Hagane - Japanese Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

The waitress was rude, we went in 45 min prior to closing and we sat for about 10 min and didn't get asked weather we wanted water or something to drink. She didn't even acknowledge that we were there. It's not like she was going to pay for our food. But, my boyfriend and I will never come here again nor will our friends. read more

I've been to this place numerous times. It's an awesome place when your going for hibachi. Went upstairs to wait for my table and tried ordering a drink at the bar, the bartender gave the worst customer service experience. As I was waiting with my family by the bar, she didn't offer me a menu, I asked for a drink and she attended 3 tables without excusing herself. As I approached her she didn't excuse herself not did she care to get my order. NEVER again will I ever come to this place. It really sucks that because of Sarah I will never come here again. She doesn't know how to multitask or to be courteous. read more

Good service. Food was great. The place was small but nice. Good for a small group of friends. But servers rushed us a little after hibachi guy was done. Otherwise would return again. read more

Awesome restaurant I been coming here for years the bar at the back is gone but they do still serve alcoholic beverages family friendly nice staff clean secluded spot perfect for lovers read more

Nice local hibachi spot close to me in Howard beach, reserved seating for regular dining area but was 5 mins late so they gave up our table. Luckily the hibachi table was available immediately so we decided to catch a show and eat. For $22 you get the bang of the buck. soup, salad, nonalcoholic drink, and I chose the steak and shrimp combo with fried Rice. They also gave dessert as well part of the meal as well. The food is sooooooo tasty, you can tell it was fresh and seasoned. The reason why I took two stars off (I am trying my best to not take another star off) because the hibachi person who cooked the food in front of us is super disrespectful. He used certain things to include in his show to make us laugh. I totally get it and down for the laugh but there's a lining of not doing it overboard . You can tell he didn't give a sh**. He kept squirting Buddha "pee pee" ( its water ) at us more then once where literally my eye make up came off. Then he pushed it when he did it to my two babies . What pushed it even more is when I snapped, he did a fun trick where he threw pieces of meat from distance into our mouths . But he kept throwing it at the baby faces. Not once, not twice, three times. If It knocked my baby niece in the face, there would've been another show to look at. I was super mad and didn't enjoy the rest of the show . And he got the picture when I sat there not even wanting to eat my food. I shouldn't be covering my kids face from things being thrown at them. The areas are tight . I will highly recommend to NOT bring kids or babies . It's super inappropriate saying Buddha is pee pee on them. I will only come back to food in dining area, but I haven't tried that yet . And the staff are very slow and forgetful of things we ordered. read more

I guess hibachi is all about the experience that the chef gives you. the front row cooking show was fasinating but when it comes to the food and the taste... just bland. everything was drenched in soy sauce... the end. read more

Very good Tepan restaurant. I was in town for business and staying near JFK. After a calotype of days of hotel food I decided to venture out and came across this restaurant. I was thoroughly impressed by the service and quality of food. $55 dinner for two- steak, chicken, scallops, shrimp, fried rice, and noodles. read more

My favorite hibachi place. The food is always amazing. We moved from Queens out to Brooklyn but still go back here to get our hibachi. No other place compares so far. Hopefully you'll be lucky to get Tuna as your chef as he's one of the best. We are actually thinking about going back one night for Sushi upstairs as we haven't really eaten up there yet. If your looking for a great hibachi place this is it. read more

I love habachi at this place. The place is clean the staff is friendly and food amazing.

Amazing service! Great food. I always come here with my family, this food is way better than the over rated places. Their online prices need to be updated. The food is more expensive than what's posted. Honestly this is always a good choice read more

very solid habatchi, pretty small place downstairs, looked like they had an upstairs but i did not go and see it. The food was good and the staff was friendly, and the lychee slush was good. not sure if its worth the trip out here but if i was in the area i would come back. read more

This was a great hibachi restaurant. didnt have a reservation yet no wait. went on a sunday evening like 8pm. me and my boyfriend thought it was a nice cozy spot yet to find out they have an whole upstairs dining area if you dont want hibachi food and just the japanese/sushi food. our cook was very funny and entertaining. I really had a great time there and plan to go back. We used a certificate from dine.restaurant.com and had no issues using it. It took $25 off the bill. We didnt order drinks so I dont know the prices. read more

