Hibachi 88, thank you for being a force of good in my life. Your meals are extremely affordable and you consistently produce my favorite hibachi chicken. I am very lucky that you are on my way home from work. To more dinners read more

I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp and an order of wings. There was an abundance of rice and about 10 very small shrimp in the hibachi. Where there should have been vegetables, there some overcooked vegetables on top and even more rice underneath. When I asked if this was the normal portion of shrimp, I was advised that it normally comes with 8 shrimp but even the picture on the menu had more shrimp than that so I'm not entirely sure that's correct. The wings tasted good and the hibachi was okay but I won't be back. read more

Hibachi 88 - Hibachi Shrimp - Japanese Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I got my food delivered and I tried a bunch of different menu items. The Edamame was not the best, the color looked off. It didn't look fresh, but it tasted okay. I thought the Crab Rangoon were a bit small. They were also wrapped in a way I've never seen before, but they were really easy to eat! The Gyoza (pan fried pork dumpling) was really good and the sauce was delicious! The Hibachi Chicken had a great flavor. The Hibachi Steak was good too. Each Hibachi dish came with lots of rice. The veggies may have been a bit over cooked. I would order the Hibachi Chicken and Gyoza again. read more

This food is expensive for no reason. I definitely won't be back. The portions don't even make sense. Never seen so little chicken or vegetables. Disappointed. It's low quality food and I wish I would've spent it somewhere Else if you were just going to serve me whatever this is. - my pics for the review is on Google reviews read more

Extremely rude staff. Food isn't good enough to compensate for that. Maybe teach them that after a customer says "thank you," the appropriate response is "you're welcome." I've been coming here for years and have never had this experience. read more

My husband and I are lunch at the Durham location. I ordered the hibachi shrimp and my husband ordered the hibachi chicken. They use some type of sauce (taste like teriyaki) on the hibachi and I didn't care for it. The rice and vegetables were good, but the yum yum sauce and ginger sauce were watery and lacked flavor. It's not the worst, but I've had much better. read more

Ordered carryout. Deeply disappointed. I ordered the 3 protein combo. Mostly chicken, very few shrimp. The container had more rice than anything. Even the veggies were scarce. read more

This is a really nice spot! The owners are so nice and welcome u in! The food was fast and fresh. They allow u to order the way u want, double meat, add extra vegies, no onions... whatever u like. They even gave us a drink on the house while we waited for our to go order. read more

We got take out habachi tonight and were very impressed with the safety protocols they have in place. All employees are wearing gloves and masks and they have plexiglass barriers set up at the ordering and pick up area. Everything is made fresh and was still piping hot when we arrived home. I got chicken hibachi and my spouse got hers with shrimp. I also got an order of crab ragoon which was so-so. I don't know why we don't come here more often, but each time we do return we say it needs to be on our once a month list. Hopefully it actually will. read more

Rice was undercooked and I'm pretty sure I found it here in my food Sooooo do with that what you will read more

Service is quick and they were friendly. You can order online which is great. I could definitely use less onions, next time I will probably ask for no onions so I can get more carrots and zucchini. There was no broccoli included. It came with white sauce and a dark sauce which was really good. Perfect quick meal at an affordable price. read more

thought it was great.... got the steak/shrimp hibachi. looking forward to going back..

Ordered from here during my lunch break. I am always looking for new spots to try...I am such a foodie. This place is only a few minutes from my job. The food was fresh and flavorful. I had the chicken and steak and I was satisfied. You get a lot of food. Prices are reasonable and compare to other hibachi restaurants read more

Always love Hibachi 88, they give you a great portion for your money! The Philly steak egg rolls are delicious as well as the regular egg rolls. The sauces they give you on the side are soo good ! read more

Ordered to go. Had the chicken and steak entree and my fiancé had the shrimp. Was pretty good and had flavor. We wanted something simple and got it. Easy to call in and order. Pick up was quick. Location is in a very random spot. You will miss it if you are not looking for it in the shopping center. Also tried the chicken wings and gyoza which were tasty. Probably wouldn't eat inside, but liked the food to-go. read more

Hibachi chicken no rice extra veggies. They barely give protein (2.5oz and yes I put it on my food scale to weigh it) I gave one star because I had to but I will say they are fast. Definitely not worth it! Go to Bojangles across the street, make it a cheat meal! read more

