Little hole in the wall can’t even lie. Teriyaki and hibachi chicken is amazing. I just tried the chicken udon and it’s top tier. Nice thick and chewy noodles 5 stars. Forgot to ask for no zucchini though😭.

First time writing a review and I wish it wasn't for this place since I often eat here. Called to place a order and was told they close at 8. I was sitting in the parking lot since I was near by, and let the lady know this. The response?, " yeah sure whatever". I understand working in food service, but the smart remark back was unnecessary. Food is always good here so as long as you get someone good, you're alright.

This was the worst hibachi I have ever eaten. I ordered hibachi vegetables. The vegetables were mushy and flavorless. The carrots were shredded so small you couldn't taste them. The rice was barely passable. I was really craving hibachi mushrooms and carrots for lunch. I was so disappointed.

Ate here a few months ago and I remember really liking it, so was willing to try it again tonight. Uggghhh...don't think I'll be returning. The sushi wasn't bad per se, but I can tell it's pre-packaged and shipped in from somewhere else, as it has the exact same packaging as the sushi sold in the market at the university I attended. Not really worth paying for in a restaurant.
The hibachi chicken was pretty much just onions (with a decent helping of chicken tbf)--I swore there were more vegetables when I ate here last time so I don't know what's up. I'm just starting to feel like I hallucinated hibachi places actually having good flavorful food with lots of veggies thrown in...is this some new Mandela effect thing? 🤔 Anyway, I guess if I'm in the mood for Asian/sushi near my apartment I'll just stick to Rockin Rolls for the time being.

Service was good. Place was pretty much empty so I was able to walk right up to the front and ordered but I knew something was up when I placed my order for hibachi shrimp & steak and it was ready in 2min. Steak is over cooked and chewy, barely any veggies mostly onions, shrimp tasted like they thawed it out and put it on the plate. Absolutely no seasoning. Way better hibachi elsewhere with the same price point and larger portions. It’s located in a plaza with plenty of other options and the main street it’s on has plenty of restaurants. I love hibachi but this will be my first and last time here.

I should have looked at reviews before ordering. The service was fine. Everyone working the front seemed to be in their late teens. No complaints. Young man answered the questions I had about the food. The food was absolutely not worth returning for another visit. I ordered one hibachi steak and one hibachi chicken and shrimp. This was the driest steak I have EVER had. You can see in the picture how dry it is. Without sauce it would have been inedible. The shrimp did not taste fresh and I could not eat more than a few bites of it. The rice was fine; the only decent things in the plates. Portions are small. I usually don't eat an entire hibachi plate at once. The plates look bulky only because there is a thick later of onions and zucchini under the protein. This is among the worst hibachi spots in the area.
