“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.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food at Domo is excellent! Sushi is fresh and tasty, menu is creative, and the atmosphere is fun! We recently celebrated there with a big group, and everyone raved about the food and had such a great time. Staff was attentive and friendly too! So happy we chose Domo!“

“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 )“

“Our first time. The two of us shared the steamed shrimp and vegetables with garlic sauce. We shared a large seafood hot & sour soup. Both dishes we delicious . The shrimps were plentiful , nice sized , and tasty . The hot&sour soup was packed with mushrooms, shrimp, scallops, tofu, and artificial crab. It was the best we've ever had !

Portions. were generous. The price was fair for what was served. . Our server was very efficient and friendly.

For carry out I'd give it s 5. For eat-in its a 3.5 because its small and somewhat crowded with 3 small booths and two tables amongst several large aquariums and large house plants.. However, it was kind of quaint in a quirky way.“

“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.“

“Friendly Service and tasty food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place. Highly recommend the shrimp gyoza and pineapple sticky rice. Everything here is great though.“

“Delicious and fresh! Will definitely order again!“

“Good habachi at great prices. You get great food portions too. There are low wait times and you can call ahead. Wait time is about 10 minutes. I usually just order when I get there as I've had difficulty ordering with the lady that answers the phone, but the young guy is good at taking orders on the phone. Ordering in person seems to work better for me.I've had chicken hibachi and chicken and steak hibachi. Both dishes were good. I order from here about every 10 days, and each time, my food is consistently good. Parking is not an issue as it sits in a small plaza of about 4 units.

Parking: Small parking area but it works since most people are getting take out.“

“This is by far the best sushi in central Ohio. Able, fresh fish, atmosphere… everything you want out of a good sushi place. And the prices are VERY reasonable for Columbus. Big portions, big hearts. This place is the best.“

“Good Food.“

“The service is incredible, and the choices ARE AMAZING!“

“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!“

“Great food with large portions. The staff is friendly and they were more than accommodating when they forgot to include part of our order. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes hibachi style. The price is fair however, they do upcharge for extra sauces etc..“

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

“Order was ready super fast and the quality is superb! Love all the options available. Friendly staff and clean eat in/out area!“

“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. 🤩“

“Best best place in town oh my God this is the first day I ever been here. Customer service is excellent. The food is excellent. Everybody in there is so grateful. They are so blessed to have a place like this. I was all Restaurant would like this week my parents there was 100 and 1,000,000%.“

“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 👏“

“So, not only is this place quick and cheap with some delicious food, but also—you know how most hibachi places will give you a little bit of everything? Not this place, they will give you more food than you know what to do with for—including the delivery fees—$20. Everytime I have a day off, I order there. It’s my favorite place to order from.“

“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!“

“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!!!🥰🙌🏼“

“Listen this is not the absolute best hibachi you're going to have but it is good and the staff is very friendly. I got chicken, shrimp, and veggies for $13.00 and it was enough food to have two meals so it's an absolute great deal!“

“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.“

“In town for a wedding and looking for a fun family dinner. Our 8 year old loves hibachi, other picky eaters in the family. Had a GREAT time. Food, entertainment from chef and service all excellent. My 3 year old is not a fan of the fire and eats almost nothing, server brought her ice cream when he saw she was not eating. Above and beyond thank you!“

“So fresh! I will be back!“

“Great food always eat here great customer service“

“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!“

“This is my go-to take out sushi spot for downtown! Everything is always tasty, comes out timely, and the staff is always friendly. I eat here at least once a month.

The only complaint I have is that the sushi portions can be unpredictable. The last few times I have went there, I have not had much fish in my sushi orders.
One of my favorite dishes is the Japanese Curry! It always hits the spot!“

“So tasty every time :) Very very kind & accommodating about allergies/substitutions for vegans + veggies.

I’ve been a vegan for 14 years & Coco’s has my fave tofu texture ever for the “tofu” category dishes (tender in the middle, but chewy with crisp parts on the outside.) Everyone has a favorite style, but this is so yummy & perfect for saucy dishes & for feeling nice + full :) I love how the veggies are prepared in dishes I’ve had, too (i.e. really fresh steamed broccoli alongside saucy sesame tofu.). Reminds me of how my dad used to make it in his bamboo steamer :)

Confident that most people could sample their large menu & find their favorite dish here. Thank you Coco’s! We’re lucky to enjoy your food!! <3“

“This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, I placed my order online and had it delivered. It was easy to place my order and I had regular updates on when my order would arrive. It was packed very securely! I was so excited about all the vegetarian options for rolls - they were all so delicious!“
