“Food is pretty good here, but very salty. Lo mein. Both times I've been here, I've gotten the lo mein option. The lo mein is slick, hot, salty, and comes in a generous portion. Shrimp. Shrimp is stir-fried well; it has a slight crisp, snaps when you bite it, and is tender on the inside. Not dry or overcooked. Chicken. They use white meat chicken here, and white meat chicken tends to be dry. It's no surprise to me then that the chicken that came with my lo mein was also dry. White sauce. Thankfully, my meals came with a cup of their white sauce, which is thousand island-esque in flavor. The chicken is much better with it. You can use the sauce with the other protein options and veggies as well, so I recommend it if you dont mind more flavor for extra calories. Steak. The cashier asked me how I wanted my steak. I said medium. The steak came out closer to well done. The issue isnt with the doneness of the steak. The issue is that i don't think i should have been given the false expectation of choice. After all, this style of cooking is done with high heat and small strips of beef, so no matter how you want your steak, I feel like it's going to come out well done each time. That said, the steak was tender and delicious. Chicken wings. Augusta has a lot of great spots for wings, and competition for outstanding wings is stiff. Yet, Ms. Hibachi manages to outdo the other 4 or 5 other places ive been to for wings. Plump, juicy, and flavorful, the wings here are my favorite in Augusta at the time I write this review. The restaurant also does something that is a very big deal in my book. A lot of times, restaurants will dump hot food directly into takeout containers. This causes the food to melt the container, and you to either risk eating whatever chemicals have now been transferred to your food, or throw away the portions that melted the container. Though the wings were cooked to order here, they allowed the wings to cool sufficiently before boxing them. After a 20 minute drive home, the wings were still hot, but did not melt the container.
I'll keep coming back, but not very often. As good as the food is, I'll probably need to run ten miles to burn off each meal. Definitely a guilty pleasure and not an everyday thing.“
