What luck!?!? Much respect to the owners and chefs for not skimping out on portion sizes - by no means were these "salad" shrimp - those bad boys were HUGE...and the fish?!? WHEW!!! Let me tell you...those hard earned "no one wants to admit we're in a recession" dollars - your wallet will be respected as each bite is beyond worth it! Ambiance/Decor was so well thought of - a true ode to the Black & Houston's 3rd Ward's culturally rich communities. Going back is an absolute must and I would highly suggest sampling your way around the menu. As a frequent traveller - I'll certainly be back but only one question remains...When will we get a location in the DMV area?!? You guys will CRUSH it!!!

Visited this place the other day with my cousins and the food was good! Here are the deets:…read more Pros: --Food was served pretty quickly and came out hit --the included extra sauce for free, so that I could taste a different flavor than what comes with the empanadas --the inside and outside areas are nice and clean for sitting and enjoying your meal --the jalepeno poppers were really good! And unlike most, they actually had some kick to them, AND you can tell that they use a quality bacon--not that cheap crap. (I'm an HEB brands connoisseur and I think it's HEB thick cut bacon. LOL!) --I snuck a piece of fish off of my cousin's plate, and it was sooooooo good. So, I'm looking to try that next time that the gates sauce. YOU MUST GET THE GATES SAUCE!!!!! --Nice touch with the flosspick they provide! Cons: --If you eat outside, you have to deal with the smokers, and the tons of uber eats and doordash drivers. --The kiosk doesn't list all of their items, so you're better off using their app. (Hopefully the location's management takes care of this, bc I find using the kiosk to be more convenient, and my phone's battery is always low.) Overall: The food was good, and I plan to come back.

UPDATE: I was finally able to visit this restaurant in…read moreperson. I read the reviews but wasn't deterred by the negative comments since my food delivery experience was positive. I walked into the clean, chilled ambiance building and felt completely lost. I had no idea that it's a contactless experience. The order must be placed electronically prior to arriving or at a kiosk upon arrival. Once you've placed your order and paid for it, you take a seat and wait to be notified via text message. When your food is ready, your text message will direct you to a locker number which will go to and unlock by clicking on a link provided in your text message. Thankfully, there was a kind Harris County Deputy who was also visiting for the first time and patiently worked with me to make sure I was able to place my order. I think the concept is innovative here in the U.S. (been going on in Asian countries) and could really take off. However, there should be available signs with directives posted both outside and inside of the building. The food was just as delicious as it was the first time. Please don't let the negative reviews deter you from giving this restaurant a try.

There is something about their garlic butter that feels simply magical. I do not know what they do to it, but it is some of the best I have ever had. Everything is always cooked perfectly and seasoned just right, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The only downside is that the wait is usually longer than they estimate. They might say 15 to 20 minutes, but it often ends up closer to 30 to 40 minutes. That being said, the wait makes sense because they are always busy, and honestly the food is well worth it. The staff is always so friendly, the service is great, and the whole setup adds to the experience. The food park where they are located has a cool, relaxed vibe, and grabbing food from their truck always feels like part of the fun. Everything about it feels welcoming and laid back, which makes the food taste even better. Hibachi Bros is one of those spots you keep coming back to because it never lets you down.

I was excited because it looked really good, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. After taking a few bites, I realized it was very bland--there was little to no seasoning at all. I'm a bit confused because the customer service is consistently excellent, but the food hasn't been matching that same level. I'm not sure if it was because they were close to closing at 10, but that still doesn't justify serving unseasoned food. I really want to love this place because the vibe and service are there--I just hope the food quality becomes more consistent.

Hosting a friend and showing them what makes Houston great in a short amount of time can be…read moredaunting at times because there are so many options and its also great to explore new local spots. As part of a friend's visit, I suggested finding some sort of cajun/creole cuisine since she doesn't get it back home and she found Creole Kitchen and Daiquiris. This is one of those, potentially easily skipped, restaurants connected to a gas station. To me, gas station food is a very Texas thing (also in Miami where one of my favorite tapas restaurants exist) so I'm glad we got to take her to a bit of a double whammy. This is definitely a casual eatery and seemed as if most people do takeaway but there were a few tables for dining in restaurant. We were kindly greeted by the staff and the cashier let us know they had physical menus to review as we all tried to read the overhead tv menus. We weren't super hungry but wanted to sample various things so went with the seafood combo platter, side of fried okra, collards, and my partner got a small gumbo jeaux. The food came out hot and fresh and in to go boxes, I don't think they carry dine in settings but we were provided extra togo containers to eat in. The fried platter was done very well, fish was super tender and moist with a nice crunchy cornmeal batter. The shrimp were also excellently fried and retained their bounce without being overcooked. The fries and okra were also just too notch to me. I also liked the hashbrown and thought it was a nice sweet bite to go along with the fried foods. I enjoyed the flavor of the collards but thought there was a bit too much broth to greens ratio, the flavor was on point for me though. I had a small taste of my partner's gumbo and thought it was good but didn't have much to make a strong opinion. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, esp with it being so close to me. I'm glad there's a local spot for good southern fried platters and def will be back for some okra or other offerings!

Such a delicious meal in every single bite with each bite being full of moisture and consistency too. The drumsticks had a slightly crispy exterior, really tender flesh, very juicy to almost falling off the bone feel to them. They were cooked thoroughly without being dried or burnt. That spicy, oily red sauce was so aromatic with just enough kick to it. It wasn't creamy, but not too watery either. The Jollof rice was smoky, savory, buttery and a little spicy. The greens had a subtle ingredient in them and complimented the rest with some earthiness, while the plantains were like a mini dessert. The plantains were very good with a really soft, creamy texture, good warmth and natural sweetness. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. This poultry dish is a real treat every time with every flavor profile in play satisfying multiple pallets.
