooking tools)
