The Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet on East 161st Street allows its patrons to run the show.

The joint offers more than 250 menu options, combining American, Chinese and Japanese cuisine. But it's the buffet-style hibachi section that draws in most people.

In a typical hibachi restaurant, the chef goes to your table to perform and serve you the dish you picked from the menu. At Hibachi Grill, there's no limit to what goes on your plate -- from pineapples, eggs and jalapenos to crab meat, chicken and shrimp. Or you can even mix and grill all those components together.

Customers can also choose from a list of sauces.

On a busy day, chefs may be cooking up to 20 meals on one gas fire grill.
