Ah-So Steak & Sushi House of Japan isn’t just about the food — it’s also about the atmosphere. The eatery contains a boisterous teppanyaki room, where a chef makes your meal right in front of you. While there’s an ample selection of sushi, opt for the entertaining teppanyaki dinner, which includes soup, salad, fried rice and vegetables. The menu also contains scrumptious shrimp, chicken, beef and lobster-tail options, and the scallops ($19.95) are plentiful and grilled to a perfect crisp.
