What is the difference between Tokyo Dining & Teppan Edo?

Would like to make reservations for one of these, Tokyo Dining & Teppan Edo... but I don't know what the differences are at all. Anyone able to help me out?

Tokyo Dining is a restaurant with a set menu - sushi, tempura. Teppen Edo is more of a Japanese steakhouse i.e. Benihana, where they cook the food on a grill in front of you. They are both good in their own way. HTH!

If you want a noisy (not in a bad way), entertaining, interacting with the chef, fluttering knives and flying shrimp tails and onion volcanoes, everything cooked on the flat grill and the only true difference between the dishes is whether you choose beef, shrimp, etc - then you want Teppan Edo. This style of cooking/presentation is called teppanyaki, hence the restaurant's name, and the pp is absolutely correct - this is what Benihana is famous for.

If you want quieter, entertain yourselves, order a dinner of either cooked (tempura for example) or uncooked (sushi or sashimi) or some combination thereof, no chef in sight, private table (no sharing with other parties) - then you want Tokyo Dining.

We've done both, and each has its own charms. For our crew, the pickier eaters and the meat-and-potatoes-types tend to be happier at Teppan Edo, but myself personally I prefer Tokyo Dining.

We loved Tokyo Dining. Wonderful food and service. And if you are paying OOP, its a very affordable meal by Disney standards. Also, it has some amazing views of Illuminations. I just sort of lost my fascination with flying steaknives a long time ago. I get enough over stimulation and entertainment at Disney, so Tepan Edo is out for me!