Good food and quick. Really enjoyed the Hibachi Chicken. Would eat here again. A lot of food for the price. read more

So so good! I was attending a workshop in RTP and decided to grab an early dinner to go from here on my way home in North Raleigh. I called in my order for hibachi chicken and drove about 8-9 minutes away to pick up my order. When I arrived they were bagging up my order! Always a plus after a long day. The portion and prices are great. My meal came up to less than $7 and I was only able to eat half, so I still have half for another meal, which is also another plus. Like to get my money's worth. The food was fresh and cooked perfectly! The restaurant has another location in Raleigh that I've been to as well. I enjoyed the food there too! This location is in a small shopping center that has a grocery store and few other restaurants with a good amount of parking available. There are a few tables inside, but it's small and not necessarily somewhere to have a relaxed meal. It would be fine for a quick bite, but not much more. I went around 4 PM so it was empty but I can imagine how packed it can get during peak times. I suggest just getting it to go! Don't forget extra sauces are 50 cents each! With my order I received one white sauce and one ginger. read more

Not sure if it was the coffee or the food but. Explosion in toilet this morning. I always drink coffee and that never usually happens. Also gyoza sauce tasted good but also tasted weird. read more

The food is so good. I've gotten the steak and shrimp from here 3 times, and it's been so good every time.

Ordered this food for delivery, so can't speak to the ambiance or atmosphere of the restaurant itself, but the food was very good quality! Not the best hibachi I've ever had, but considering it took ~30mins max for my food to arrive from the time I ordered it, I can't complain! Also reasonably priced, and they sent 'yum yum' sauce in containers which was great. Would definitely be a return takeout/delivery customer in the future. read more

Hibachi 88 - shrimp, chicken, & steak hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Delicious, fresh, speedy service with a smile. The car lines were definitely an indication this place was worth it. We had hibachi chicken and steak with extra steak on the side.. a nice, generous portion. We also had their soup.. delicious! Chicken fried rice actually had decent flavor. I usually have to drown the chicken in sauce ( brown sauce was perfect!) but I did no need to. Veggies were not drowning in cooking oil, and for the first time my husband ate all them all. I wish there is a more eco friendly container for the food. read more

I've been trying out all of the local hibachi places in the area recently, and I think I found my new favorite. I didn't have high expectations initially because their prices were lower than some of the other places I've been trying lately (everywhere has been increasing their prices), so I was expecting lower quality. But I was completely blown away. I ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp. The to go box was completely full and filled me up. The steak was cooked perfectly (the website even gives you cooking options). The vegetables were delicious. The fried rice was prepared exactly how I like it. They even give you a quick call to let you know your order is ready to be picked up. I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but I was so impressed that I want to see this place be successful and stay open for a long time so I can keep going to my new favorite hibachi spot. read more

3.5 really. Hibachi noodles are yummy and so are the gyoza. DO NOT get the crab rangoon here. Tasteless, no filling (no crab probably too). Tried them twice and they sucked both times. So much good food here for that to be so horrible read more

Went with my 2 girlfriends We loved it, it fast, it was fresh, it was just plain great read more

Amazing food, service, and people. High quality, cheap, and fast all in one place. Only thing I could recommend would be to order online and eat to-go if you don't like eating with plastic utensils. Otherwise, there's nothing to complain about. 10/10 read more

Solid lunch to-go. Consistent. Delicious. Cheap. Chicken Hibachi. read more

On our first ever visit we decided to eat in rather than getting takeout. The food was good, and very inexpensive. The ginger dressing on the salad was tasty. I had hibachi chicken, and it was a nice sized portion, so I had about half for leftovers. The staff seemed nice, you just order at the counter. The only thing I didn't like was everything is served in styrofoam, even if you are dining in. I realize it's more of a takeout spot, but I wish there was a different, less wasteful option at least when dining in. read more