This place is pleasantly enjoyable! Food portions are huge, we all had to go boxes. I had the filet and shrimp combo - Seasoned well and perfectly medium cooked. The chef is entertaining and did some tricks that the kids loved. Good destination for my daughters birthday party there - everyone enjoyed their food. They also have space upstairs. Will be going back. read more

The food is fantastic! Nicely done tricks and Tuna is super cool. The volcano is really fun to watch for families and friends. The food is delicious and there is a pretty big variety. The beef and chicken with fried rice is delicious and perfect for take away as well. Lovely staff that are attentive and friendly. They also have a bar upstairs that is a nice add on. Overall amazing quality food and service and would go back regularly read more

Delicious food, peaceful atmosphere, and great service.

Great place compared to a lot of other restaurants on crossbay. Great device, tasty food and decent prices. No complaints here :)

The sushi was awesome, customer service was great, the night I go didn't have much guest so I can say about when its busy, I would recommend this place to anyone read more

This is my go to hibachi place. I've been here 3-4 times. Its small so sometimes the wait is a little lengthy. We always have a good time, the food is great. There is a sushi bar upstairs and the price is great too. All the times I have had seafood - its always been fresh. read more

The hibachi here is good. Good taste and flavor. Can't complain. Not my favorite hibachi restaurant but a great local place to eat near me . Overall the food and customer service is excellent. Also the prices are great compared to others. read more

Loved this place! Food was delicious and the lychee martini was on point!! The chef came out and did his "hibachi" thing like the normal. Everyone at the table loved it. I love hibachi. I always get the same thing which is the chicken and steak combination. The price was reasonable considering we got to take the leftovers home and they tasted yummy still as a late night snack. I'd definitely recommend this place and I'll be coming back soon!! Also when we were leaving the hostess gave my daughter a cute little Knick knack. It was a nice finishing touch to the dining experience! read more

Small place with 4 hibachi tables, you'll have to b seated with other (strangers). Food is not all that. Found a hair in my fried rice. Chef said it's not his. He did go in the back and change it. $10.90 mandatory gratitude for 2 ppl. I ordered a fried rice with chicken for $10, but was charged $18 for hibachi chicken plus $1.95 extra for fried rice.....Be careful what you order, make sure they understand you! The group of 5 ppl sitting with us ordered one dish and shared it between them.... read more

Great restaurant! I had the sushi and fried ice and it was delicious! The service was excellent! I recommend 100%

Good environment food was good only thing was the mixed drinks were not the greatest . Good hibachi but not the best

I would have gave 5 stars but considering our experience on this specific day they deserved 2 and a half. The food is usually delicious. They are very clean. The waitresses are very nice. On this particular occasion I was disappointed. We arrived at around 8 and they were packed. There were about 30 people waiting to get seated. Our wait time was not bad. When we sat we receieved the yummy ginger dressing salad and soup. When it came time for the cooking that is when our unhappy experience began. The hibatchi cook was rushing. He made the lo mein and forgot to put garlic in! Garlic is everything:( they tasted like plain spaghetti. He also forgot to give us the ginger sauce and mustard in the beginning in those little dishes. The vegetables were chewy, they werent steamed enough. The rice I guess was O.K considering the lo mein and veggies were bad. Now came time for the shrimp and chicken. The shrimp tasted fishy. Once again he was rushing and the flavors didnt set in. The chicken was O.K only because I made sure he was using terriyaki sauce and letting it set in. Then it came time for the check and we had a restaurant.com coupon. I guess this was an extra step for her and when I gave it to the waitress she looked even more frustrated. It will be a while until I return. I lost my appetite for this place after my experience. read more

Great food and service. I have a gluten allergy and they catered to me and made my food sauce less and it was still delicious! The food came out quick and the chef put on the good show. The restaurant was clean. The restroom as well. My family of 4, two being under the age of 5, would definitely go again! Great local spot for Howard Beach and south east Brooklyn. read more

I went here on Valentines day. It was busy and staff could not handle the pressure. One waitress refused to serve me . There was a group of people who started shouting and demanding service cause if was over a hour they where sitting there. The waiter gave us a bottle of saki on the house for the inconvenience. But charge it on our bill :( bad service ok food . If u want real hibachi go to shiro of japan read more

