    plain teriyaki chicken and shrimp sauce, teriyaki chicken with rice and broccoli and side of mushrooms
    Savanna S.

    the food here is so good! and the service is also good, everyone is kind and our food came out SO fast, and does everytime we come here. the place is quiet with nice music playing in the background and it's just a cute little place. we've been coming here for years and this was the first visit in a while, but i'll be back soon for sure. sorry the food picture isn't the best, i didn't think about it!! the teriyaki chicken is so good and i got a side of mushrooms which i smashed. also love their shrimp sauce.

    Traveling back home we wanted to avoid restaurant chains. We landed here. A surprisingly large restaurant greeted us with various fish tank near the entrance. We ordered the veggie and steak hibachi. The food came quick! (Like they were waiting on us). Presentation was good, food was tasty with fresh vegetables served. The service was ok. After the food was brought, we didn't see the server for a long while. Overall, it was a good meal for two for less than $13.00.

    Akito is a family favorite that we go to on occasion when I'm in town visiting. I've eaten there in the restaurant three times, and have ordered to go half a dozen times. Each time the food is reasonable as far as fast food Japanese in western North Carolina goes. The staff has always been polite and friendly. The restaurant service has been acceptable and fast. The last time I went I requested extra broccoli and they gave it to me without an extra charge. I recommend it to anyone looking for fast, good Japanese food in the area. Oh, and the free sweet tea when you dine in is another great feature they do that saves what would likely be $2 anywhere else.

    The service is good and so is the food! They finally reduced their portion size so you didn't feel completely awful after eating there!

    I read the other reviews and you all need to get out more! Boiled carrots that were mushy, rice was just that, nothing special.

    Came here on a weekday with a gang of coworkers. It was nice to see the place pretty packed for a…read moreweekday, most tables were full. No draft beers from what I saw, only bottled beer which is fine. We all got Sapporo which was nice, 22oz tall boys. For food we all got hibachi which was delicious - I was surprised how flavorful and delicious it was. I personally got the steak and chicken and loved it. Like all hibachi you get soup, salad, shrimp, and the hibachi meal you ordered with fried rice. We all left full and happy. The staff was super friendly and we were sat quickly, our orders were taken quickly and the food and drinks came out quick. Only thing that could have been improved was the hibachi tricks! Spinning knives and the egg in the hat are a classic - but no onion volcano !? no sake water gun!? Gotta step up the production value here lol, overall a great spot though.

    KOBE - Japanese House of Steak and Seafood is as the name suggests... a Japanese steakhouse that…read moreserves grilled meats and vegetables along with other items such as sushi, but I believe most people go for the hibachi experience. The inside looks a bit outdated, but it was not that big of a deal to me as everything was running properly. I thought that the chefs were very cool to watch. I got the Hibachi Chicken. It was a really filling meal! This place does not skimp out on portions. I enjoyed how tender the zucchini and chicken were cooked and the shrimp sauce made it taste a lot better (who does not love shrimp sauce?!). I thought that everything was seasoned well, but a bit too well? My meal was a bit salty for my liking, but that is just a personal preference. As my first hibachi experience, I would probably give this place a 3.5/5 stars if I could. It is not overly fancy and works for a place like Hickory.
