Our two Steak Hibachi entrees were cooked perfectly and the rice was very flavorful and fresh. Are here about 12:30. We were served within minutes and the employees very friendly. Five stars at least. 94 sanitation score. Thanks for a great meal!

The worst restaurant experience I've had in years. We waited almost an hour for food that never came. The take out orders such a door dash, etc took priority over dine in.the people on the counter were unapologetic, the cooks were so slow and unfriendly when asked why our food took so long. Overall, I do not recommend this place at all! It is sad because my 2 kids are alumni of UNCW and they patronized this place in the past! I do not know what changed but I will not eat here ever again and I will discourage other families as well.it is simply disheartening!
I’m teqz

I have eaten here quite a few times and really like it. They usually have three or four people working and they get your order fast. Today I went in and only one person was working. I did not even here someone in the back. I got the hibachi chicken which is pretty good. What I got today was more like steamed chicken with very little flavor. Instead of onions cut up I basically got large pieces of onion like they cut the onion in half and took it apart into domes. Part of the onion was done and part of it was raw and very strong tasting. It was nothing like the food I usually got there before. I do not see me going back for a long time. Like never

I’ve been eating at Hibachi Bistro for around 8–9 years. When they’re on point, the food is fantastic—some of the best teriyaki chicken bowls I’ve had anywhere. But the problem is consistency. For every 11/10 meal, there’s another that’s so bad it ends up in the trash. The same goes for service: sometimes great, sometimes frustrating. I want to love this place, but the swings in quality make it hard to choose them with confidence.
The demand is definitely here—this restaurant could thrive—but the experience seems to depend entirely on who’s working that day and how long they’ve been there. A stronger focus on training and being selective about consistency could make this place as reliable as it deserves to be.

The facility was clean which means everything. The staff was sweet. The food was pretty good. Broth could have packed a little more flavor but it wasn't bad and was reasonably priced.
The food isn’t cooked all the way, roaches on the floor, the bathroom is disgusting and has flying bugs in it.

This is the quintessential college food spot. While that is neither a good or bad thing in general it does mean a couple of things.
- food is cheap and the quality does not matter. What I ate was edible but far from anything considered quality.
- service was not bad but staff are a bit disinterested in anything but their immediate job requirements.
- cleanliness is lacking.
You can get a cheap meal here that has a lot of calories. Staff do their job. You may want to do take out rather than sit at a dirty table.
Great if you are a broke college kid, not a good choice if you are not a broke college kid.

The bistro is a favorite of all us locals, they have delicious Japanese style plates and sushi. They have well maintained bathrooms and dining area with tvs for you to enjoy all sports from mma to basketball. Place is great, check em out on south college or in monkey junction both are great!

Teriyaki chicken looks like boiled chicken. Quoted by staff “the longer your chicken sits, the more pale it is.” We asked to recook the chicken, and it looked the same. They also ran out of vegetables, so I was given a half of an onion cut up with my pale chicken.
