Queens, vou already know don't play about mv food Pulled up to Hagane Hibachi & Japanese Grill(161-02 Cross Bav Blvd, Howard Beach, NY 11414) with my familv and the chef turned dinner into a full-blown action movie. Flames flying, knives spinning, crowd hyped like it's fight night Started liaht with a California roll -- simple. clean, handled with respect. Then I went heavyweight: steak with shrimp hibachi. That grill was snapping, butter nitting the rice, shrimp flipping in the air like they signec a contract. Good food. Good energy. Whole table laughing, Oueens hibachi hits different when the chef cooks and performs like he's headlining the show. #haganehibachi&japanese #queens #hibachi #fyp #fy less read more

Hagane - Japanese Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

This was pretty good. Went last night with my special needs brother. We didn't want hibachi because we saw how scared my brother got when we went to Danny's right up the street in the past... we were sitting at a regular table, but as soon as the hibachi guy got up to the massive flames part of the performance, my bro almost crapped himself. So we wanted a regular table, but downstairs at Hagane they only have hibachi. The stairs going up to regular tables looked too difficult, so we asked if they could do a "toned-down" hibachi with no fire. They accommodated us perfectly and my brother was fine. The noodles, the beef, the shrimp... ask was really very good, especially with the ginger based sauce and the mustard based sauce (which isn't really that spicy... it was perfect). I also had a Lychee Slushy which was worth the $6. The ONLY thing that sucked was the cold blowing in on us at the table near the door. And this place has double doors. People just need to give a damn about other ppl and be considerate. Step 1: open the doors. Step 2: walk in, close the door behind you. Step 3: open the next set of doors and repeat steps 2 and 3. Jeeeeez. read more

Came here to take my dad out for his birthday. We live near by and never tried it. It was pretty good. I'm not a huge habachi fan but we did all enjoy it. Not much of a show. They didn't do the toss rice in your mouth shenanigans other places usually do. I kind of wish they did though because it's been years since my daughter has been to a habachi restaurant. Overall, small intimate place. About 4 habachi grills. We didn't make reservations. Came as a walking and they were able to take us right away. Would I come back? Yeah. It was good and the staff was extremely nice. P.S. my daughter did not drink the bubble tea. Wasn't her thing. read more

deff returning just coming back with an extra friend or two. Hagane Hibachi & Japanese Grill is a cozy spot in Queens that delivers on flavor and generous portions. I stopped by on a Saturday around 6 PM and was seated right away no reservations needed. The hibachi experience was a classic case with the usual fun tricks and plenty of food. I ordered the chicken and salmon, expecting the standard fried rice and veggies, but the chef surprised us with noodles as well, which was a nice bonus. The space is intimate, with only about four hibachi grills, so it is perfect for a quick, casual date or a family night out. Keep in mind, you'll need to order at least two hibachi meals if you're going for the grill experience. The warm service and tasty food make for a pleasant moment with friends. Make sure to come with friends considering it is somewhat dependent on the number of people that want to have cooked. read more

Bad customer service from server Emerson. He seems very unhappy working there. He was very rude and unwelcoming. This was my first time and it was not a good experience. He was also rude to others sitting on the same table. Other than his rude behavior food was ok. Not a welcoming ambiance. read more

Great hibachi show and great prices here. The chef is funny and the food was good. I've definitely had better hibachi but this was fresh and not full of salt. We came here after the Brooklyn half marathon and it was definitely a great post race meal. We all left full and happy to have spent an afternoon with some hibachi! read more

Always a good meal. I think the best sushi this side of queens. Service is amazing. Ambiance is good.

