Came here for dinner with friends after work and had a pleasant time. There was five us at a table which I appreciate them not filling up the table completely with randoms. I had ordered the golden tofu as an app which was yummy and got the steak and chicken for my entree. The food was yummy and our chef was funny but the show they do is very similar with most hibachi places. The place was smallish which made it feel intimate and despite being at the table for a while, we weren't rushed out which was nice. This place was decent and would come again. read more

Solid Japanese grill with reasonable prices for NYC. We were a little disappointed at the serving sizes compared to similar restaurants in Michigan, but the food was good overall, and service was decent as well. read more

The chef show was really funn and the food was good. The service not so much, we had to wait a lot just for the menu's and they offered drinks just once. read more

Second time here, 2 bdays in a row! Came back this year because I liked the sleek urban ambiance of this relatively small hibachi place. It's simple, and not gaudy or overly smoky like a lot of hibachi places. Food is good here, but our guy was kinda lame this time. Really seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. It was also a little too rushed! We were in and out within an hour! They immediately start taking your order when you sit down, and from there just crank everything out with speed and precision. No time for conversation or a leisurely drink, just eat and turn the table over. I still like this place though, it's a fun annual thing to do, and food is plentiful and delish! read more

This place checked all the boxes and then some! The cocktails were strong and everything was well seasoned. From the sweet chili wings which were still crispy and packed the right amount of sweet heat to the shrimp pad Thai that wasn't overly sweet like some can be it was a hit. I loved the sauce that accompanied the roti and almost wish there was more but overall I had a great experience at Flame. Definitely kid friendly and the service was very responsive. We didn't have a reservation and they do seem a bit more strict on the hibachi side with that for obvious reasons but regular dine in was amazing. read more

We visited Flame Hibachi with our family of 6, looking forward to a great dinner and the signature hibachi show. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. We were explicitly told that our family would be the only ones at our table. However, after making us wait at the table for 15-20 minutes for the chef to arrive, he finally showed up and started cooking while we were still getting settled into our seats. The entire dinner was rushed through in just 20 minutes, and the chef didn't perform any tricks or interaction at all. What made it worse was looking at the neighboring table. Their show started before we even got our chef, and it was still going on long after ours abruptly ended. The food was okay, but we paid for the experience and the entertainment, which we completely missed out on. Very disappointing for a family night out. read more

You get to a hibachi restaurant and you reserve a table that accommodates your allergy so you get the show and your food but they insist on a full table and sit you with a group of random people and say although your at a hibachi table if THEY get chicken we can't accommodate your allergy we're just gonna cook it in the back .. but that's not what I asked for and not for sure what I PAIDED for . I sat downstairs they said there was no price difference but there was a price increase to sit upstairs and downstairs is no better . No one told me they have an automatic set 20% but from what I got that for a table of 6 so you sit me at a table with 6 plus people how do you then think that bill gets dished out . But I say downstairs and still had to pay a 20% service fee and my original price for my meal without all the extra UP CHARGES they added it's was 68 dollars after all there taxes and added fees it was 88!!! That's insane for two people and then had the audacity to ask me for a tip when our waitress spoke to us three times to get our order , to get the food , & to give us the bill . I would never go back . Did I mention the level of flys just flying around food is disgustingly you have fresh fish and etc out and there FLIES EVERYWHERE . The walls had some much dust in them it was obvious to the eye and not even hidden . Overall 3/10 I would never go back and waste my money on such a ridiculous place . I get hibachi normally this was by far the worst experience I ever had at hibachi read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while trying to find somewhere to eat that had noodles. I read the food menu that was plastered outside. Went inside and was seated immediately. They had hibachi upstairs and the cooks were singing their hearts out (I must say they sounded really good). It was Sunday afternoon and they had a happy hour menu so I ordered a Corona for $6. For my entree I ordered the Classic Noodle with Beef. The food came out smoking hot, and the aroma was amazing. It taste even better. I would come here 1000 more times to try other items on the menu. read more

