Shogun
Technically speaking, Shogun is a Japanese steak house, but it serves Korean-style hibachi and BBQ meats. All of the food is cooked table-side, with professional chefs handling the teppan-yaki and BBQ-styled menu. The chefs are all showman, placing an uncracked egg on a spatula, then flipping it high in the air and catching it without cracking the yoke.
