The Japanese and American flags
Port Chester is a village in Westchester County,
New York. There are many Latino immigrants and blue-collar businesses in Port Chester, a contrast to its more affluent neighbors. Restaurants of different ethnic cuisines abound in and near Port Chester, including Asian and Japanese eateries. Many of these Japanese restaurants offer sushis and sashimis, teriyakis and teppanyakis, yakisobas and udons. The more sophisticated have hibachi tables, where chefs perform acrobatic maneuvers with knives as they cook in front of their customers.
