His wife & himself have to be the most coolest & down to earth people I've ever met. Definitely coming back & I suggest yall do/will too. read more

Review is strictly from what I received from my DoorDash. I had high expectations since it's hibachi but fell short in my opinion. First steak is super thin I thought it was flank steak for a second. I ordered medium rare and it was indeed well done ( still giving reasonable doubt since it was a door dash order could've cooked more on the way) Paid $49 for "3 proteins and this is all I get. 3 thin strips of chicken , couple of shrimps and 3 thinn slices of steak. (I've gotten waaaaaayyyyyyyyy more for an extra $10 from the spot in Benicia ) I upgraded for "shrimp fried rice" thinking they'd actually chop it up and mix it in the rice like I've seen in other reviews . They just threw shrimp on top of the fried rice and called it a day . Veggies had a thick hand of pepper laid on it so that was a bummer. Maybe it's a different experience ordering in the restaurant, but I won't stick around to find out read more

Great spot to visit if you're near the waterfront. They have happy hour available during the week for discounted drinks & apps. Highly recommend getting Bill's fried rice which is a combo of shrimp, beef and chicken. Also like the potstickers. Service is friendly. Good amount of food for the price you pay. Indoor seating available as well as outdoor on a dock. If you're sensitive to motion, probably don't recommend sitting there since it can pick up when the ferry comes in. read more

This is the kind of place you walk by and wonder if it's worth giving a shot and I can confidently say it absolutely is. The service was excellent, even though I ordered online, and the food came out fresh and hot. The veggie rolls were a bit mild in flavor, but I still enjoyed how crispy they were. The veggie noodles were great and packed with plenty of cut vegetables. Prices are very reasonable for the area. Highly recommend stopping by for drinks by the water if you get the chance, definitely worth going inside. read more

The fish and chips were great. Service was fast and friendly. Beautiful day on the dock. With my lovely daughter, Rianne.

Absolutely love this local gem. The family that runs it is incredibly kind and genuinely welcoming--you can feel the care they put into both the food and the experience the moment you walk in. They have such great energy and really make you feel at home. The food delivers all the bold, polished flavors of a high-end hibachi meal, but with an added layer of warmth and comfort that keeps you coming back. It's the perfect balance of elevated quality and neighborhood charm. read more

I now work at Mare Island and this was the first closest thing we found. It's about 3 miles from my work so it's a good spot and it's right in the water. This is a Japanese restaurant that serves a few Filipino food items. Of course that's what me and my co-workers ordered. We got the Tapsilog, Tosilog, and Bangalore. These are famous staple Filipino breakfast: it always includes garlic fried rice, meat protein and eggs. I was surprised and happy at the same time that they served Filipino food here. The serving is pretty big and it tasted delicious. The lady that served us was very nice. The ambiance is beautiful obviously m. It's overlooking the water and boats passing by. The price is not too bad. I spent less than $15 for my meal. Note: Great parking lot. read more

Service was great and the ambience was nice. They put the 49ers game on, which we really appreciated, and they had two screens showing the game. The bartender was very attentive and courteous throughout our visit. We ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp, Bob's fried rice, potstickers, clam chowder in a bread bowl, and the chicken teriyaki wings. The garlic noodles with shrimp were really flavorful, and the fried rice was good as well. The potstickers were perfectly crispy and came with a ginger dipping sauce that was amazing. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was also very good and comforting. They only had two wing flavors available--plain or teriyaki. We usually like spicier wings and prefer them extra saucy, but the teriyaki wings were really good. They were nice and crunchy, crispy, and had just the right amount of sauce, not too much, but still flavorful, even for someone who loves saucy wings. The sunset view was beautiful. The place is small and probably fits about 20 people, but it wasn't packed when we went. I enjoyed my Hennessy, and honestly, everything on the menu was good and tasteful. Definitely looking forward to coming back again. read more

If I could give this a 3.5 I would, but 1/2s aren't possible so I rounded up. I've been wanting to visit this place since I walked by it a few months ago. Location is top. I mean.... Hibachi with a waterfront view?! The view gets 5, the ambiance gets 4.5 (super cute). The menu is super limited, but pricing is decent and the food is good. read more

This is a wonderful place if you ever just want to hang out and watch the sunset. Everyone that works here is like family and if you've been here once they will always say hi to you when you come in. When it comes to the food it is amazing. I like any type of seafood and I love the garlic butter here. To top it off with a full bar or a nice glass of wine. They also have happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 Monday through Friday,so don't miss it. Happy hour is drinks and food. Whether you like to sit inside or outside it doesn't matter I guess it just depends on the weather. Don't forget, karaoke is on Thursday nights at 5:30 to 8:30. Always lots of fun. read more

A hidden gem on Vallejo's waterfront. Great, attentive service from the moment we walked in until we left. Nice waterfront view and delicious food. While the place is small, there is plenty of outdoor seating available. The chicken potstickers and salmon hibachi plates were very flavorful. The lemon drops were good as well. I would definitely come back to try other options. read more

First/last time at this place. Looked promising from the outside. Ordered food and drinks at the bar. Outdoor seating on the dock is pleasant-ish. When the boats and ferry go by the thing really gets moving. Ordered a chicken (grilled?) hibachi bento box w plain rice. And an order of fish and chips a beer and a Mai tai. Drinks fine. After 15 min or so outside the server comes to say they're out of fish and chips. Substituted a "steak" bento box as it's the same price $20 vs $19.99. I'm going to assume that this place is still in business for the bar and the view of the lovely San Pablo bay. $60 for two meager bentos and a beer and cocktail. Nah. Judging by the bentos I'm going assume the fish and chips are either the best thing (sold out) or about as appetizing as the sad bento. read more