A little disappointing. Truly, I should have known when I walked in and saw the quick Chinese take-out style of a restaurant. The lack of Hibachi tables aren't the deal breaker for me, although I secretly like the show better than the meal generally. However, my husband adores hibachi so here we were. They had a few 4 seater tables, so not a bad lay-out overall. It was interesting to be served miso soup and an entree in the to-go cartons - but you know what? That's actually the pretty awesome part since I love hole-in-the-walls and whatever, I've been in Chinatown. But the shrimp hibachi was really sugary, and after a few bites, I was thinking, why on Earth didn't I just make this myself? Or order fried rice - it isn't that different. Although, if you are really craving the hibachi yum-yum or ginger sauce, I kinda get it - it's really not too bad if you can get over the fact that the refined sugar is rotting your teeth and enhancing your curves. I can see how this is a great lunch place if you're close-by. A little pricey for what it is, but I've spent money on worse. Eh, it is what it is. read more

I ordered food from here today because it was close. I will say I liked it a lot. I got the chicken hibachi with white rice. There could be more vegetables, but otherwise, it was quite a large serving. I will order again. read more

The food was really good! I ordered take out and I just glanced in the top of the box until I got home. When I opened it, there was a very small amount of meat and veggies, then there was a ton of rice in the box. Very disappointing since the food was good. I won't go back because of that and I paid for extra veggies on my order. read more

Great spot for quick hibachi plates. The rice is elite, none of that dry or bland stuff. The chicken and sesame chicken options are always consistent. My go to is the spring rolls and veggie hibachi plate. The employees are very nice also! Im a regular. read more

Always hot and fresh!! There service is excellent and it's so nice to have Hibachi at such a great price! I will continue to be a customer. My favorite is the Hibachi Chicken and love how they also have cabbage sautéed with the other veggies. The one thing I would change is have the veggies alittle more crunchy and chunky and the carrots more sweet. read more

I agree with other reviewers this place has solid hibachi, but it wasn't like wow this is great! It was just o.k for me. I stopped in for lunch and ordered the shrimp hibachi with a drink. Probably the best thing about this place is your eating healthy here when you do order hibachi. Rice with veggies (zucchini, cabbage, carrots). The shrimp wasn't as bountiful as I would hope, but that is typical when you order this dish. The food was pretty good (shrimp didn't have mush flavor until dipped in sauce). The restaurant is small, and nothing special about the decor. Fine for dining in or take-out. Service was friendly, but being my first time here I didn't see the big posting on the wall to the right when you walk in with a listing and pictures of combination specials. Surprised it wasn't brought to my attention, since it would have been a few dollars more than what I ordered (with a combo meal you get hibachi plus an egg roll or soup and a drink. Anyway, I might go with the combo next time and probably won't get the shrimp again. I noticed that they have chicken wings, so that intrigued me enough to give that a try sometime. read more

The food is fresh and tasty with generous portion sizes. The hibachi entree and the miso soup were outstanding. I love their ginger sauce and white sauce.i will definitely be going back. read more

The people who run this place are the absolute rudest I've ever encountered. They gave me the wrong order and the ONLY way they'd refund me is if I brought the whole tray back (I live 20 minutes each way I'm not holding this food for 2 days so you'll believe me). They are the worst i will never give them my money again read more

Came to this place on 9/10/18 and it didn't live up to my expectations. Yes it was cheap but the chicken, steak and shrimp were bone dry. The rice was mushy and there was hardly any vegetables for example there was only two tiny pieces of broccoli in two separate orders. It's not worth even it's cheap price. I don't leave bad reviews, but this was the rare exception. And I'm sorry I had to write this. read more

My husband and I have been fans of this place since it opened. The prices are cheap and the portions are large (and delicious!). The staff have always been kind and I love the rewards card they have. Recently, we hosted a large get together and needed a nice meal idea that wouldn't be very expensive (and wasn't the usual Pizza or Fried Chicken). I decided on Hibachi 88 and it was the best decision ever. The staff were easy to work with - letting me customize some of the options on their catering menu (yes! they have a catering menu!). They took the order around lunchtime for a same day, evening pickup. They also threw in an extra salad just because. They even helped me load my car. The catering portions were supposed to feed 6-8, but were so large, they easily fed close to 10-15 each. At ~$50 per portion (includes chicken, veggies, and a huge container of rice) you're looking at less than $5 per person. Plus - the food was a hit. Many folks offered compliments (thinking I'd made it myself haha, I corrected them and handed them a menu :)) I loved them before, but I adore them now. IMHO this is the best Hibachi place in the Triangle. read more

Been coming here for two years, best Hibachi I've had, very consistent. Owner is on site and awesome! I would pay double what they charge.
