I don't know anything about Shogun. Sheryl will have to tell about that one.

When you go into Kobe's you'll have 6 other people sit at the table with you. Sometimes more. The table is really long and you have just enough room for your plate to sit and the rest of the table is cooking surface. The waitress brings in a basket with little washrags all nice and warm for you to wash your hands with. Then she takes your order. Later she'll bring in soup and it's a really clear broth with bits of mushroom and onions in it. Then she'll bring in salad and it has chow mein noodles and a ginger dressing on it. After you're finished with all of that your cook comes in and starts heating up the stove. First he'll cook the fried rice (the rice is already cooked so he just fries it). While he's doing that he'll do some little tricks with the eggs. You get to eat that while he's cooking the other stuff. Next he'll start cooking the shrimp and everyone gets an appetizer of shrimp to start with. Then he'll cook the chicken, salmon, steak, lobster, what ever everyone at your table ordered. As they cook he'll spoon them onto your plate. They also cook zucchini, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. After you're done with all of that they bring you a little cup of hot green tea and later a small bowl of pineapple sherbert. It's a very interesting experience.
