Dinner 12/13/10— Hibachi of Valley Forge 240 W. Swedesford Road Berwyn, PA

Tonight we chose Hibachi Restaurant in the Valley Forge area.  Hibachi has multiple locations in the Philadelphia area and puts on the familiar Japanese steakhouse “show” when cooking hibachi style in front of the customers.  If I choose to eat at Hibachi, I generally will choose this location rather than Downingtown which is closer to me only because the Downingtown location always seems to have a wait. 
If you are going to choose Hibachi, Monday night is a great night to consider because their Monday night specials are hard to beat and you will see that with the prices described below.
I chose the Fillet Mignon and Chicken dinner ($13.95 on Monday evenings!).  This meal is served with a complimentary small tossed salad as an appetizer.  The dressing for the salad is a special Hibachi blend which is a bit on the sweet side; however, very delicious.  One recommendation would be to order the dressing on the side because they put a lot on the salad!
Hibachi offers each customer with their dinner a 2 shrimp sampler, fried rice and oriental vegetables.  This is served a few minutes before your desired selection.  All of the above was delicious and the chicken and fillet were done to perfection. 
The chef performing the cooking show tonight was very good and was able to spin an egg quite nicely on the grill and then also crack the egg perfectly on his spatula.  This is a neat show for children if they have never seen something like this. 
My companion chose the Fillet Mignon and Scallops ($13.95) and again this was excellent also.  The Fillet was done as ordered and the scallops were perfectly executed on the grill. 
Both of these entrees are normally priced more appropriately at $27.95 other evenings.  Hibachi does a nice job at this location and was very good this evening!
Total before tax and tip was $27.90.
