Ordered online, food was ready fairly quickly on my drive there, and portion size was decent compared to cost. Parking is limited since they're on the corner of the building and in a shopping center, so may have to walk across but no big deal. Restaurant was clean and the lady who helped me was very nice. We ordered Steak and Shrimp Hibachi, Shrimp Hibachi and Steak, Chicken and Shrimp Hibachi. Chicken skewers and a steak egg roll. You can customize what veggies you want online which was nice especially for my son. You get 2 white sauce packets and 1 ginger packet with each hibachi platter. If you like white sauce on the sweet side and more runny you'll enjoy this one. They come in actual packets which was new for me! Flavor overall all, everything was great. Steak wasn't overcooked, it was tender and seasoned. Shrimp wasn't overcooked and seasoned well even had some of those crispy bits on the side. The chicken was moist and not dry. Everything was seasoned. The rice was flavored from whatever sauce they put on the proteins. Veggies were good. The steak cheese egg roll was interesting, it was in a spring roll wrapper I think but it was good overall. I drove an hour away and the egg roll was still warm and crispy not soggy so that was nice. The chicken skewers were good, they were moist and seasoned. My husband said it was the best ones he's ever had. My son had noodles instead of rice and those were good. For the convenience, price and quality of food this place hit all the marks. I did see previous reviews that mentioned it wasn't the greatest but my experience was the complete opposite. I paid $55 overall and I think that's well worth it. One of the better hibachis we've actually had. read more

So Fengs was closed so we tried Hibachi 88. I can say we won't have Asian food local on a Monday again. While quick and convenient the sub par quality won't have us back anytime soon. Outside the soup and Lo Mien, nothing else was really palatable. You know in a big family when you are throwing away food it just wasn't worth it. Not sure how they are still in business honestly! read more

I tried out Hibachi88 this past weekend for date night after receiving a mailer--turns out, it replaced the old Chinese #1 spot. The Good: Friendly staff - Welcoming and attentive. Totally remodeled interior - A nice, fresh update. Solid portion sizes - No complaints here. Fair pricing - Especially with the mailer deal (buy one entrée at full price, get the second 50% off). Decent food quality - Good, but missing that extra flavor or pizzazz to really stand out. The Not-So-Good: No free water option - Only bottled water for sale. Skimpy on veggies - My rice and chicken came with exactly four broccoli florets. Four. Come on now. To-go style dining - Even though they have tables and booths, all orders come in takeout containers, making it feel like they expect most people to just grab and go. Overall, Hibachi88 is fine--decent food, reasonable prices, and a nice space. But a few small changes (like offering tap water and adding more veggies) could make it even better. Would I go back? Maybe--especially if another coupon shows up in the mail. read more

There is a lot of food, I could not finish it all but that is the best thing I have to say. I liked their ginger sauce, but was not crazy about the Yum Yum Sauce. The steak was ok but the rice was flavorless. read more

Very decent Hibachi! I used their website to order takeout and everything went smoothly. Parking was easy, the time estimate was accurate, and the cashier was polite and efficient. The price was pretty good for the portion size and my Hibachi chicken was solid. I would definitely consider coming back here if I was craving Hibachi in the future. read more

This is a great lunch or dinner option and has something for everyone. The food is fresh, large portions, inexpensive and good! They've also done a great job renovating the old Chinese Restaurant. Completely disregard the guy who took his date here after receiving a coupon in the mail and rated it a two star because they don't serve tap water. read more

I absolutely loved this place. I was in the mood for hibachi and looked up some spots, and this place came up. There is one in Durham, but I felt like driving out to Cary. It was in an easy to find area, and very nice. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the nicest woman ever. We had a great conversation about our love for NSYNC lol. I picked up my order, and ate it as soon as I got home. Cary is a good 15 to 20 minute drive from where I live, and the food was super hot still! I ordered the hibachi chicken and shrimp with clear soup and crab rangoons. Everything was delicious. I wish there were more vegetables with the hibachi, but I know next time to just order extra vegetables next time. I will definitely be back here soon. read more

Hibachi 88 - Japanese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Food is always great and service is always fast and accommodating! Highly recommend if you're looking for a newer Hibatchi spot in the area.

