The Modern Hibachi Restaurant Was Shaped By An Ancient Prototype - Tasting Table
Briefly

"Ramen, sushi, tempura ... Japanese culture has given the world an incredible variety of cuisines, including one many Americans know as hibachi, which is technically called teppanyaki."
"In those days, the hibachi was an indoor fire bowl that people filled with burning charcoal to warm their rooms and heat water for tea, later evolving to grill food in Samurai culture."
"Unlike traditional Japanese dining where portions are smaller, American hibachi restaurants serve larger meals and have adopted skewering methods and 'yum-yum sauce', a creamy blend created by American chefs."
