“I was babysitting my niece and asked her what she wanted for dinner. We talked through a few things before she said hibachi. We love going to a hibachi grill! Asiana is a bit different than other hibachi grills I have been to. It's unique and fun. Their actual hibachi grill area is smaller than I thought it would be but it was perfect for this restaurant setting. They had tables all over and they still cooked your food on this hibachi grill regardless of where you sat. My niece and I were the only ones sitting at a hibachi grill when we first got there, so we got to watch our chef make not just our food but the food for others who were sitting in the restaurant and also to go/delivery orders. The only slight disappointment was that our chef didn't do much of a "show" like we normally experience - especially with my niece sitting with me. It's ok though, we still enjoyed it. I had the filet hibachi and my niece had the kids shrimp hibachi (this kid can eat her weight in shrimp). Onions don't agree with my belly so I asked for no onions in the rice and veggies. They were very wonderful to accommodate. We got our rice, then our protein, and then our veggies on our plate. The kids hibachi comes with a choice of soup or salad while the adult one comes with both. My niece got the salad and our salads and my soup came out before chef started cooking. It was delicious - I love the ginger dressing! After all of our food was plated, I had to wait before I was able to ask for some yum yum sauce. They just handed me the entire bottle instead of portioning it out, which was fine by me. Overall, we had a great visit. It was still $50+ (after tip) for my niece and I, but we had a great evening together. She gave it a 10 out of 10 and double thumbs up.“

“Best take out Chinese in Louisville. The food is always served fresh, hot and fast. The portions are huge! There are several other Chinese takeout places closer to my house but I will drive the extra miles to get food from Oriental Cafe. The hibachi chicken is my favorite.Just updating to say that this is still my favorite place to go for Chinese takeout. The owners there are so sweet and friendlyOver the past 7 years I have discovered many new favorite dishes, that I honestly can’t pick just one. I don’t think there is probably anything on the menu that doesn’t taste great. The delivery drivers are always friendly and fast when they bring food to my place of employment. They recently have started doing catering and the office I work in has used it. Even with the all the large portions of entrees, lomein noodles, fried rice an appetizers, the food was hot, fresh and amazing, and arrived right at the time we asked for it to be. The delivery driver that brought all of the food was very friendly and helpful.And I love that I can also order from DoorDash to have it delivered to my home.“

“If you're looking for an experience a little bit different to drive thru fried food. This is definitely a place to add to your list. We visited pretty late last night around 8, and there was only 1 car waiting. The staff was so friendly and quick that they took our order, and then we were able to take a buzzer to our car and hang out and wait. Once the food was ready, it came with a delicious duck sauce? Eel sauce? Mayo? Some sort of sauce, and it was delicious. The meat was well cooked, and our food was hot and tasted better than fried what not. Thank you!“

“Wow oh Wow. There's a reason this place is held in such high regard. For starters, I typically don't like Japanese food but I would eat Enso's food off the floor. Yes it's that good. Food: there was not a single dish I did not enjoy. Everything I had was exploding with flavor and exceeded expectations. I was going to go into extreme detail about how much I enjoyed each and every dish but as of two weeks ago (mid March 2024) the menu was updated and a lot of the things I had are no longer available. The octopus hush puppies are still available and VERY delicious. The toppings really bring this dish over the top and make it something special. Although I am sad to see my favorite dish (creamy scallop udon) no longer on the menu, I am equally excited to have a reason to come back and try other things. Service: impeccable. My waiter was kind and helpful and well versed in the menu. If you have any questions about portions or menu be sure to ask because this group is amazing and will get you answers! Atmosphere: I came on a weeknight about 10 minutes after they opened and I was the only one there until closer to 5. The space is very simple but sleek. Price: This is where I advise to understand what you're getting into. This is not a fast casual spot and one shouldn't expect those prices. But the prices are not outrageous for the quality/quantity of food you get. It was around $100 for enough food for 2 people. Obviously this is where it can vary depending on what dishes you get, but trust me, you'll want to try a skewer or the octopus hush puppies. Overall: amazing food and I can't wait to bring my husband back for a date night.“

The new location upscaled their service and I've really enjoyed the menu items added since their move. Walkable part of the city so it's easy to waste an hour waiting for a table along the streets of the highlands.Parking: Pretty busy part of Bardstown Rd, when in doubt turn down a random side street and find a spot.“

We have also had the California roll and shrimp tempura that were good. We all know hibachi is huge portions. They have a sitting fee so you can share the meal but still get your own soup & salad.

It's a smooth 30 minute drive from my house but I go about every 2 months if not more. I usually order with plain white rice. I also like the crab Rangoon! I want to try some of their tofu next. I think it's a great spot. I usually get uber eats of it if I'm not feeling up to the drive.“

Had the mixed vegetables in brown sauce with white rice and really enjoyed it.The vegetables were served in their own container with a top in it to keep hot. The rice was on a Styrofoam place of its own.Unfortunately, when we each ordered water, we weren't initially told they had no machine or tap water as their soft drink dispenser was broken. We paid for bottled water. He was nice enough to let me have a second bottle as I drink a lot of H2O these days. Would definitely go back if in the area.Parking: Shopping center lot so lots of it available.“

“My first experience with Kyushu and I'll be coming back for the hibachi grill experience. Reservations can be made for parties of six or more, and the table holds 10-12 ppl. We were seated with others and it didn't deter my party of five from enjoying time with each other. Warning! The grill creates a warm experience. I'd recommend dressing lighter, even in colder weather. I was thankful for my t-shirt and my cheeks still flushed. I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken which came with a plate of rice, veggies, soup and salad. Next time I'm skipping the soup and asking for double salad, a tip I learned from a friend. Lots of sauces are available as well. My friends chose salmon and steak, and everyone said their meal was great. Wine, beer, cocktails and other food items are available. If you aren't doing hibachi they have other seating for menu options. Service was friendly and the show of food being cooked was fun. Lots of standard jokes, bursts of fire and catching rice in your mouth. The decor is simple and humble. This experience is mainly around the food.“
