I ordered a carne asada skewer. They wanted to know if we wanted it cooked. We are ate at hibachi restaurant of course we want it cooked. The meat was mostly fat and gristel one piece was completely fat. The fried rice was over cooked and mushy. I outside tables were dirty. I brought to their attention that the meat was horrible and he pretty much just looked at me and said ok.

Rice is barely warm, not fully cooked with a hard core. Fish is lack of flavor. Overall underwhelming.

Great ahi poke options and other side dishes. Lots of cooked meat too. Not a place to eat inside

The poke to me was a 3/5. The customer service was a 1/5.

Quality has dropped significantly. Rice is not fresh (probably cooked a day before), poke flavor is not close to what it used be. I usually buy regular size poke, but the pokevs rice ratio isn't right. Need more rice. Also expensive for what I get. No way I'm paying $75 for low quality three poke bowls again. The flavor changes every time. Sometimes way too salty, sometimes too hot... Very very disappointing..:( I was a big big hibachi fan, but not anymore.. I will not going back again. I really really miss old hibachi!!

Salmon is delicious. But it's not delicious enough to be praised that much.

The short ribs was really salty and the poke was okay. The guy at the poke counter wasn’t the friendliest and made the experience bleh. We felt really rushed even though there wasn’t a wait and service just wasn’t friendly. We usually love short ribs but couldn’t finish it.

This is a solid takeout spot with good poke. There are spots to sit and eat outside. Make sure you ask about their ingredients. I discovered peanuts in their Thai basil poke after I started eating it and sharing with my son who has a peanut allergy. We had to rush to get some allergy meds afterwards so be careful.

Focusing on Hawaiian Poke
The second taste...
I ate it twice.
It's a combination of ginger soy sauce and spicy flying fish roe.

Very solid poke, but not the best on the island. Friendly staff and overall very good experience.

I went back to Hibachi after the pandemic and the poke has drastically declined. I remember their poke was so good before. I asked if the poke was fresh, and they said yes. I got their most popular choice poke spicy tobiko and regular ahi and added sauce to it. The fish looked old and tasted old. The color looks pink like the quality you get from previously frozen kind from safeway. The smell was off too. You can tell the fish wasn't fresh because the color looked like old fish that sat in the back of the fridge for days. I eat a lot of poke in town and been to high end sushi spots so i know what fresh ahi taste like and this wasn't it. I was pretty disappointed. The shape and sizes were all irregular and uneven and some chunks were way larger than some. The ponzu sauce didn't taste good at all, too sour no flavor. The meal was so underwhelming $18 for 2 choices. By the time i ate half, i couldn't finish it. My first time tossing poke away due to quality :( For the price point, i was disappointed and probably would not come back. Sorry Hibachi, this is my honest review.