Good food and nice ambiance. Found them through restaurant.com. Which they honored on a Saturday night. There was a little wait but it was worth it. I ordered the shrimp hibachi it was a lot and tasted great. Defiantly recommend. read more

They offer delivery but wont deliver to a town within a 2 mile radius from them. Good job guys

1 star because they are kid friendly. First time here and the very last. Service was horrible. Our waitress was never to be found. The exhaust fans do not work properly, therefore, HOT and smelly. Food was just ok. Chef was very nice, but that's all. Certainly not cheap either. Too many other Japenese restaurants in the area...so much better. Disappointed! read more

Very cozy hibachi restaurant. If you don't like the crowds and the noise at Benihana or Arirang then this is definitely the place for you. I highly recommend that you try their ice cream dessert. I am not sure what it Is called however it is out of this world. read more

Best Japanese food in the area, always fresh I never had any complaints and the price is reasonable. Hands down best spot for Habachi & sushi read more

came here for the sushi because i'm not really a fan of hibachi. the sushi seemed to be good quality, and the prices weren't too bad. they have a fantastic dinner special which gives you 3 rolls for $14. i tried the boston roll, salmon skin, and shrimp tempura. i wasn't really a fan of the salmon skin, but i had never tried that roll before, so i can't necessarily attribute that as a fault of the restaurant. the service was also super friendly and accommodating. the only thing i didn't really like that much was the atmosphere - it didn't feel like the AC was turned on (in the middle of summer this is a big turn off), and the place didn't smell super clean to be honest. i would recommend this more for take out, if you are not sitting down for hibachi. read more

Been here multiple times and each time everything has been very good. Wether it was down at the hibachi grill or on the second floor for sushi. Definitely will keep coming here. read more

I was there a while ago because I had a coupon for the place so I brought my family and my mother in law. I haven't been to too many Hibachi places but the food was ok. Keep in my, as a guy, my food standard is not that high. I've actually seen better performances by the chef when they cook for you. My wife is a big food critic and we both agree that we've been to better places. Lucky I got a discount cause if I had to pay full price for a place like this, I might have given this place 1 Star. read more

We went to Hagane last night for the first time. Based on some of the other reviews, I thought we may have to wait to be seated at the hibachi, but the restaurant was about two-thirds full and we were able to be seated right away. Our chef, Jacky, put on a wonderful show and was very entertaining. He had a great personality, and was a lot of fun. The food was good, and plentiful. Three in our party had steak in our meals and it was cooked perfectly in every case. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will come here again. We ended up going up the street a bit for a Starbucks coffee and dessert. It was a very pleasant evening. While we were here, we learned that the owner of Hagane also owns Osake in Rockaway Park, which we frequent on a regular basis. The food is great there too. read more

Love the food here. Have been a patron for years. Food is always top quality, chefs entertaining and wait staff very friendly.

I was here quite a few years ago, I would like to say more than 5 and the food was good then. After moving to the area recently I decided to order take out(delivery at first but the delivery person was not in that day, not a big deal because they are close to me). Ordered a chicken hibachi entrée and a filet mignon hibachi entrée and food was ready and hot 15 minutes later. Got everything home and opened a large "bento box" type container with more food than I could have even hoped to finish in one sitting. Everything was cooked well- only criticism is that they could've added a little more sauce to the filet mignon. I tried both entrees and they were both delicious. The amount of food and the quality is worth it for take out or to dine in. PS. I do not eat shellfish and they listened to the instructions to not put it on my entrée and instead put my portion with the other entrée in the order which was nice. read more

Great food. The quality is always great. Been here quite a few times. Disappointed to see they now sneak in an 18% gratuity, something that is usually only applied to groups of 6 or more. Check your bill carefully before you pay. read more

let me start, this is a great place for everyone, (parties, couples, laidback). Grill on the ground floor, I'm pretty sure it's great for alot of peps. sushi upstairs. My personal op. on the food, at best, your local chinese takeout. sorry, my personal op. Great for gathering, not so great on the food. sushi was typical, fair grade, soy sauce seems to be free, or they get it at BJ's (which is only one exit away on the Belt,) at a great price, or hopefully the chef was bumedp by one of his/her staff. Service was pretty decent. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. read more
