Kobe Japan, 1918 Oak Park Blvd., Pleasant Hill. 925-705-7065, www.kobejapanrestaurant.com . This teppanyaki restaurant provides plenty of tasty fare, as well as Benihana-style spatula acrobatics and fiery spectacles, making it a winner for families
and the after-work crowd. There's a sushi lounge and sports bar, too. $$-$$$. (* * ½ on 3/8/12)
Faz, 1111 Broadway, Oakland. 510-272-1111, www.fazrestaurants.com . The newest in Faz Poursohi's chain of Mediterranean restaurants brings Persian, Italian and Greek specialties -- including cannelloni, kebabs and pasta -- to Oakland's City Center.