Hagane was super cool and one thing about this place is that they gave excellent excellent customer service and I was there for it. We came through as a party of 4 on a late Saturday evening, and were seated within 15 minutes of arriving. After taking our names we were seated upstairs in the waiting area which was kind of cold. I'm not sure why the temp was so low upstairs but I think it may have something to do with the fact that it's already very warm downstairs with the cooking (perhaps the upstairs was to balance it out ) and also where the fresh sushi is kept. Anyway after waiting, we were seated downstairs at the table. There was another party of about five or six who were seated at the same table/section as us. The waiter took our orders and was really nice and detailed in answering all of the questions we had about the food. We ordered entrees and each entree came with a salad, soup and the actual meal. The salad and soup were great starters before our food. So the chef comes out and his hand game is crazy. The way he was chopping up the onions, the veggies and the eggs with such precision was bananas. He was really good and I loved watching him cook everything right in front of us. He had a straight face and was really and truly focused. The only thing that was missing is he could have been a little, nah actually a lot more engaging. Like a whole lot. That would've made so much of a difference. Also, it would be dope if they offered Japanese beverages. Lastly, the host was the best. She really did the thing with her excellent customer service that came with a smile from the time we came in until the time we left. Loved the service and the ambiance was just okay. Definitely a nice last-minute casual spot to go to. read more

Order takeout from here all the time. The sushi is always fresh and very tasty. Friendly and quick service. Can't beat their 3 roll special. Have never dined in so cannot speak to dining experience there. read more

A hidden gem right next to my house. I give the food 5 stars, but the show with the food was very Lackluster. The chef was just pretty much there, didn't really give a good show. I would go back again, but I'll make sure I get a different chef. The steak was good and the salmon, but they should change the noodles. I didn't like the texture of the noodles. The bubble tea is a pass also, the bubbles were done all the way. read more

I just came out here for hibachi, yesterday. Honestly I've passed this place a multitude of times and didn't think anything, but decided to give it a shot. I'm no expert in hibachi, but here's my honest & humble review. So first off, the hibachi area is definitely on the smaller side with only 3 tables. We went in and were seated immediately. We looked at the menu and it was the standard options, chicken, lobster, salmon, steak, etc; I ordered a Thai iced Tea boba, but that wasn't my best decision. The tea itself was good, but the boba and jellies were rock hard, not soft and gummy. The food was okay? Nothing to be wowed about, given that there was no yum yum sauce, the one staple of ever hibachi restaurant. I was however offered ginger and garlic ?? Portions were large, and we definitely had to pack food for home, but it was decent. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I'm on crossbay craving hibachi I'd stop by. read more

Hagane is a really solid choice for Hibachi. It is a smaller restaurant and I feel that works to your advantage as a customer because you get more individual attention. They offer the usual hibachi options (chicken, shrimp, steak, filet mignon, salmon, etc. and combo platters) as well as some Sushi and appetizers from the kitchen. The Hibachi chefs are entertaining, they cook the food just to your liking (my filet was perfectly medium rare and the salmon was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside) and relatively quickly. I got the filet mignon and salmon platter. The hibachi comes with onion soup and salad with the orange ginger dressing, noodles and rice (white or fried), 2 shrimp, and mixed veggies. I liked that the veggies were a whole medley including broccoli. I love coming to Hibachi places like Hagane with friends or family for a dinner celebration. The only thing I could think they could add would be the Sake fountains that chefs often do at other places and more drink options. Despite that this place is definitely a regular for me for great Hibachi! read more

Sushi is decent, service is good. Greeted well by the door, wish the quality of sushi was better

Always nervous to try sushi from new places but it was very fresh. My gyozas were very oily but other than everything was perfect. I ordered online and my order was definitely packaged with love. read more

This place was ok. I wouldn't go back here. My sister picked this restaurant for dinner after we left the beach. It was on the way home. We ended up here because of the reviews, but neither of us was impressed. There was no one in the two story restaurant when we arrived. They walked us upstairs to the back corner. It was super desolate and strange. The vibe upstairs was really different than the first floor. It seemed like we were in an empty hotel - and we also were away from all of the wait staff. So it was difficult to flag anyone down. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops - these were super bland. I ordered sushi too, but it didn't taste fresh. This place is really out of the way for me and I was also not impressed, so I wouldn't come back here. read more

Few things to know, 1. FREE PARKING 2. 4 Hibachi tables. 3. Very cozy hibachi place unlike Arirang. (They will not throw food in your mouth like they do at Arirang) 4. Really good service. 5. Its your typical Hibachi food! They have an upstairs area were if you just wanted sushi you could eat upstairs. It will cost you about 24 dollars for hibachi filet mignon for dinner, it comes with noodles and all the rest of the rice and veggies! I come here every now and then for that intimate hibachi experience! read more