Great takeout or quick lunch option if you're in the area! I got chicken and had no complaints. My order was ready in about 15 minutes. I will deeper again! read more

Overall, it's a good spot for take out. The portions were generous, food was not over seasoned, and pricing is very reasonable. I had the steak and shrimp and was pleasantly surprised by how much food I received. The fried rice was average at best, but you can upgrade to noodles. If you need a take out spot, this will do just fine. read more

Hibachi 88 - Shrimp and Steak Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Food was awful. Miso soup tasted like water and the rice tasted like gruel. Chicken was ok.

Solid fast Chinese spot. I tried the soa chicken noodles and a miso soup. The miso soup was delivered to my table first and a few minutes later the noodles. Both were very hot which is excellent. The miso soup was average, but for just 2.28 I can't knock it much. The noodles had an excellent flavor. The zucchini was cooked all the way through, but retaining a slight crunch almost like a slightly meatier pickle. the quantity was large enough for just about anybody's hunger. The total of the meal was 11.67. I would definitely return here if I'm looking for a decent lunch with quick downtime. read more

Hibachi 88 - Soba chicken noodles - Japanese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This new, cute spot had really high reviews so we decided to try it. I ordered hibachi steak and shrimp & my ordered shrimp fried rice. The steak was a rubbery and dry. The sauce they gave me really didn't help. The shrimp was okay but would've preferred larger size. My husband said the fried rice taste like it was prepared from an instant meal and not fresh. The crab Rangoon was good. They need to upgrade their plastic forks from those flimsy cheap kind and move away from styrofoam while dining in the restaurant. I gave it a Three because it wasn't bad but also wasn't great. read more

Has to be my favorite Hibachi spot. You get a good amount of food especially the chicken or steak. Tastes really great with lots of flavor and wow I love the yum-yum sauce. This has become our go-to spot when ordering hibachi. The dumplings are also pretty good too. read more

Finally found a hibachi quick serve restaurant that I love. The food is so good. And they give you those two sauces. I can't understand why other places don't always do that. I've already been twice in the past week. Can't recommend enough! read more

Hidden in the corner of a plain Jane Lowe's Food shopping center in Morrisville, it's very easy to miss Hibachi88. It's not fancy but it is a good fast casual healthier option for this part of West Cary. This is the standard order at the counter & they cook to order. The only issue I had was that we had to repeat our order 3-4 times to the young girl behind the counter & she still had the order wrong. Entrees were all served in disposable to-go containers with plenty of white and ginger sauces. They all came with fried rice and sautéed veggies. Food was flavorful as well made but the steak was very chewy. read more

I'm a repeat customer, so I enjoy this place. However, in my opinion the rice needs improvement. It is compacted and sticky - not what I expect from hibachi rice. I also am not a fan of the sauce coming in packets. I like to dip, not pour. read more

Lunch here at this no-frills hibachi spot is a pretty nice deal. Definitely a good portion of food delivered to you, so you will be satiated. If you are craving rice, meat, and vegetables with hibachi or teriyaki style flavors, this is a nice, affordable option in the center of RTP. I had a similar experience to another reviewer that my only real gripe was with the young staff person at the register. She was not particularly nice or helpful with answering my 1-2 questions. read more

Food was great! Absolutely amazing. Shrimp was the bomb. Chicken was seasoned and the sauces were good. Veggies weren't cooked too tough. I had the Hibachi Chicken and my partner had the hibachi shrimp. The Honey Bbq wings were to die for. Great flavor and sauce, you get 6 wings. Overall 8/10 Also great portions! read more

Been here a few times in the past few weeks and I've been happy with the food every time. I've had the vegetable hibachi and my kid has had chicken hibachi - both excellent. The customer service is also good - very friendly and not trying to push you out the door as fast as possible, like other fast food type places. I highly recommend plus it's so close to home! read more

Fresh, perfectly cooked. Fast and Friendly service. Inside was very clean.i highly recommend this location. read more

Hibachi 88 - Hibachi Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

The food was delicious. Just like the hibachi steak houses we have been to in the past. It was not over-seasoned or under-seasoned. Their hibachi sauce was amazing! Wish I would have gotten extra sauces. Spring rolls were fresh. Everything was hot when we got home. I didn't realize they had hibachi places like this. read more

Everything was super over cooked. We got the chicken and steak combo and the steak was like jerky. We ended up tossing 1/2 of it. The rice was horrible, we mostly tossed that as well. The veggie was also so overcooked and squishy. The noodles were not too bad, although quite oily. read more

Quality food, quality portions, quality prices, quick service. Highly recommend! We went back twice in one week.

