When I used to visit Silicon Valley regularly, late 1980's, there was a 
Japanese restaurant on El Camino, in or near Palo Alto, called the 
Shogun.  Its regular Japanese food was so-so, but it had a Tempura bar.  

This was wonderful.  a dozen people sit around a counter, like a Sushi 
bar, and order one of four or five tempura dinners.  The counterman would 
then make tempura for everyone who had an "open" order, one kind of 
tempura at a time.  So your piece was always fresh, hot, and delicious.  
A waitress would come around from behind and make sure you had enough 
dipping sauce, rice, beer, etc.

Has anyone heard of this in the Washington area?  (I'd travel from 
Reston to B'more or Richmond to do this.)