Sad attempt at being vegetarian friendly and very rude customer service. I ordered hibachi vegetables for delivery and received a bunch of steamed vegetables with no sauce. When I called to bring the issue up, they stated that their hibachi vegetables is just steamed vegetables without any sauce. Now this isn't my first rodeo. I've ordered hibachi vegetables several times. Never in my lifetime have I ever received steamed vegetables as a hibachi dish. I didn't even get any sauce to pour over my bland vegetables. Completely unacceptable. read more

Hagane - My sad ass steamed vegetable "hibachi" - Japanese Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

My boyfriend wanted to go here after driving past here when he was in the area. He told me he wanted to try this restaurant he seen in Howard Beach & we decided to go. We went around 1pm on a Wednesday. There was no one dining in on the first floor. We were served salad with the classic yummy Japanese dressing. We did the Hibachi Lunch Special, your choice of meat with noodles, veggies and fried rice. I got shrimp (which was yummy) and my boyfriend got steak (which he enjoyed well done). The food tricks were cool, nothing too exciting but still cool. We ordered green apple and mango martinis, which tasted okay. The food was good. The service was good. Parking was convenient. I would definitely return whenever I'm in the mood for some inexpensive, good Hibachi food. read more

I had a restaurant.com coupon and l checked them out. Nice and cozy setup. Sushi upstairs and Hibachi downstairs. The crowd was cool and everyone was hungry. The entertainment was short and the food was very tasty. Free refills on soft drinks, they even had sweet tea. Mango martini's seemed to be the drink of the evening. I had salmon and shrimp. The chef served the salmon last. It was cooked to perfection and seasoned very nicely. I wanted to eat it all in one shot, but l knew it would make a nice midnight snack or very tasty breakfast. The latter worked perfectly for me. I actually can't wait to go back. But due to the global situation at the moment, l have to wait, and due to social distancing, l finally have a chance to write my reviews and have some me time. read more

Food was normal to any hibachi spot Only 4 tables kind of small Reason it's getting 3 stars The chef was a smart mouth So if you've ever been to hibachi before you know that they offer you Yum Yum sauce . With that being said during the meal I asked the chef do you have any Yum Yum sauce , jokingly said no I only have ginger and something else .. after I asked again he said no we really don't carry Yum Yum sauce.. okay he then proceeds to say you don't come for the sauce you come for the food . At that point i told him no problem . Sooo there's my review of what I think of this place . read more

Hagane - Chicken Fried Rice Salmon Noodles - Japanese Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

Perfect food & service. Open late and has 2 floors of seating. Generous and kind staff, 5 out of 5 stars on all aspects.

I really do LOVE it here! The hibachi food here is unbeatable, especially for the price. We always get the Salmon Teriyaki w/Chicken, Fried Rice, noodles, Vegetables. Never disappointing! The Chefs are also pretty funny, my 4yrld son loves coming here. Not only is he entertained, but he eats everything without having to ask him to. Sometimes it gets a little packed, so you might want to call ahead of time :) read more

This is a regular spot for my wife and I. As far as quality, portion size, and value go, you're not going to find a better spot in the area. The food is consistently good and of such a portion size at such a good price that we just can't stop coming back. Usually, we will order the hibachi chicken/steak mix platter for one and share that, as well as the dinner roll combo (which allows you to combine 3 regular rolls for a reduced price at a total of 18 pieces of sushi. The amount of food they give for just the platter is more than enough for the both of us and we manage to get out of there stuffed and satisfied under $25; often taking food home with us. Come on people. You can't beat that. Also, they do takeout! For delivery, hit up seamless or grubhub. Their dinner plates come with a small salad and soup prior to the main course. The meats are always cooked juicy and tender, and the vegetables are cooked right with good flavor. We have had some bad experiences with rude service in the past, but I believe those persons were outside hires that no longer work there anymore, as we have not seen them around recently. The owners and regulars who we see there all the time are always very nice, polite, and prompt. BE ADVISED: There are large hibachi grills downstairs that will seat about 10 around (and are open to the public if a large group is not around them) but if you want to eat there you are required to order off the hibachi menu. If you want to have something that is not on the hibachi menu, you will have to sit upstairs at the tables in the sushi bar area. Speaking of which, there is a sushi bar upstairs. You can sit at the bar, but there is limited seating. There are several comfy table/booths upstairs that we typically sit at. Also, there is usually a significant amount of parking available on the main street (muni) and the side streets (free) so parking should not be a problem. All in all, we love this place. A definite recommendation for the best Japanese cuisine and restaurant environment in the area. read more

My wife and I had a good meal here this evening, I had the steak and salmon combination with fried rice, my wife had the Hibachi chicken, also with fried rice.

