“Great neighborhood take out restaurant. Chicken lo mein, crab rangoons, and won ton soup is really good. First time getting Mongolian chicken here- ordered medium spicey and that was great but other than that the chicken didnt have much flavor. Have ordered here before and likely will again. Good service and good food.“

“We (5 people) ate an early dinner here yesterday. Nice ambiance. We tried a large selection: edamame, ebi shumai, salmon onigiri, fried squid, ebi tempura, miso ramen, chicken katsu bento box, tonkotsu ramen, teriyaki don, red bean ice cream and sasadango. Everything was delicious. Our youngest liked it so much, we’re coming back for their birthday. Our server Natalie was wonderful also.“

“Best hibachi in Columbus. I have gone here for lunch consistently for a couple of months, and everytime I eat it in the office someone comments on how good it smells. Each week it seems like another coworker wants to try it and they have never disappointed! Their chicken is always tender and fresh, the steak is legit and their veggies are always perfectly cooked. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“Very good Sushi Fresh an very Flavorful“

“We get assorted food, not salty, this is key. We have been to many places and that is one of the main issues, you use salt to add flavor to the spice, not the other way around, very good.“

“I love the lady at the front - she's phenomenal ☺️ this place has the best rice -lawwwwddd it's cooked just right - they are literally the best hibachi place I've had in a while !! 5stars ! ( Try it you will NOT regret it )“

“Was at this plaza to get information from FedEx, just dropped in for a snack to try the food, and it turned out really good. I got the steak lo mein which is surprisingly good. The steak is juicy and tender with generous portions. Lo mein is with the wok flavor in black pepper sauce. It also comes with 2 sauces, one cilantro, and the other one is kinda like salad dressing with the sour touch, very enjoyable.“

“We had a VIP after party event at the Switch. Everyone at Crafted for You was great to work with and the event was enjoyed by all of our guests. Nice venue!“

“Soooo good! Came here before walking to Kemba for a concert! I like how Kooma is tucked away to the side. Quiet vibe, kind staff, delicious food. My friend and I were sat promptly and each ordered three rolls. All absolutely incredible! I will be back to try some of their hot items. 🤩“

“It was Valentine's Day, and City Barbecue was about to close because they didn't have enough food. Wow!My daughter wanted to go there but that wasn't happening. I mentioned Hibachi Express, and she was fine with it.We ordered the food, and it took a while, but it was ok because it gave me and my daughter time to talk.They are usually prompt with the food.My daughter was very pleased with her shrimp and salmon ? and I was good with my chicken and shrimp.“

“Amazing sushi and great staff! Definitely come check it out“

“We were blown away by the quality of the sushi and the exceptional service at Sushi Factory. The staff were friendly and very attentive, and the food was truly exceptional. We will be recommending this spot to everyone we know! We have been going here for years but things have gotten EVEN better and the food was beyond delicious. Highly recommended!!! 10/10!“

“I ordered veg and chicken, veg egg roll and crab Rangoon. All of it was delicious! Very little protein portion but a heck of a lot of rice! For the veggie hibachi I really wish it came w/ more veggies. I ordered online, there is an option to add (for a fee) or exclude protein and vegetables. Next time I’ll pay for more veggies to see if the additional portion is worth it. The left over rice will easily feed two. I’ll fry a steak and steam some broccoli to add to all this left over rice for dinner tomorrow.“

“The staff here was amazing! So friendly and warm. The food was so good, I can't see myself having sushi anywhere else in Columbus for a LONG time!“

“Friendly Service and tasty food.“

“Delicious and fresh! Will definitely order again!“

“Good Food.“

“The bubble tea is so yummy!! I'm always here 😊 usually once a week“

“I ordered a teriyaki chicken kid meal coming with an egg roll and a can of soda. The teriyaki chicken tasted amazing without too much salt and oil. The juicy cabbage improved the taste.
The room was clean. WiFi was available. Service was fast. There were also sushi rolls, daily specials, and lunch specials.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Teryaki Chicken. Mary who is the Gm was the most wonderful and helpful individual. She makes the place light up! Mary gave me 1000 percent the best done in experience! Thank you Teryaki Chicken and Mary!!!🥰🙌🏼“

“This isn't a place I would choose to eat unless I want noise and no tables. The food, however, is better than Gengigo. The meat is fresh tasting, cut against the grain, and not filled with grissel. Served with an egg fried rice, side of cabbage, and 2 sides of sauces. *Please comment for any allergies. They might be able to make suggestions. You can opt not to get the cabbage too. There's a lot of customized choices available. It's a large portion that is filling, flavorful, and healthy. Would highly recommend to most.

Dietary restrictions: Ask. Allergens could be a challenge.

Kid-friendliness: I would order ahead or come back at the given time for it to be ready.“

“YOOOO this place is 🔥🔥🔥 The co-owner was insanely friendly and let me try everything since it was my first time, didn’t even have to ask. He makes all his sauces from scratch and OMG 🤯 Do yourself a favor and give this man some business. You will NOT be disappointed. $7.99 till 4pm too?! Say less 👏“

“Love 💕 the taste, great place to eat!“

“Enjoyed my birthday dinner, our Chef Isaiah did a great job, food was delicious! Could have used drink refills a little more often especially with the price of drinks. It’s on the pricey end but with my birthday coupon it helped for sure. Fun special occasion dinner!“

“Ate a late lunch here with my sister tonight and the service was amazing. Our server (cashier) Kyjuan H. Was amazing and so nice, polite and courteous not mention very fine. As long as he’s working there I’ll definitely be back to spend all my coins. 🫣 The food was definitely good too and fresh.“

“WOW… House of Japan near Polaris Mall in Columbus, Ohio was absolutely packed for Mother’s Day, but they still had us seated in about 30 minutes which was impressive with how busy they were.

The hibachi experience was phenomenal. Watching the chef cook everything fresh right in front of us made it a fun experience instead of just dinner. I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium and it came out perfect. Great food, great atmosphere, generous portions, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with the crowd.

If you’re in the Columbus area and want a fun dinner spot, House of Japan at Polaris is definitely worth checking out.“

“I went to the soft opening today and was blown away with how great everything was. From friendly counter staff to beyond amazing food! I can’t wait for the Grand Opening because all of my coworkers were jealous when I brought my food back to work. Also excited to take my family there! Great job all around!“

“I have been all around Columbus looking for a great habachi place to eat and Buckeye Habachi is the best in the city. Best prices and the food looks great, they show you the food before stuffing it in a bag, and itz a nice big plate of good. They are not stingy with the rice or the noodles, im very satisfied and full every single time. No matter which location I go to. And they remember their customers which is a super plus. Don't go anywhere else, go to Buckeye habachi i promise you will be happy“

“Then and now 💕 Happy birthday son! Our favorite Japanese steakhouse in Columbus 😇🫶 food is always great service is always excellent and friendly! Been coming here for 10+ years, never a disappointment ❤ Until next time 🫡“
