Food was too expensive for the typical hibachi. (Paid $14 for hibachi chicken). Staff was nice. There are a ton of boxes piled up on the walls in the main restaurant area which is pretty weird. Also it was way too salty

We've ordered here a few times in the past when our favorite hibachi place was not open. In the past the food was tolerable, but nothing fantastic. Last night's order was steak hibachi and combo hibachi with two egg rolls. We ordered brown rice with one and fried rice with the other. These folks use INSTANT RICE for both their brown rice and their fried rice. It was nasty. The state on both plates was cooked to leather oblivion. Some of the zucchini on the plates is completely raw and uncooked and other pieces is cooked to black mush. None of the food had any seasoning whatsoever at all nada nil none. And their egg rolls were soggy because they're frozen and then deep fried and then crammed into packaging to sweat it out. We'll skip this joint going forward.

Its a little over-priced for the food you get but the food is okay to eat. Your typical "Chinese next to Food Lion" type taste.
The inside is a bit dirty though. They have two air vents in the waiting are that both drip water and have black growth (maybe mold, I don't know) around them. They need to put effort into maintenance.
The people are friendly though so thats nice.

Got the hibachi chicken dinner platter with fried rice, and dumplings. The dumplings were actually great, and the dinner platters weighed probably like 2.5 lbs each, no joke. But the chicken was not very good, and the fried rice was just bad. Service was great and the weight of food/value ratio was insane, but the menu is very hit or miss.

We ordered ahead but ate there. The food was delicious! The environment is very take-out oriented which didn’t bother us. We got both some sushi and a hibachi plate and it was out of this world! More