We were in the area and found this hidden gem. It's a little restaurant on the water. As soon as we walked in we were acknowledged. The tables sit right on the glass and you're seeing the water. There is a back section you walk on a little bridge and there's an outdoor seating area. The waiter took our order. The prices were okay. We got our food fast. It was extremely relaxing eating on the water. The food was good it was okay. The view has been by best by far. Overall good experience. read more

Discrimination!!!!! Went in with my service dog and was turned away. He refused service . Today at the waterfront was a community event with lots of dogs. I don't recommend coming here. I will be contacting my attorney . Luckily it was all on camera with my Meta glasses. read more

An awesome family owned place on the Napa river in downtown Vallejo, next to the ferry to SF. It's small, but they are putting out great food and have exceptional full bar choices, given the small size. If the weather is good, go out on the floating barge to have your food and drinks. Great customer service, Romeo and others always greet you with a big smile. Enjoy! read more

Bay Hibachi Express - What better than a cocktail on a gorgeous day on the water? - Japanese Near Me - Vallejo, California

Updating this Review: If you haven't read the original review. I ordered a steak plate and was very unhappy with the food. The steak and the shrimp both lacked seasoning and cooking technique. FLAVORLESS AND NOT SEARED. The fried rice is not only the cheapest quality of rice it's also not seasoned and was not fried well. Mind you authentic Japanese restaurants will use high quality rice like calrose or sushi rice in general. Places like Benihana charge a decent price because they are using good quality ingredients and the chefs are trained to execute these dishes. To call this plate Hibachi is a stretch. Moving on to customer service. Customer service is trash. This is the kind of place that will treat certain customers one way and certain ones another. I complained on my dish and Romeo the owner apologized for the dish and said he would remake it. Out of all that I waited on top of being there over an hour for food mind you I had my kid with me and he was very hungry. Romeo forgot that I was waiting for my order and then told me I'm not getting it remade and he acted very offended and different from when I initially made the complaint. I know he forgot. Final thoughts This place is a joke. Took 6 days to reply to one of their worst reviews. When they finally reply they try and gaslight me and saying it was a miscommunication? Saying that Romeo said he wasn't going to remake it because what I said obviously isn't true? Tell me this what restaurant tells this to a customer not happy with their food? What real respectable restaurant doesn't remake food that that their customer did not like the plate? It took a while to write this response as I was really annoyed about this but let me make this very clear. it's because there was NO MISCOMMUNICATION. How dare you try and lie a narrative of miscommunication. I spoke very clearly to Romeo and understood him very well in him remaking the plate. It's plain and simple, you guys messed on the food and instead of owning up you try and gaslight me. Just remember what restaurant does not remake the food after the customer complained and clearly communicated that they want the food since I've been waiting there with my young kid. It's one thing to have trash food but to lie on your customer here on yelp?? Pathetic. You guys can lie all day but facts are facts. No restaurant I've ever stepped foot in has said, "you don't like the food? Well we won't remake it for you" Also one more thing about your response to "ThAtS wHy We SeRvE oUr FoOd wItH SaUcE cAuSe We Do LiGhT SeAsOnIng" Everyone knows.. real good food. I mean reeeaal good food does not need sauce. I don't need the sauce in Benihana or the other spots. Another way of deflecting my very harsh but real critique of your food. Your food without sauce is like eating boiled shrimp boiled steak and cheap quality fried rice. Anyone can throw a sugary sauce on anything! I would rather fish a tire out that waterfront and eat that, than to be subject to that type of food and customer service. Like I said I'm doing you guys a favor by pointing these things out. By the way I write reviews does it look like I miscommunicate??? read more

Checked out the Happy Hour Karaoke here on a Tuesday afternoon/evening! This used to be Vik's Wheelhouse and now it's a a Hibachi Express spot. I haven't really gotten a chance to try out the food yet but based upon the reviews, it looks pretty promising. They have a good happy hour menu, we got potstickers and a cocktail while the karaoke was starting. They have an inside area and they have a connected outdoor area that floats over the water at the waterfront. Perfect spot to grab a drink when coming home from sf taking the ferry or before heading out to SF via ferry. The workers were very friendly and I think some were getting trained when we went there. I'd like to come back to try their food sometime. Parking is fairly easy, there's a parking lot located close by for the waterfront. read more

Ordered the steak and Shrimp combo and upgraded the rice to fried rice. This was mediocre at best. Had to add the sauce for flavor. I had a feeling, as I was paying I said this was my 1st time. The response was I hope you like it instead of the confident I am sure you will love it. Gave 3 stars an only because the cashier was extremely pleasant.

I was at the waterfront, looking for a place to eat. I went to Mare Island brewing and didn't like the crowd. I stepped out the door and stumbled across this little Asian hibachi restaurant on the waterfront. It was totally not busy. The food was really good. I had a salmon Teriyaki bento box that was really reasonably priced and a beer. Good food, reasonably priced, they serve alcohol and it's not too busy. It's kind of a low-key decent place where I would take a date for a decent meal that's out of the ordinary. read more