So listen to me when I say if you're looking for an intimate setting this is the spot. It's not too big, very close knit and our chef was cool. The prep show was fast but that's fine- we were starving. We ordered filet mignon and chicken. Chicken was eh but the steak was greaaaaat! Of course we ended up leaving our food there by accident. Oh the sake was good too! If you're in the neighborhood definitely check it out! read more

Solid service. Solid food. My sister and I went here on a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. There was 1 other tables dining hibachi style. The wait for the chef was not very long. He was entertaining and the food was really good! I enjoyed the fried rice and shrimp(which was fully cooked). My sister's scallops were roasted with a juicy smoky smell. Mmmm delish! Somehow he managed to cook them well and not make them rubbery. The vegetables were also flavorful and tasted fresh. The noodles weren't my fav but it was nice to have both rice and noodles. Great place for lunch or dinner, nothing too fancy or big. read more

Came here because of the Restaurant.com $25 giftcard. In order to use the voucher, you must purchase $50+ worth of food. I ordered the sushi Platter for 2 ($49) and ordered a miso soup ($2) and two cups of hot green tea ($1 each=$2) The sushi platter has 10pcs sushi, 15pcs sashimi w. 1 California roll and 1 dragon roll. The quality of the food was decent! Sashimi were thick cut and fresh. The rolls were decent as well. The original bill came up to $53 ($49+$2+$2). Note that they do charge you tax and gratuity (18%) before they take off the $25 (restaurant.com giftcard)off your bill. The bill ended up being 42 something, which round up to 43 after tip and tax were added. read more

First time here today, the "Sashimi Don" was one of the best things I've ever tasted. It's simply pieces of salmon sashimi over sushi rice. I can't find that in my own neighborhood or any other spot in the 5 boroughs of NYC. I could make regular salmon & regular rice in my kitchen, but that's not what I'm looking for when I dine out in a Japanese restaurant. I've been socially conditioned to brag about all other fresh, tasty lobster & sushi when I frequent other Japanese spots. But that's only because all I really want is either lobster, salmon, or shrimp. I learned a ton of other amazing menu items elsewhere over the years, but I want the basics only, if I were allowed to have my preference. And that is precisely what I got here at Hagane. I was proper shocked. I would recommend this food to anyone. The waitress was super friendly, as well. Thanks, Hagane! read more

Oh my God, Hagane was truly something else. Menu items are fantastic and the team is very courteous. I could not decided what to order, but I am so happy that I bought 3 California Rolls Combo, it was absolutely magnificent. Not to mention, the service was wonderful and the staff was very polite. Probability of going back to Hagane: 100% read more

What an amazing experience. At first i was a little uncertain about this venue because it was a friday and the place was completely empty...by the time i ordered my first drink the rest of my dinner party showed up&'was seated right away, also other people started coming in. The cook came to us first hence it was a birthday dinner & we had reservations. He was super friendly & soooo entertaining! He made the cooking portion of our meal fun. The food was cooked to each of our preferences & a large amount was given for such an amazing price. Also since it was for my friends birthday they gave dessert(on the house) & sang happy birthday. The only complaints i have is the extremely small parking lot & the fact that this gem of a place is hidden & looks a little run down from outside, but than again you dont judge a book by its cover & this venue is the perfect interpretation of that. read more

I came to this place to celebrate my sons 16 birthday. My son wanted habachi and the place was recommended by a friend. We were a total of 11 people. We ordered 9 adult orders and 2 kids orders. The food was barely enough literally. We went out to another location after leaving here. I will say there was a couple that shared the space with us whom were there first and their portions were much larger than ours. I will never return for the simple fact that a large crowd doesn't get the same service. If you want to go and be robbed go ahead but this is not the place. Also tip is included if you go with a large party. read more
