The difference between tenpanyaki and okonomiyaki?

Question:


Well if there was an okonomiyaki and a western style tenpanyaki (where they throw stuff and do show) how would you explain the difference to customers?

Customers would obviously think, ...well tenpanyaki got more show therefore might as well go there.
How would you upsell okonomiyaki over tenpanyaki?

Answer:


Teppanyaki is anything that's cooked on teppan (literally iron (steel) plate). Okonomiyaki is salty pancake that's usually cooked on teppan, so technically it qualifies as teppanyaki but is usually considered as a different category of dish.

Okonomiyaki is cheaper, more of a everyday sort of food than teppanyaki whose price ranges from so-so to expensive.
