The restaurant has a drive through and that made the entrance was hard. We didn't bother bringing leftovers home.

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

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 The inside looks a bit outdated, but it was not that big of a deal to me as everything was running properly.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.