My boyfriend is a huge fan of hibachi so when we were visiting, we decided to come here. There was no wait on a Saturday night which I thought was great but it was super packed inside! Our hibachi chef was super entertaining. I ordered the shrimp and scallop which was delish! Not too oily or buttery compared to other places I've been to. The only issue I had was it cost an additional $5 for fried rice or noodle like that's a little ridiculous???? read more

Visited this place with a promotion through Pulsd. The offer is pretty much a two for one promotion. I came here with Gia on an off night (sunday) and it was slow to say the least so we can't comment on the vibe too much. Service was on par with nothing that bothered either of us enough to make note of. If I had to nitpick its probably a little slow for the amount of people in the premise at that time. To the food: We both did Hibachi with a combination of chicken steak and shrimps, while overall the flavors of the protein were pretty good, I found the overall quality of the meat just average. The Jasmine Fried Rice that came with the meal was very good though. While I know Hibachi places tend to be more about the entertainment than the food, I have to warn everyone that the Pulsd voucher DOES NOT include the hibachi show. This was disappointing but has nothing to do with the review. Just wanted to warn other people before they bought one. read more

Consistently great food and service! Love a date night here :) Get the filet mignon & shrimp hibachi combo!

Food was amazing and the service was fabulous. Ambiance was great, this is my new fo to place now.

so much fun with incredible service and reasonable prices! came into Flame on a Monday night with a group of friends. there were 7 of us, we had a reservation and had a whole table saved for us. sat at their bar before sitting at the table, the bartender was super sweet and brought us our drinks from the bar when we were told our table was ready. our chef was just phenomenal! man was having the time of his life and so were we. food was good, not amazing or best i've bad, but really solid. would definitely be back read more

Worst restaurant experience we ever had. Kids wanted to eat here after seeing reviews online and I made reservation via Yelp. We arrived a bit early and they accommodated us. We were the only ones in hibachi area. We were excited and all was fine until our server brought out our beverages. He didn't set one of the drinks down on the table properly and it spilled. That was a total accident and would have been okay and understandable but because of how the mason jar cup fell, it broke into many pieces of glass that also landed on my kids. We were given napkins to try and clean up the tiny glass pieces but they became embedded in their tops and jeans. Because they were wearing jeans with rips as they tried to wipe away the tiny shards, glass continued to cut their legs. We went to restroom to try and clean it and bc the full drink spilled, the wetness allowed the shards to become embedded into their clothes. We immediately left and ordered an Uber so they could check for cuts, shower, and change at the hotel. Our server was apologetic but no one but him offered any help in the restaurant. They ended up having superficial skin cuts and we threw away their clothes bc we were traveling and didn't have a way to ensure all the glass was removed. We were able to replace their clothing - YAY for AE and Old Navy in Times Square with same day order pickup! Flame Hibachi has my info bc I booked on Yelp yet no one has reached out to check and make sure my kids were okay or even see if we'd like to make another reservation so we could actually eat there. Complete disregard for a decent customer experience. read more

Food was fresh and hibachi show was entertaining, but very rehearsed. The food was properly cooked but lacking in robust flavors and authenticity. The prices were average for Manhattan but beware, they automatically add a 20% "service charge" to your bill and do not tell you in advance. It's sneaky and a shame. We were a party of 2 on a random Thursday night. I would typically charge the bill but tip in cash and round up from 20-30%, but this charge was quietly added to my bill without my knowledge or consent. I happened to see it and asked the server what it was for. She informed me it was the tip. Call me old fashioned, but when I worked in a restaurant, tips were earned, not assumed. I paid the charge as it was applied to my bill on my credit card and that was it. It's a shame because I definitely would have given more in cash, but I wasn't interested in trying to do the math to work out the difference and if tips are now assumed, I'm really not interested in complicating the bill. I will simply go elsewhere next time. Aside from the underhanded billing, there was nothing "wrong" with this place, but it wasn't outstanding either. There are more authentic restaurants that don't try to sneak in a service charge and who are more competitively priced in the area. read more