Great little place for some Togo hibachi. Prices are good, quantity and quality are both great, speed is good. You can eat inside but not a lot of room. I highly recommend. read more

Great food. Fast service. Best Hibachi Chicken I've found in the area. The cheeseburger spring rolls are quite unique and tasty. My only recommendation is if you're not a fan of cabbage, ask them to leave it off or go light. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! Food was cold and not only was it cold but we didn't even receive the correct order that we had paid for. When contacting the place back they refused to help. I wish I could give this place zero stars. Never will I ever come back to this place! read more

Great food, smelled. Service was a blast. The ambiance was green. Go eat here if u want to have an explosion of taste in your mouth

Good spot, good hibachi. Love the noodles. Veggies are fresh and cooked nice. Quick, easy, cheap. Would prefer the chicken cut larger but it's still good! read more

we were in town for a few days and needed something quick & easy the night we arrived. we ordered over the phone & it was ready quickly. the staff were super friendly & the food was SO good! we got the gyoza (spectacular) the crab rangoons (pretty good, just not big fans of the sauce), the different hibachi plates (SO good!), and some extra white sauce... this entire review is biased on how spectacular that white sauce was. it was the best i've ever had in my life. i'd buy a bucket of it to take home if i could. SO SO GOOD! read more

We picked up takeout a few times and everything was great! Ordering for a family of 5 is not always easy but all 5 loved their meals. This will be one of our weekly takeout meals moving forward. read more

Great food Excellent service!!! It is delicious. We ordered a hibachi for 7 people and was great. read more

The Hibachi Shrimp and Steak is way too skimpy and the Steak totally lacked taste for the price the shrimp are way too small and the so call steak is a few really small measly chunks an absolute ripoff,they fill the container with their tastless fried rice to make it look like you get a lot such a shame.The white sauce comes in a package which is way too watery and has a tiny amount of taste I like my Hibachi with a good white sauce this place has the worst pre-made sauce in a package.I will look for another Hibachi place with better quality food this place is not the one this is not a real deal Hibachi Restaurant at all read more

Tried for the first time a couple days ago. We ordered the crab wontons and the chicken and shrimp hibachi. The food tasted fresh and delicious. The wontons didn't taste like they were fried in old oil or over cooked. I recommend this place to anyone. read more

I would say this is the best fast food hibachi in Cary. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was top notch. Highly recommend if you want something fast for a fair price and great quality! read more

Large portions, affordable prices, what I would consider a great place for hibachi takeout

Food was good. Nice cook on vegetables. Meat steak and chicken almost diced pieces not used to that. White sauce was great. Brown sauce was so salty. Overall 3 out of 5 read more

Was so excited when I saw a hibachi place opening in Cary and this did not disappoint! The service was fast and the employees were very nice. We got our food pretty quick and decided to eat in the restaurant as it seemed nice inside. I got the hibachi steak (ask for extra teriyaki sauce on the side) and it came with veggies and fried rice. I also got the clear soup. All of these things tasted so good. The soup was hot and very flavorful. The steak and rice tasted great with the extra sauce and the veggies were perfect since they weren't doused in sauce like some other places. Will be recommending to neighbors! Oh, they also have a punch card to get a free entree after a certain number of purchases. read more

Originally coming from NY and a foodie, I would give Hibachi 88 a solid "meh!?" On a scale of one to five chef hats, I would give this place maybe a two and a half. The food is not at all comparable to a real Hibachi [steak] restaurant like a Benihana. I really didn't expect it to be. However, as far as fast food take out, I'd rather stick with decent Chinese take-out. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, which considering take-out prices wasn't all that inexpensive. However, putting that aside, you get what you pay for. The steak was over-cooked [too well done}, not that they ask you how you want it...they don't. The shrimp were OK as was the rice and vegetables. Overall, it was unremarkable and for my taste, pretty bland even with the sauces they provide. The salad with the ginger dressing was OK as were the spring rolls and the plain soup. All I can say is that places like this are not for me. I don't mind paying extra money for quality. This fell far short in that department. read more
