“Awesome place. I’ve been once and I’ve been ready to go back (1.5hr drive). They were so worth the drive!! My fiancé and I got a variety of things since it was our first time trying it out and I’m telling you what the steak from my bento box literally cut like butter and had amazing flavor! (Chicken and shrimp cooked PERFECTLY also, I did not have one thing in my plate over cooked) the liquor was even great (don’t drink to much to fast lol) we ordered 3 different kind of sushi rolls and every single one is what awesome. The atmosphere was very soothing and the service was excellent. My fiancé and I were planning on when we were coming back before we even left.“

“A small group of us went in and the food was very good and hot, however I don’t like being made pay a gratitude before service is rendered. We were charged a $20 gratuity and I don’t feel that one refill and removing a few plates was worth $20. The staff was friendly but other customers were NOT! Some very rude. Won’t be returning simply because I don’t like paying for I don’t receive! Earn it, don’t just take it!!! I was a server for over 25 years and I tip good service very good! I also tip sorry service with 2 pennies!“

“The food was amazing. I got the veggie rolls and was completely satisfied. My husband got the scallop bowl and crab Rangoon. All was delicious. The service was great. All employees were very kind and welcoming. I would most definitely recommend.“

“The atmoshpere was pleasant inside. We did go on a Tuesday about 6:30, so it wasn't super busy when we arrived. However, an hour later most tables were filled as we were leaving.Our waiter, Dequan, was super friendly and informative. He was great at offering suggestions and clarifications regarding the menu.For drinks, my daughter had the Brown sugar Boba milk tea, which she Saud was really good. I ordered the Moonstone coconut lemongrass sake, which I also enjoyed!.We ordered the Kani Salad, which was tasty with the fresh avocado slices. My daughter ordered the sesame balls which had a good red bean paste but the rest of the ball was not very flavorful.We each ordered a bowl of Ramen, spicy beef for me and tonkotsu shoyu for her. Both were fresh and tasty.There was plenty of leftovers to take home with us.We will eat here again. Thank you, Dequan, for a pleasant first experience at Hokkaido Ramen House! ?“

“Went with some friends. Delicious teriyaki chicken! But, they don't have yum yum sauce. I love yum yum, but they don't have it. Their spicy mayo tastes nothing like it either. But, service was quick and our waiter was friendly.Kid-friendliness: Menu just for kids!“

“Had an absolute blast at Ganbei! The Singapore noodles were so good, they made me forget I was in neither Singapore nor Japan! And that peanut butter dessert? It was so tasty, I almost licked the plate clean!But the real surprise was the fried ice cream. We're talking about a mind-blowing combo! It was like eating a crispy cloud with a surprise inside!Big shoutout to the friendly guy working there – his warm welcome and attentive service made the dining experience even better.Overall, Ganbei is a must-visit for a hilarious and delicious dining adventure. Trust me, you'll leave with a smile and a happy belly! Five stars !“

“The food was good, I have never been to a place that cooked your food right in front of you. We had a family gathering, around 11 people, and the chef made the food for everyone. Quick and fancy. I mean it's an expensive place to eat at. There is a guy that works there, they call him 007. Because he gets everyone involved in the dinner especially if it's your birthday. He was right beside us at another table-grill. I would recommend it, it you have money to spend. It's a different atmosphere there.“

“Great spot for quick service Japanese food, and has easily become a favorite amongst the regional restaurant chains. The teriyaki chicken always hits the spot.Parking: Plenty of parking located in the lot in front of the outlet mall as well as in front of the Walmart.“

“I can say they are still good people left in this world. I could not find my wallet all weekend and I remember coming to Tokyo grill in Lexington last week. When I called they said they had it and everything was still in it. Their food is always so amazing and their staff is honest. Best place in town to eat always.“
