DO I HEAR BETTER THAN BENIHANA!? Seriously this is a HIDDEN GEM! Prices are really good based on flavor and quantity you are getting! ABSOLUTELY YES. And the rice… my GOODNESS. Don’t even get me started on that piece of heaven they prepare. Seriously wish I could gatekeep but I want them to THRIVE (as they should) so they are around forever!!! The cherry on top you ask? The customer service is superb! Mario was very nice from the first time I went! They seriously won a client for life!YOU WON’T REGRET GOING! Thank me later!!!
Check out their weekly and monthly specials. Definitely a great deal and very good service. My new favorite Hibachi Spot!!!

Perfect place to get fast-casual teppanyaki/hibachi (for those who want the food but not the show LOL) They have Premium Plates which include 3 proteins + rice, veggies, soup, and salad. The average price is around $50. Portions are HUGE and I would say that these are good to share between 2 people (maybe even 3).I tried Premium #5 which has NY steak, Chicken, and Shrimp. We substituted white rice for fried rice (extra $3) - highly recommend. Great flavors and very delicious! Make sure to ask for their house sauces (they have 6 different ones!!)Also got to try their stir-fried shrimp with yakisoba noodles which was soo good. Their ahi tuna over white rice is a leaner option but imo doesn't have as much flavors as the others do.Arigato Bato is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking so you shouldn't have any issues finding a spot :)

Are you guys high? Or just paid reviews? This place is way over priced. It’s meat with rice basically. Quit paying and encouraging for price gouged food. You want to over charge move your restaurant to a richer

Chef Mario was accommodating and the food was great! The atmosphere and look of the restaurant is beautiful with bold colors and a great design. The fried rice was flavorful, and everything tasted pretty good. We got the chicken and shrimp hibachi with vegetables, as well. If you’re looking for a great Japanese Hibachi restaurant, visit Arigato Bato in Bellflower. Tell him I sent you!Parking: No problem finding a spot!

Delicious hibachi! The chicken was so tender. The meat was cooked perfectly. And the flavor of the rice, veggies, and meat was perfect. A little pricey but seems high quality and worth it.
I don't really go often to Teppanyaki restaurants, but glad I tried this one out. There are a lot of options to choose from (Filet Mignon, NY Steak, Lobster, Chicken, Scallops and Shrimp). Whether it's Premium Plates or Combos. We had the Yakisoba Noodles with NY Steak and veggies. They provide different sauces if you want to add teriyaki, spicy mayo, yum yum sauce , and ginger sauce. It was actually good to combine a few of them together. My favorite was the teriyaki and the ginger sauce. We also had the fried rice with shrimp, which was really good. I think it would be even better to add some filet mignon with it. By the way, the Gyoza appetizers were so crispy. I think that's how they should be made. That's just my preference.So if you're in the area go check them out!

Wanted to try this place, but apparently the owner had left for a quick errand and the chef did not know how to use the ordering system or the credit card machine so I can try it.Giving three stars to be fair and not disrupt too much their perfect run (do you have five stars at the time of this).But I must admit, leaving your chef who happens to be on train with her to take orders. It's not very becoming up at five star yelp restaurant. The chef said the owner was to be gone for 20 minutes, so this is an a matter of a quick restroom break.

Everyday of the week I can eat up Full menu to choose from I can have a different dish each day. Start off with the two protein combo and another day get the noodles. Fried rice is good too!This huge flavorful platting located in BellflowerGo check it out.What I ate* Two Protein Combo | when I saw scallops on the menu, I had to get it. I definitely wanted to pair it up with Filet Mignon. surf turf is the way to go. Between the two, the filet mignon is a must with any other duo you get. My friend enjoyed the chicken a lotThis plate comes with steamed rice, vegetables and a sauce of your choice.I had to try all the sauce* Vegetable Noodles | can't go wrong with noodles and more vegetables is always a plus for me.* Fried Rice | not mine but my friend got it and OMG it was so good. Looks like a simple looking fried rice but it's pack with flavors. I actually regret not getting that. It is a lot better than the noodz
