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.“

“Been here a number of times over the last 2 years and the food always consistent and always phenomenal. Def our favorite local chinese place. We've liked every thing we've tried, there eggrolls and crab rangoon are my favorite that I've had. Always flavorful, never too greasy. And the prices can't be beat. It's got a fun quirky atmosphere inside and every employee I've interacted with has been super friendly. Will continue to order from here for a long time!“

“Delicious. Love everything!“

“the food was fantastic and the gentleman was very professional and kind“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food, prices, and service were all awesome! Overall a wonderful experience! We will be back real soon!“

“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.“

“Delicious and fresh! Will definitely order again!“

“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%.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and my drink was delicious! I ended up sticking around the order food as well, which was bomb!“

“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 stopped by Hibachi Express and ordered the steak hibachi, which came with fried rice and grilled onions. The location is a bit hidden—tucked away in a white building next to a gas station—so it’s easy to overlook, but it’s definitely worth checking out.

The steak was cooked deliciously—tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. I will say, I thought I’d get a little more steak for the price, but what I did get was really flavorful and satisfying. The fried rice was solid, and the grilled onions added a nice touch of sweetness and depth.

Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick hibachi fix. I’ll probably be back when I’m craving something hot and filling without the sit-down wait.“

“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 )“

“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.“

“This place is UNREAL! I look forward to coming everytime I am in town for work. Usually I dine in but decided for takeout this time. The Erin roll is my go to plus classic Philly and Alaska rolls. Tried the chicken dumpling soup and it is so delicious with a rich beef broth. Great value for what you’re getting. Even better service!“

“Good Food.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“My son and I each got the chicken teriyaki combo that includes a drink and egg roll. We didn't care for the egg roll, it was mushy and tasteless. But the teriyaki chicken was amazing and you get a big portion for the reasonable price! There is no dine in seating, pick up only. Which is fine, I waited in my car after ordering and would rather eat at home anyways. Definitely recommend everyone try this place at least once!“

“So fresh! I will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food always eat here great customer service“

“Order Take out here quite often. Haven’t tried everything on the menu but the Honey Chicken is fantastic. My go too is the Honey Chicken, Chongqing Noodles, and Crab Rangoon. This could feed a family of four for $40. As far as Asian Cuisine in the area I haven’t found anything quite better. They are always friendly when I arrive and seem like a great team earning an honest living. Will definitely come back when I’m craving that Honey Chicken!“

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

“Great food great atmosphere. However, if anyone is using Groupons please read the fine print prior to your visit. The coupons are based on a number of meals purchased to receive your discount.“

“This sushi place had a beautiful dining room and great food. Their happy hour menu was changing every weekday. Monday and Tuesday had some sushi deals. Wednesday and Thursday had drinks deals. I tried their Rishi ramen and nigiri pieces. The eel nigiri was impressive with grilled bbq sauce. The squid one was mediocre. The ramen was a little bland without protein. There were spinach and mushroom, and the ramen had a good quality. My servers were great. The price was a little high. WiFi was not available.“

“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!“