Flame Hibachi - Inside - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Our favorite place for hibachi. Great date night vibe especially in the upper room. We try to hit this place every time we visit NyC

Food: Great tasting hibachi steaks! Quite garlicky. Ample serving of hibachi veggies was nice especially for NYC or anywhere for that matter in this day and age. Their miso soup was also flavorful. Their mushroom spring rolls were crispy and delectable. Their scallion pancakes were a tad too thick for our preference. Their yum yum sauce was too weak and was just 1 yum not "yum yum" Service: fairly attentive; I gotta say they got some patience though cuz there were 5 tween and teen bday bashes going on so it was obnoxiously loud but the staff handled things fairly well all things considered. The experience wasn't all that great though for unbeknownst/innocent/clueless bystanding diners like ourselves who did NOT get the memo... Sidenote: their bathrooms are in the dungeon err I mean basement...just fyi. It was clean for what it was worth read more

Ordered hibachi steak and chicken, hoping this location of Flame would somehow be better than the W 82nd St location. It was not at all. The steak and chicken - bad. Vegetables - bad. Salad - bad. White rice - meh (how do you mess that up?) My niece said the fried rice was okay. Only noticed the B rating sign on the way out. Come on, Flame, step it up! read more

My first Hibachi experience took place at Flame on Friday. We checked in for our reservation at the hostess stand on the first floor, then were escorted up to the second floor and seated at a table surrounding a grill. We shared the table with another party of 3. We noticed that there was a 3rd floor (possibly private room) by the singing and cheering radiating from above us. It seemed like they were having a great time, which was quite the contrast to the floor that we were sitting on. We got to order our drinks first, as well as our appetizer and choice of meat. For anyone with food allergies/restrictions, their dish can be made separately in the kitchen. I went with the sirloin steak and chicken combo. Our chef took his position and started off by making some fried rice. He put on a nice little show by spinning an egg on his spatula, lighting his hand on fire (coated with oil of course) and squirting sake into our mouths at a distance. Our food was grilled right in front of us and served to us piping hot. It definitely tasted like your standard steak and chicken, but I see that the appeal of Hibachi is more of the theatrics that they put on while cooking. Our waiters stayed close by in case we wanted to order more drinks. They seemed to have a strict limit of 90 minutes as the check was dropped right around then, and they notified us that the next party was here. 3.5 rounded to a 4. Glad I made it here, but not in a rush to return. read more

Haven't been to a hibachi since I was a kid so it was fun to try it again. The chef was really funny and entertaining. I wouldn't go there for the food tbh but more so for the entertainment/vibe. The food was fine but not amazing. We also got a couple of beers and a large sake (on top of what the chef gives). It's pretty hot in there since they're grilling in front of you but will cool down once the chef is done. read more

Real great spot If you want to get the good food but skip the show this is the place, tropical islands go crazy Drink responsibly read more

Great food and drinks. The staff is really friendly and the guy at the bar was super helpful with food and drinks recommendations.

The food was decent quality- I scheduled a reservation for 6 people. We were sat on time, but then rushed through our orders. When our chef arrived, he did one trick, and then cooked the food in silence. The birthday girl in our party did not receive any special treatment, and the chef forgot one of the proteins on her entree. At the end of the night, several people in other parties received a birthday dessert, but we had to specifically request it, and it arrived much later than everyone else. I could tell they were trying to turn the table and were annoyed that we were still occupying the table, which is frustrating because it was their mistake. The ambience was loud, nicely lit, it was pretty inside! But the lack of thoughtfulness in the service was frustrating. read more

I came here to try the hello kitty buns and they were so aesthetically pleasing and adorable. They were pretty good tasting wise. They are filled with an egg custard in the middle but it's not too sweet and not too bitter/plain, it's right in the middle. The host was super chill and actually switched tables for us because I had made reservations for a Hibachi table and not just a regular table. But he was super chill and moved us to a different table and only took about 10-15 minutes for the Hello Kitty Buns to be brought to us. read more
