This is my personal comfort food, so my review will reflect that.
FINALLY a Hibachi place that gets it right! I'm from the deep south - we do "fast food" Hibachi as an art form there. Hello Hibachi is the closest I've found to tasting home. It's a 30 min drive, but the other Hibachi food trucks in Vegas do not do it like this, not even close. This food is actually cooked like you went to a sit down restaurant.
The inside is decorated in light brown wicker, and has some Hawaiian themed elements throughout. Very cute and clean. They offer Hawaiian sun drinks and Hawaiian host chocolates.
We tried a mixture of the different sides offered. Mixed vegetables, rice, and onion soup. The rice was absolutely incredible. It tasted different than what I can make at home. Slightly grilled and browned, but still soft and chewy. The portion of rice is good to me. The mixed veggies are yummy, also grilled, but mostly zucchini. I like broccoli a bit more, but that's just personal preference. The onions are bomb! The onion soup was super onion-y and exactly what I hoped it would be. It is similar to what you would get at a Japanese steakhouse. Very salty and oily, but so good. There was also an add on for $1 to color your rice blue. One of the oddest things I've ever seen a restaurant do, but I guess it's cool for the kids.
The portion of chicken for the price is a little disappointing. I ordered mine with Teriyaki sauce ($1 more) and my partner got plain. I genuinely could not tell a difference. Both were awesome. I would suggest not to spend the extra $1 and just get teriyaki sauce as your side. The chicken was perfect. Moist, juicy, a little soft. Not rubbery at all. I hope they add an "extra protein" option in the future, if it isn't there already. While the meal was $14 with just chicken, at least it is cooked right. It is pricey, but I will drive here and pay it for food that hits the mark this hard.
The sauces are great and worth paying extra to get a couple more with your meal. The meals come with 2, which is very fair. They are a good size, but as I mentioned.. southerners drench our stuff in sauce, especially if it's base is mayo. Hello Hibachi gets it right with their Yum Yum sauce especially. No weird ginger, excessive sugar, or sour notes. Just smooth, creamy, with hints of garlic, tomato, and vinegar. They also offer it mixed with teriyaki. There is also a ginger sauce which I assume will be good with their side salad. I can't wait to try them all.
The customer service was just okay. It seems like they may easily get orders mixed up. We were the only people in the restaurant but they still had to check with us for our order name. I would check your order if you're picking up an online order just to be sure, but all our items were correct.
I am super impressed with HH and will be back, probably at least once a week. read more
