How it's used
Distinguish this from 鐵板餐, which refers to a specific style of budget Western-style meal served on a sizzling hot metal plate in local cha chaan tengs. 鐵板燒 specifically implies the Japanese culinary performance where the chef cooks in front of the diners. It is often associated with a higher price point and a more interactive dining experience.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 鐵板餐, as the latter is a casual, fixed-menu meal rather than the interactive cooking style of 鐵板燒.
